"Ce n’est pas ta couleur de peau qui définit ton attitude, tu peux être ce que tu veux, si tu arrives en estimant que tu dois nous civiliser, nous sauver de notre ignorance et que tu as plus à nous offrir qu’à apprendre de nous, que tu penses que c’est comme ça qu’il faut faire, c’est de l’infantilisation, c’est comme ça que je définis un zorey."

Les #créolistes aiment bien l'idée des marqueurs dans les #créoles, mais c'est vraiment un cas d'exoticiser le parler d'autrui. Un marqueur est peu souvent concevoir comme une catégorie lexicale, laissé vague, et les critères quand il est ainsi conçu sont sans motivations, tandis qu'une analyse semblable à celle de son lexificateur suffirait. DeGraff (2005) a averti des maux de cet exceptionnalisme #créole.

Gratien Midonet – Fô Ou Tchimbi – Decision (1989, Martinique)

As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 718 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh).

At the beginning of this project, after we had amassed a few hundred album titles for The List and started to see where there were gaps, a few of us went searching around for gems that we maybe weren’t all that familiar with, but knew had to be included. This was one such artist I stumbled on, our only artist representing the Caribbean island of Martinique (in the French West Indies/Antilles).

I had a hard time deciding which of Midonet’s four albums to include, and still think maybe I should have picked his first, Ven en Lévé (1979). The title track of that one seems to have been an anthem of sorts for Martinique’s independence movement, and was apparently banned from French radio for 2 years. But then the second and third albums – L’Inité (1980) and Bourg La Folie (1984; a soundtrack to a since lost film by Antillean director Benjamin Jules Rosette) – as well as this one are all excellent, all highlight Midonet’s Creole lyricism, and all have their particular charms. And so, I simply went with the one that I thought would perhaps entice people to go back and check out the rest of the discography.

Anyway, if descriptions like “tropical acid folk”, “cosmic reggae jazz”, “transcendental fusion”, and “psychedelic dance” pique your interest, I would suggest you take a listen through them all. A compilation is also available, for a quick survey. Whichever you choose, it’s a good decision.

Happy listening.

  1. The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “He flows like the big muddy, but that’s okay”, “Pour him over ice cream”, and “for a nice parfait”, following the earlier surveys that had “Well, I don’t want no Abba Zabba”/“Don’t want no Almond Joy”/“There ain’t nothing better”/“Suitable for this boy”, “Well, it’s the only thing that can pick me up”/“Better than a cup of gold”/“See only a chocolate Jesus”/“Can satisfy my soul”, and “When the weather gets rough”/“And it’s whiskey in the shade”/“It’s best to wrap your savior”/“Up in cellophane”. The second option was the winning selection, and the survey result was translated as picking an album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “him”, hidden in the word “Tchimbi”. ↩︎
The cover art is a surreal painting of a mountain landscape, with a dark sky taking up most of the space, the focus on a group of clouds shaped like a horse, with the moon peaking out above its head. A white band is at the top of the cover, containing the artist and album names in black font, with a red horizontal line separating them.
