Yvon (Kapi) André
One of the pioneers of the Mini-Jazz era, 1960's, Kapi, beyond his musical versatility remains unquestionably the professional ”gongiste-percussioniste” of the Tabou Combo Super-Star. Few people know about Kapi being the author of the musical score for one of the first Ayitian films by Camille-David Duchatelier & Lesly Vilfort’s "Carline" (Dutchvil 1984)

Exumé is renowned for his overstepping of our traditional ‘Court-Métrage” films as have done the three pioneers Bob Lemoine, Rasoul Labuchin, and Camille-David Duchatelier. He is the first successful Ayitian movie-maker to have filmed a full length movie and, for the first time, introduced Ayitian films inside the regular Movie-House and on the Silver-Screen, "Lavi Ayisyen Nan Nouyòk:" Lead actors Shiley Anilus and Bob Lapierre (1984).
