Kalfou Danjere is an album by the Haitian band Boukman Eksperyans, released in 1992.[3][4] The title track, which translates to "Dangerous Crossroads", was banned in Haiti for its alleged subversive qualities.[5][6][7] "Nwel Inosan" was also banned.[8]
The album peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's World Albums chart,[9] spending 19 weeks on the chart.[10]
The album was produced by Eric Clermontet.[11] It was recorded at Audiotek Studios, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with some work accomplished at Studio Center in the United States.[7][12] Founder Lolo Beaubrun and his anthropologist wife traveled around Haiti to study the music of lakous, or hamlets; "Kalfou Danjere" incorporated four different rhythms picked up from lakous.[13]
