SEPTEN/TROPICANA: DID U KNOW THEY PLAYED TOGETHER BEFORE?

[kompamagazine]

A lot of people INCLUDING ME was/are under the impression that legendary rival CAP-HAITIEN groups SEPTENTRIONAL & TROPICANA have NEVER EVER shared the same stage before due to their unspoken rivalry.

GUESS WHAT? It looks like they did play together (TECHNICALLY) ONE TIME before.

Read our "DID YOU KNOW" entry on this issue per HERVE BASTIEN in both ENGLISH and FRENCH.

*ENGLISH (HERVE BASTIEN)

Did you know?

Septentrional and Tropicana, Haiti's two oldest big band orchestras, performed together for the first and last time in the parish hall of Cap-Haitien on december 1968. It was basically a fund raising for the victims of a terrible flood, which took place on november 22nd 1968 in Cap-Haitien. Mr. Raymond Piquion, the organizator, worked extremely hard in order to realize such an excellent and forgettable event.

The admission tickets were sold at 2 gourdes (Haitian money). The fund was given to Mr. Emile Auguste who hold a political position "Le prefet" at that time. That money were used to support the victims. It was an excellent initiative.

For memory and history

Le saviez-vous?

Les deux groupes musicaux les plus anciens dans l'industrie musicale Haitienne en l'occurrence "Septentrional et Tropicana" partageait le meme podium dans la salle paroissiale du Cap-Haitien en decembre 1968. L'orchestre tropicana a ete performe en premiere partie. Cette festivite a ete organisee par Mr. Raymond Piquion pour subvenir aux besoins des personnes victimes de l'inondation du 22 novembre 1968.

L'admission etait fixee a 2 gourdes et on a remis la recette a Mr. Emile Auguste, le prefet de la ville du Cap-Haitien a cette epoque, pour les suites necessaires.

Pour la memoire et pour l'histoire

Wow, I never knew that and I don't think my dad, whose an avid tropicana fan, knows that. I'm glad they were able to come together for such a reason. Thanks Pat and Mr. Bastien.

I knew about that before.
pou fund raising and that was the main and only reason.


Septentrional se preferans class Bourgeoise Cap Haitien, tankou famille ki mete ti moun yo lekol prive, MEre et frere, epi ki ginyin aliance avek FICA Football Club.

TROPICANA se preferans massssssssss la nan CAP HAITIEN, et ki ginyin lye avek AC-Football Club. bagay sa mwen konnin li tres bien.
