Tabou Combo

Tabou Combo is a Haitian compas band that was founded in 1968 in Pétion-Ville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince.

They dynamically sung their songs in both English, French, Spanish and in Haitian Creole.

"[2] In 1968, band founders Albert Jr. Chancy and Herman Nau, performed their first concert.

At first they named themselves, Los Incognitos because they were virtually unknown, but soon changed it in to "Tabou Combo" the following year to better fit Haitian culture.

[1][2] Tabou Combo's musical repertoire, is a mixture of vodou ceremonial rara drums, Haiti's French colonial kontradans and quadrilles, African soukous and funk from the American soul era, while commanding a dominant presence of compas.
