English Translation:
Turn up the fire! We are going to eat tchaka!
Turn up the fire, stir up the corn, don’t forget the salt pork,
We are going to eat a delicious tchaka.
We are going to cook up a mind-blowing stew.
At the sound of the three drums, everyone yells out hurray.
If we join together we can all move forward.
Let us enmesh in lovely harmony
A delicious homemade stew, a musical tchaka.
It’s a delicious homemade stew, a national tchaka,
A delicious homemade stew…
Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire!
*Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday are amazing.
Roots music, oh yes, that’s good stuff.
Let’s stick together; side by side we can move forward.
Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire! The tchaka is cooking!
*Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron…
These are the rhythms of our roots.
We danced *Kalinda and we sang Rabòday,
Heads together, with love, let us do great things.
Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire!
We proclaimed hope and we sang of peace,
So that the light of justice spreads throughout the earth.
We’ll keep on singing…
We’ll keep on singing to make life more beautiful!
In justice and in love, let’s eat a delicious tchaka!
Amen!
Let’s eat a delicious tchaka!

Traducción al Español:
Suban el fuego! Vamos a comer tchaka!
Suban el fuego, revuelvan el maíz, no se olviden de salar el cerdo.
Vamos a comer un delicioso tchaka!
Vamos a cocinar un guiso exorbitante.
Cuando suenen los tres tambores, todos gritan hurra.
Si nos unimos podemos ir todos hacia adelante.
Reunámonos en encantadora armonía
Un delicioso guiso casero, un tchaka musical.
Es un delicioso guiso casero,un tchaka nacional,
Un delicioso guiso casero…
Suban el fuego! Suban el fuego!
*Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday son maravillosos.
Música de las raíaes, oh si, es genial.
Mantengamos juntos; lado a lado podemos avanzar.
Suban el fuego! Suban el fuego! El tchaka se está cocinando!
*Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron…
Estos son los ritmos de nuestras raíces.
Bailamos *Kalinda y cantamos Rabòday.
Unamos nuestras mentes, con amor, y hagamos grandes cosas.
Suban el fuego! Suban el fuego!
Proclamamos la esperanza y cantamos por la paz,
para que la luz de la justicia se desparrame por toda la tierra.
Seguiremos cantando…
Seguiremos cantando para hacer la vida más hermosa.
En la justicia y el amor, comamos un delicioso tchaka!
Amen!
Comamos un delicioso tchaka!

Chofe dife! Nou pral manje tchaka!
Chofe dife, brase mayi, pa bliye tisale,
Nou pral manje yon bon tchaka.
Nou pral voye monte yon bouyon tèt chaje.
Twa tanbou yo frape, tout moun rele anmwe.
An nou pote kole pou nou tout ka vanse.
An nou makonnen ansanm nan yon bèl amoni
Yon bon bouyon lakay, yon tchaka mizikal.
Se yon bon bouyon lakay, yon tchaka nasyonal,
Se yon bon bouyon lakay…
Chofe dife! Chofe dife!
Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday se gwo koze.
Mizik lakay, o wi se bèl bagay.
Pote kole; kòtakòt n’ape vanse.
Chofe dife, chofe dife, tchaka ape monte!
Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron...
Mizik sa yo se konpa lakay.
Nou danse Kalinda, nou chante Rabòday,
Tèt ansanm, nan renmen, an nou fè bèl bagay.
Chofe dife! Chofe dife!
Nou proklame lespwa e nou chante lapè,
Pou limyè la jistis blayi sou tout latè.
N’ap kontinye chante…
N’ap kontinye chante pou fè lavi pi bèl!
Nan jistis, nan renmen, an nou manje yon bon tchaka!
Ayibobo!
An’n manje yon bon tchaka!

