Overview

edit

After the dissolution of Soley Ruz, Grup Latanier was created in November 1979. Under the leadership of the Joganah brothers (Ram Joganah & Nitish Joganah), the band released their first album in 1981. It quickly gained in popularity mainly because of the great success of the title song of the album. The song (Krapo Kriyé) has since featured in many of Grup Latanier's album releases.
