That of bringing the group to downtown Léogâne and defending the colors of Acul, their small village. However, the increasingly insane competition and the expenses that it implies made 2017 particularly difficult for these music lovers and chauvinists "Toro La Cou" a beautiful community of destinies the test of a lifetime of more and more expensive and a competition with the scent of extravagance.
