Summary

A 20-second clip of RAM's single "Fèy". "Fèy" is a traditional Vodou folk song of Haiti. RAM first performed their version of the song on the Champs du Mars during the 1992 Carnival celebration in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Considered an anthem of support for exiled President Jean Bertrand Aristide, the song was banned in Haiti by military authority from 1992 to 1994. This recording of the song is from RAM's first album, Aïbobo, released in 1996 by Margaritaville Records.
