Fanatik System Band yo, Now I know who "Ti Jean Marassa" is...

If you listen to System Band, you will always hear Isnard Douby shout "Ti Jean Marassa". I didn't know who or what Jean Marassa was until today.

 

Someone even told me one day that "Douby sèvi lwa, Tijan Marassa se Lwa Douby"... No Kidding!

 

In a 2001 interview with Boyo Magazine, Isnard Douby was asked "Who is Jean Marassa?"

 

To my surprise Jean is a religious fan of system band, a "Fanatique Incoditionnel" Douby calls him.

 

Jean only parties with System Band, and Jean likes to be called Jean Marassa. "When the band travels, " Douby says, "He travels with us!".

 

Mesye! Pèp Ayisyen sa-a, ala pèp konesè papa! Tout "YO DI" se B.S.
