this is the wonderful album never known Emeline will always be the only haitian woman star ever.
Outstanding sound and vocal abilities. Magnific.
author: NormaI am from the Caribbean, Virgin Islands. Sister Island to Haiti. I don't understand creole but I do overstand the sincere sound of my african ancestors eminating from a voice of consciousness. I listen to this cd all the time. My daughters, 14 and 4 years, are always in good spirits when serenaded by Emeline's voice. Balance.

Emeline can really sing. We were singing and dancing along with the music!
author: BabiWell, my mom has often played Emeline Michel but I had no Haitian musical recordings of my own. After jonesing for some Haitian music, I decided to get The Very Best of Emeline Michel and was I surprised by the variety of music she sang. It was good music that even a child could listen to and it sounded wonderful. Plus the CD came quickly and was of excellent quality.
Very happy w/this CD.

"Emeline se tankou yon vvwa ki soti nan montay ki vin pote lespwa "
what a voice!
author: Karen BThis is a great compilation of Haiti's queen of Creole song's career up until 1993. It is filled with songs that will make you dance like "A.K.I.K.O," "Flanm", and "L'odeur de ma terre." But also you can see how versatile her vocal range is by the songs, "Le poisson de nuage," "Ayiti peyi soley," and "Yvon fi kon Magali." This compilation includes beautiful love songs, as well as songs of coming together; finding good in the worst of circumstances("Plezi Mize"). I also suggest you get her latest release, Cordes et Ame.
Emeline rocks
author: Rasin GangaThis cd is one of the best compilation of songs ever found on one album. From her wonderful voice to her different style of song made this a must have to any music lover. I recommend this masterpiece wholeheartedly.
