La Compagnie Créole is a popular 1980s Guyanese and Caribbean French-speaking pop band, best-known for "C'est bon pour le moral" (1983).
[edit]
Overview
They originally started singing in Creole but quickly adopted French as their main language. They are known mostly for the feel-good and happy-go-lucky quality reverberating in all of their songs: popular themes and imagery include colorful rainbows, sunshine, music and harmless animals as a positive morale booster all set to Caribbean rhythms. Many of their records have been produced by Daniel Vangarde. Their single "Ca fait rire les oiseau" is played on New Year's eve in Quebec francophone celebrations.
