BONNE ANNÉE 2013 MES AMIS ! Posted by on Dec 31, 2012 in Music, Vocabulary

Only a few hours before we enter the new year 2013!

That’s why I want to wish UNE TRÈS BONNE ANNÉE 2013 À VOUS TOUS, MES AMIS ! ! !

Where will you be celebrating tonight?

Just tell us!

Some of us who are really lucky are now down at the French Caribbean!

What countries are part of it, you may ask?

These are la Guadeloupela Martiniquela Guyane (today’s featured group, “la Compagnie Créole“, hail for the most part from these three), in addition to la DominiqueSaint-Barthélemy, Sainte LucieSaint Martin, and, finally Haiti.

And now we leave you in good company, namely la Compagnie Créole, and tell you: See you l’année prochaine (next year)!
