Singer Alan Cave On Life, Haiti, Zin and Making Timeless Music
In this episode of ALO, we chatted “Behind The Music” with legendary Haitian singer Alan Cave.
Alan Cavé (born in New York City, is a Haitian-American lead singer of the legendary (kompa) band Zin. Cavé's spent most of his adolescent years in Haiti.
In 1987, he met with Alex Abellard and Eddy Saint-Vil to audition, and Cavé was quickly signed for the group Zin. The group released their first album, "O Pa", in 1989. More than two decades later, Zin's remain popular, with sweet ballads and traditional Haitian kompa grooves.
Cavé is a prolific songwriter, with a catalog of songs and unreleased recordings in English, French, and Kreyol. Cavé has collaborated with some known kompa artists. In 2001 he launched his first solo album, Se Pa Pou Dat, which was an enormous success. This album seems to transcend barriers of language and cultural sound, with its melodies popular in Japan, Africa, and South America, even though listeners may not understand the words.
