" Here on Rasin Kreyol (which translates as "Creole Roots"), reigning queen of Haitian song Emeline Michel covers a lot of ground, writing songs that draw upon Haitan compas, twoubadou and rara as well as jazz, rock, pop, bossa nova and samba. Whichever direction the singer goes, her voice is clear and forceful as she dramatically imparts her political lyrics in Haitian Creole and French, offering up messages about AIDS, social justice and peace. She does this skill and class: Michel repeats the line "Tell me, where is peace?" to chilling effect on "Mon Rêve," where she's joined by background singers, flute and voodoo hand drums. At the other end of the spectrum, "Ban'm La Jwa" is uplifting with its driving calypso-jazz grooves. While the singer has released a handful of albums as imports over a 15-year career, Rasin Kreyol, her Times Square records debut, is a standout that should help U.S. audiences catch up with the French speaking world that already adores her.

La rivye mw te ye
I used to be a river flowing freely
Mtandedhxhxxjxjxnxjdjx ffjxjxdj
But now I am blocked and restrained by an obstacle in my path
Diyo ya woule bager la pou mwddufdjfjcjcjxjdidkdkdjfjffj
The wind blows and shakes the leaves of the tree, signaling to me that there is a bag waiting for me
Euddjdjejeidnrhrudiddjfjdjdbrhrbdvrbdkdkd
I follow the guidance of the wind and reach the bag, but it is guarded by obstacles and challenges
Mtandonw kantonad oh
I reach out and touch the bag even though it feels far away
Di yo ya woule baget pou mw
The wind still blows, encouraging me to continue onwards towards the bag
Sak few
Just do it
