Biography

La Compagnie Créole is a popular French pop band from French Guyana and the French West Indies, who started singing in the 1980s. 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 "Ça fait rire les oiseaux" is played on New Year's eve in Quebec francophone celebrations.
