*KOMPA MAGAZINE: What can you tell us about the latest CUBANO SKAH-SHAH CD and why it's a must for the fans to get their hands on it?
JEAN MAX VALCOURT: "Well, first of all let me say it's a privilege to have had the opportunity of producing a whole album for a giant of the Haitian Konpa Music like Cubano. This idea was originally suggested by Yves Abel a couple years ago. I was hired to back up Cubano at Labor Day festival and this was when Shedly invited me to join the production, considering the fact that me and Shedly were already talking about joining our forces to start making some serious productions, because we were concerned about the music industry's future in a whole.
So the four of us (Cubano, Yves Abel, Shedly and myself) met in New York, discussed and planned the project, production, concept, etc... It was to be released in December, but due to Haiti's political turmoil at the time we figured the December released was a NO-NO... which gave us enough time to work a little more comfortably on the production and editing, modified, and fixed what was necessary. It was a bit pressured to me considering that i had to do all the sequences and keys on the album except "Rev an Mwen" on which I only did the solo.
This album took us at least 4 months to make, and It was all because several producers were working on it. This proves when you put talented minds together It does magic, and don't take too long to achieve. It was a great and enjoyable experience, the time in the studio with these fellas was priceless. Spending hours working with a legend like Cubano is all a producer can ask for. The man really deserves the title of "GodFather of Konpa". Cubano is just not a singer, he plays guitar, piano, accordion, harmonica... the man is a musical genius... epi li bay blag tou, lol.
Frankly I'm not the type of guy with the convincing words to have people buy the cd, but I know this "There are certain names, when you see them being part of a cd project, names like Cubano, Yves Abel, Ralph Conde, Dener Ceide, Danny P, Jean Riche, JP Rene, Shedly Abraham, Jean Max Valcourt, etc...You know what you're paying for... "QUALITY"
Thank you for this opportunity Patchouko...
