Richie & Brutus _ Gratitude
by Zenglen · 2011 · kompa · 7:51 · Haitian Creole, French
The source presents Zenglen with Gracia Delva on “Gratitude” and includes Richie and Brutus in the title. Uploaded in 2011, the recording runs nearly eight minutes, closer to a performance or large band arrangement than a radio single. The credits gather figures carrying Zenglen’s history as a musicians’ school: Gracia’s voice, Richie’s drums and direction, and the Brutus name tied to the group’s foundation. Its title asks for thankfulness, and collective form suits the idea. Memory, collaboration, and kompa cadence become a way of saying thanks.
