SAGBOHAN: "Zoun Min Ti Gbo" (1983)


"Zoun Min Ti Gbo" is  a funeral song usually sung by Sagbohan during burials. After Paris tragedy, he hesitated to come for his concert but his son, Raimi, and the band pushed Sagbohan to honor his coming. I think this beautiful song recorded in 1983 reflects our mood, here in Paris.



"Zoun Min Ti Gbo" est un morceau funéraire que Sagbohan chante pour les enterrements. Après la tragédie de Paris, il a hésité à venir en concert dans la capitale française, mais son fils Raimi et l'orchestre l'ont pousser à honorer sa venue. Je pense que ce sublime morceau enregistré en 1983 correspond à notre humeur, ici, à Paris.

Indeed a nice song. But why didn't you share the whole record and refer to

them. The record you took the song off is namend "Le choc des 3 (three)
etoiles and not the choc de 1 (one) etoile. I am sure the publishers knew
why they had choosen this name leveling all 3 musicians equal but not another,
praising Sagbohan adding featured by ....