singing this in a choir is an experience larger than life itself
Singing in a big choir in general is in general
Why is this litterally THE BEST CHOIR SONG EVER! So much emotion swimming in the different complex harmonies and rhythms!!!!!
Because it's AYISYEN ❤❤🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Yes I do get this excited about soup and, after performing this with my all state choir senior year, it was a lot of fun walking to the local chickfila as a vast ocean of soup and music lovers
I was part of the Nebraska all-state choir that sang this and this was easily the best song I've ever sang in my life.
DIEHARD_100 I second that. I was in it along with you!
It's so awesome to hear that! You guys were so great to work with.
I'm singing it in two months in the Illinois all-state choir and you're making me really excited!
@@shanefrantz818 Hey me too!
@@PepperonibeatsZombie HEY ME TOO TENOR II BOI
Noooooo. I spent my blood sweat and tears into this difficult peace of work, just to find out. They're singing about soup. >:(
hahaha well there’s a little more to it than just making that stew... :)
@@sydneyguillaume that smile was so ominous, am I right to be scared
@@lizzle2cents289 haha not at all!
Sung this at Southern ACDA this year! Thank you for such an amazing experience and such a great song.
Whew. What a workout.
hahaha it was a workout to write it too! :)
Can't wait to sing it, though. Getting the pronunciation down will probably be the hardest part! :)
I absolutely LOVE this song! I can never get enough of it. My school choir is singing it this year and I had to go ahead of the class because I couldn't stand not knowing all of it. This is by far my favorite choir song.
Wow! That’s really awesome to know! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. It’s encouraging that’s for sure! Which part do you sing, and which school?
@@sydneyguillaume I sing tenor and I go to a school in Virginia
3:53 Se lè a mirak an ap koumanse. Tèlman fo, kè mwen sotè. Who did compose all these wonder of god, who wrote the text and the music. I'm deeply stunned. I wakes the MOST INNER core of my sole. Pa jam tande anyen tèlman bon nèt anpil anpil. Mezanmi WOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@rogercherlin Mwen kontan wè jan ou apresye mizik la :) se mwen ki ekri mizik la e se papa m Gabriel T. Guillaume ki ekri paròl yo. Nou konpoze anpil mizik pou koral ansanm…
mèsi anpil!
@@sydneyguillaume Map diw meci anpil. Se tankou Bondye ap pale avè m
@@sydneyguillaume Sa k ap pase nan peyi nou an ap kraze kè m. Men, kèlkeswa sa k ap pase. Mwen se ayisyen natif natal. Mwen fyè se Ayitien mwen ye!

Whenever I hear this song, I always describe it as a rainbow. It's just such a colorful piece of joy and celebration. I first sang this at a Florida All-State, and it always brightens up my day whenever I hear it!!
So great to read that, Vicky - - the power of music! :)
Looks like TMEA ALL STATE SMALL CHOIR IS SINGING THIS, Syd. Congrats
Thank you, Brandon! It’s a great honor! 🙏🏾
i’m terrified, but i’m excited at the same time if that makes sense
Florida All State 2020. Had an absolutely wonderful time, best choir event I've ever had, one of the best moments in my life. Best 18th birthday I could ask for. Sydney, if you read this, thank you so much for making this! It brought so much unity and joy to us all, and I'm sure it has for all the others. We figured out how to sing measure 130, don't worry, your call helped us out :)
Nutik Wulf Aw!! Happy birthday!! And thank you for letting me know. I got to see a little clip of the choir having a blast singing it during rehearsal - it was awesome! You guys rock!!
Nutik Wulf I just posted that rehearsal video on Instagram! :)
#TchakaSG
yoooo I was there too
I've sang this master pieces on several different occasion and I can say honestly every time I sing it I fall in love with it over and over again! This is a amazing piece and I just want to say thank you for bringing this into the world! The message is Strong and I love how something so simple as soup can bring people together in love and unity. Thank you for this.
orestes cooper Aw. thank you for your kind words!
sang this this morning at all-state!!! by far the most fun piece in the set
Aw! Can’t wait to hear it! :)

