THE CORRECT ANSWER: Les Shleu-Shleu

The Shleu-Shleu, formed in 1965 in the Bas-Peu-de-Chose neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, pioneered the "mini-jazz" movement that swept through Haiti in the 1960s and 70s. Under the leadership of Tony Moïse, the group brought a lighter, more electric structure to the musical ensembles of the time. Their song "Ti gason" became a timeless anthem, crossing oceans to influence other Caribbean music. The Shleu-Shleu were renowned for their elegance, both in their attire and their music, and their ability to get crowds dancing with simple yet effective brass arrangements. Many talented musicians passed through this group before going on to found other famous bands in the diaspora. Even today, Les Shleu-Shleu are cited as one of the essential foundations upon which the modern compass industry rests, symbolizing an era of great creative effervescence.
