The movement is on the march!

Mesaz in dan ban sanson

SPPF beware…the grassroots movement is being spearheaded by a ‘lazenes determinen’ spreading the positive message that change is on the horizon. They are doing this through the very creative medium of music. The local music scene has known an interesting evolution over the last few years. While the old red party clings on to the old boys such as good old Despilly to spread their message of ‘tenir pa large’, there are some young local talented artists singing about reality and the hardships & sufferings of today. These guys not only have the guts to keep the freedom torch burning but they are damn good at what they do. Several of these outfits are mushrooming all over the country. The latest to hit the scene is an act that tours the discos and fills the dancehalls with their vibes. Touching on issues that are relative to our sufferings in this day and age of economic collapse, these guys are sending a message home. With interesting stage names such as ‘Mersener’, ‘Maddy’, ‘Extra Big, ‘Red Eye, ‘Marcus Eye’, ‘Soul Jah ’- the ‘Pous sa Dife’ movement is on the march…’lo baz’! The main themes revolve around ‘la realite lavi’, sending a clear message that SPPF will not be allowed to play around anymore with this people’s weaknesses – ‘noun fatige, noun ganny ase’! ’La faya!’ ‘Brile, brile, brile’…

A catchy reggae melody that surely makes one get-up and dance! Almost at the tempo of a sexy Craig David number, this song is the number one track that is getting our ‘lazenes’ to feel the vibes! No wonder these guys are running sold out shows across the country. They are also very popular on Praslin where Pous sa Dife has taken root. These boys are on fire!

SAMPLE: Pri Lavi

E ounn fini war…

Refren:

Pri lavi, pe monnt pli o ki sunami, non zwe tanpi, dan en system koronpi

Anba zot polisi, toultan pare pou zot detri, zot leker y angli

Zot oule war nou marse anvil byen pi, pi

Pri lavi, pe monnt pli o ki sunami, non zwe tanpi, dan en system koronpi

Anba zot polisi, toultan pare pou zot detri, zot leker y angli

Zot oule war nou marse anvil byen pi

Vers 1:

Liber nou nwa ganny en pe ler, ya pli fasil pou nou leker

Zot konnen sa lavi y ser, rwa marz et lisifer

San konnen ki zot a pe fer, pare pou sakrifie nou lasser

Letan zot a fer linventer zot in fini pri dan lanfer

Get nou ban ser pe vann lekor, zis pou en boutey divin for

Pare pou fer monte zot kor, plis larzan ek plezir ankor

Avek lisifer nounn tom bakor, prostitye pou sinny lakor

Dir zot fer en pe plis zefor da lavi y vo plis ki lor…

Vers 2:

Dir mwan leker ki zot pou blanmen, dir nou lekor me zamnen

Sistem ki annan trou parey panyen, konekte ek sa ki anfanmen

Be nou de kote nou lafen, konmsi ou bezwen lager pou ou dipen

Bezwen mandyan konmsi ou lafen……..

Vers 3:

Fini war zot sa bann jackass, kantmem ou war mwan parey barabas

Get zot dan liniform zot inn met zot mas, get zot wadir zot pe al lasas

Yeah, Babylonian, zot le war nou laser kot y vinn karkas

Me rastafarai, til li danfon e met li lo sirfas

E noun fini war, ki….
