One of the earliest songs of RAM and was even a soundtrack to the 1993 Tom Hanks' movie "Philadelphia".
The Ibo or Igbo is an ethnic group in West Africa. In Haitian vodou, it is a "nation" honored and recognized within the practice that some Haitians trace their ancestry to. It is said the song (rhythm) is of the Igbo people who lived in Elele, Nigeria and were transported to Haiti as slaves. Hence the title "Ibo lele" and the hommage.
Background: RAM (stands for the initial of its founder) is one of the most prominent vodou-themed bands in Rasin (roots) music. Created in 1990 by Richard A. Morse (mother is Emerante de Pradines, Haitian folklore dancer and singer) who moved to Port-au-Prince, seeking to explore Haitian and Caribbean music, RAM is known for its interesting fusion of traditional music and rock n' roll. As beloved as they are and known for being the people's voice, the group has survived kidnapping threats, assissination threats because of their tendency to speak out against government regimes in their music.
Richard, and his wife Lunise are the group's lead singers.
