Ti Plume & Cie - The Man His Music

Review by Aria McLauchlan

Ti Plume & Cie's latest album, The Man His Music, is a delightful tribute to the legendary Haitian singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Georges Plonquitte. The album features a collection of Plonquitte's most famous songs, reimagined and reinterpreted by Ti Plume & Cie.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic track "La Vie," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Ti Plume & Cie's arrangements are fresh and modern, but they never lose sight of the original spirit of the songs. The band's tight musicianship and infectious energy make it impossible not to tap your feet and sing along.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ou Pati," a haunting ballad that showcases Ti Plume's soulful vocals. The band's stripped-down arrangement allows the emotion of the lyrics to shine through, making for a powerful and moving listening experience.

Throughout the album, Ti Plume & Cie demonstrate an impressive range, seamlessly transitioning from upbeat dance numbers to more contemplative and introspective tracks. The album's closing track, "Mesi Bon Dye," is a joyful celebration of life and music, leaving the listener with a sense of hope and optimism.
