Biography
An enigmatic guitarist and singer, Coupé Cloué acquired this nickname (translated as “kickout”) from his prowess over the soccer field. He’s well-known, or rather notorious, for his lyrics filled with sexual double-entendres, lengthy “raps” which range from risqué to intimate, and public satire. His “compas mamba” (peanut compas) appear very African, using a electric guitar style resembling Western world African highlife and the usage of Cuban bongo drums and bamboo pipes used sticks as well as the regular conga and drum package. Showing up on many record covers putting on African clothes, Coupé Cloué, along with his shaved mind, cuts a stunning figure. This might explain why he was presented with the name “Le Roi” (the ruler) when he performed within the Ivory Coastline, Western Africa, in 1975. Of all electric Caribbean rings, Coupé Cloué gets the most powerful African sound, which ultimately shows the effectiveness of his origins, for he statements he never noticed African music before his 1975 trip. Boy Haiti: Greatest of Coupe Cloue premiered in 1999 by Arcade.
