Posted on Saturday, July 14, 2007
Tabou Combo has been the leading Konpa band in Haiti for over three decades. They began as Los Incognitos of Pétionville in 1968, rapidly achieving their first taste of success, Haiti Radio's "Best Musical Group of the Year" award. At the end of 1970, they relocated to New York, as Tabou Combo, and with a new band head, Jean-Claude Jean. It was there their career took off, resulting in fans on all major continents of the globe.
The band's mega-hit, "New York City" sold a million copies in 1974, and their 1989 album, The Antilles, charted at number one in Europe and the Caribbean, winning them "Best Album for Haitian Dance Music" in 1991.
