Pancocojams Editor's Note:
I learned about the Haitian music group CaRiMi as a result of reading this Oct. 17, 2022 online article https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/singer-mikaben-dead-41-collapsing-125649322.html about popular Haitian singer Mikaben collapsing and dying on stage in Paris during his performance at a CaRiMi concert . RIP Mikaben. My condolences to his family, friends, and worldwide fans.

INFORMATION ABOUT CARIMI
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carimi
"Carimi (often styled as CaRiMi) was a popular Haitian compas band assembled in New York City in 2001.[1]
[…]
[They] created the name for their band by the taking the first two letters of
their first names Carlo Vieux, Richard Cavé and Mikael Guirand; atlas, Carimi
was born.[3]
Hours and hours at the studio in the hopes of creating a new sound, one that was uncommon in the music industry at the time, the band found themselves putting on paper some profound, socially shared lyrics that encompassed the disorders of their native land. Haiti Bang, Bang, was released in the summer of 2001. Instantly, Carimi became a household name. They are known as one of the first younger generation digital bands to put out music that reflected upon the political pressures and the deteriorating security of Haiti. They had mass appeal to the Haitian diaspora who fled the country and through their allure lyrically, musically and of course sex appeal for the ladies, Carimi has thrived throughout the years.[4]
In 2016 the singer Mickael Guirand decided to quit the band due to personal issues. The rest of the founding members decided to end their long journey and have gone on separate musical expeditions. In 2022 the band return for a 20th anniversary one day tour in Paris where they'll perform for the first time since the break up in 2016."

FBI, DEA, my friend, my friend, my friend
Ho, ho
FBI, DEA, my friend, my friend, my friend
I haven't seen him in two years
My country is changing color
It's been two years since I left him
His face marked misery
We prefer to close my eyes
Pretend that will change
We prefer to close my eyes
Say our children will not either
[Chorus]
May friend
A, A, A, A, A, A
My Haiti, oh
A, A, A, A, A, A
What do you think it is?
Tell me what will be done
To change people's mentality
My country is in danger
No one decides to step on your feet
Whoa, whoa, whoa
We prefer to close my eyes
Pretend that will change
We prefer to close my eyes
Say our children will not come back
[Chorus]
May friend
A, A, A, A, A, A
My Haiti, oh
