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)
