      Jeff Jo is the one with the black, lacy, “soukouyan” hat… if you know what I mean. Maybe he was singing the song, “Mwen tjenbe on soukouyan” at the time of the photo.

        Look at the tam, the beret, the track-suit pants and of course the talon-ho!! Those were the days you went for an all-night party for EC $5.00, and whole night is sweet cadence music from the Cadence Greats, and a bit of Bob Marley reggae to add a little variety. Any DNO Photo-of-The-Day Readers were at that Cadence Spectacular show just before Independence 1978?
