HAPPY 48TH ANNIVERSARY TO TROPICANA!!

Tropicana has just celebrated their forty eight years of anniversary this August 15, 2011. The traditional concert of birthday did not take place this year because of the incident to the cathedral of Cape-Haitian.


Among the former musicians, the singer Parisien Fils-Aime is perhaps most active in this orchestra which was not popular in its own birthplace in the Sixties and Seventies. Moreover, the majority of the musicians who made party of the band at that time had come from Artibonite, particularly of the town of Saint-Marc.
It is necessary to pay homage to Joseph (Joe) Solon, at the time commentator with radio MBC, which at the end of the Seventies made a good work by imposing this orchestra initially on its city, Gonaïves, and then in Port-au-Prince with compositions like “Zoklo”, “Ti zo”, “Lolote”, etc The radio programs of the fans through the country ensured the success of the orchestra by facilitating the diffusion of the compositions of the band.
The “Tropic Club” of Port-au-Prince, oldest, of the Cape-Haitian, Léogane, Cayes, Saint-Marc, etc, knew to collect the attention of the audience at the hours of diffusion. The respect of its fans, his professionalism and the discipline which reigns there, constitute the force of this orchestra and explain its success partly. The fans of Tropicana are always faithful and never miss an occasion to show their attachment with the “international gold Rocket”.
