Frantz Courtois Alias "Fanfan" one of the great names of Haitian music suddenly left us Tuesday, January 8 at the age of 70, following a serious fall, followed by post-operative complications.

Musician by excellence, Frantz occupied an important place in the gallery of the musicians of the 60s and 70s. He directed his orchestra and the Big Band Grand Orchester of Fanfan Courtois and animated with passion for several years, the Métro Rétro program on Radio Métropole.
