Twoubadou (Haitian Creole) (pronounced TWOO-bah-doo) or Troubadour (French) music is a popular genre of guitar-based music from Haiti that has a long and important place in Haitian culture. The word comes from troubadour a medieval poet-musician who wrote and sang songs about courtly love. Like the troubadours of old the Haitian twoubadou is a singer-composer who accompanies himself on songs that tell about the bitterness and humor of love often using risqué or suggestive lyrics.
