Biographical Record
Webert Sicot was a virtuoso saxophonist, arranger, and orchestra leader who was one of the central architects of modern Haitian urban dance music.
A former collaborator of Nemours Jean-Baptiste, Sicot launched his own ensemble in 1962, creating the sophisticated 'Cadence Rampa' rhythm, renowned for its intricate jazz-infused horn arrangements and driving tempo.
Sicot's dazzling musicianship toured extensively through Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Paris, laying direct foundations for the French Antillean Cadence and Zouk music explosions.
