Yves Abel Stole "509 Sou Baz li"
Yves Abel, ex bassist of Tabou Combo who now plays with Awoze and Les Freres Dejean stole one of 509 best music that was supposed to be on the band's up-coming new album. This has been a routine in the haitian music industry where many artists have been ruined by their peers for stealing their art work. But, this time is a big shock for the musicians because of the caliber of the stealer. On one hand, it sucks, because now 509 favorite song is ruined. The song in question is titled "509 sou baz li" was composed by Gibson Balthazar, written by DJumay and was sequenced by Harold (Ti Harold) Saint Louis. What most people don't understand, however, is that those original artists had sampled the song and that DJumay was already adding the vocals on it. To the biggest surprise, Yves Abel has stolen the "509 sou baz li" and gave it to Les Freres Dejean as his song with the credit under his name and a new title "Freres Dejean sou Baz li". With The Voice Of Alex Lavaud as they lead singer. The Haitian Music Industry has been in a nasty habit that has made some people the recipient of royalties of stolen work, and that has caused damages in the field. Yves Abel is a too good musician to be involved in a such complete fraud and thief with a career that's could turn a face as it is disgraceful. With all the talent Abel has in the music business, for him to do this
thieving stupidity, while deceitfully bragging he is the author of "509 sou baz li", changing it to " Freres Dejan nan baz li" is to spit in the face of true writers everywhere in th haitian music business that work hard to come up with something original. when confronted by the 509 champ Yve said "though he recorded the song he didnt put it out it was the drummer whom got mad for not playing on the track and took it to "paz" a local dj from a undergrown radio station" on the same breath he also said he had already called the dj to tell him not to play the track". Yves Abel, like many others that are stealing the work of their fellow musicians is an embarrassment that needs to go sit down. the matter is in legal proceeding now and Yve Abel was giving 72 hours to remove the song from all media and social media.