My school did this sophomore year and got our first 1 at our district music contest in a hot minute and this song was easily our favorite. Junior year, our seniors ahead of us who had grown up with our choir director from their freshman year were graduating and on one of their last days while we cleaned up/prepared music for other concerts, we broke out into Tchaka, almost without his direction, and sang it pretty well for not singing it for a whole year at that time.
For the next two years, whoever was a part of the ensemble that sang Tchaka, we at least sang up to part G I believe at any given time. 😂😭 take me back!
working on this song again, but as a percussionist instead of a vocalist this time, since i last did it in 2019/2020!! i also made tchaka for my choir and you to try, & it was truly one of the most memorable (and delicious) experiences i’ve had in choir :)
god this makes me miss all state
I sang this in 2019 for Villa Park High School's Madrigals choir. I still remember when you came and visited our class and talked to us about our performance. Thank you for making such an amazing communal piece of music, and thank you so much for making it so much gosh dang fun to sing!
Awe! My pleasure!! 😁 thank you for your kind words :)
#Florida Allstate 2020
Glorbutron Smith yessss
Fmea 2020 All state gang rise up!!!
Sheridoodle Yesss!! Good luck to you guys!! I hope we all get in!
Yep I’m gonna fail at the test 👍🏻 due to this song
Charis Davis just use this video and slow it down and really work on it!! I have faith in you, we will all get in!!
We're singing this in choir and it's such a cool piece and so fun to sing as a group!
It’s been over a year since I’ve sang this at ILMEA and I still come back to it so often, I even wrote my final analysis on this piece for my final semester in high school. This piece is truly special.
Thanks so much, Emma! 🙏🏾
It would be really cool to read your analysis on it if you don’t mind sending it to my email (sydney@sydneyguillaume.com).
Best choir song forever
As a sophomore in high school, I had the privilege of being conducted by Mr. Guillaume at SCSU's Big Sing event in 2020, which ended up being the last choir I sang in right before the pandemic.
This year, as a freshman in college, I decided to join a choir again, and was rightfully excited to learn we would be singing Tchaka.
I should go to bed since it's past midnight, but that technically means we're performing this song today! I'm so excited! Thanks for making your music that is groovy with a good message!
I remember that Big Sing event very well - it was also one of my last pre-pandemic concerts which I cherished very much!
Have a meaningful performance today!!
@@sydneyguillaume Thanks! It went great!
I'm part of the Robinson Singers in Virginia and we are performing this song later on in the year and it is easily the most challenging song I have ever had to learn but it is my favorite
Jack Donovan - so great to hear that! :)
Hey Sydney, my name is Keith Sheppard. I just wanted to thank you for this piece! I am a tenor 2 in the PHS A Capella Choir, and this was the highlight of the competition for us. I remember that when we practiced it in class Mrs. McClain would put on a really cool beat (to keep tempo) and we'd dance to it while singing. Sometimes we'd be too busy dancing to actually focus on pure vowels and the likes lol. This was an awesome song to perform, and I wanted to commend you and your father for composing it. God bless!
Keith the Sheep wow Keith! Really great to read your comment. Thanks so much for sharing that with me!
no problem, take care sir!
wow. All State is this Thursday. cant wait to sing this song but man is it crazy! its gonna be fun! awesome stuff
johnnywaffles23 omg see you there
Lizard Wizard who are you lol
johnnywaffles23 just someone in the all state chorus lmao
GET THIS MAN A SHIELD
Novin Nekoui why a shield?
Sydney Guillaume black panther reference. great song btw
Novin Nekoui ah! Got it! Thank you! :) 🙏🏾
im auditioning for the ssaa florida choir but the concert choir has such amazing songs wow
They're harder than you'd think... :x
3:00 he's doing it again.
In addition it seems the whole part before 3:53 was sort of preparing the path for the final glory, so great. It was composed this way on purpose!
This recording is sang by my school’s rival school! I go to san juan hills and we got to work with you last year and it was awesome! We just heard it at a festival and we all miss it!
Congrats! Amazing! 🎶
ferco music thank you!!
It's so good.. part J is just amazing.
This is incredible!
ilmea all state gang
What part do you sing?
I'm a Tenor 2 from District 9 :)

@@ohhellfire2728 Oooh that's cool. My name is Shane feel free to talk to me when the time comes.
I listen to this song on a regular basis after IMEC... used it to hype myself up to lead my choir in a Kim Adams-style warmup the other day
Like starting 2:09, then here it goes 2:21 tout bay dou, zanj lan ak zèl. Woy
Beautiful!
Thank you! :)
Awesome, wonderfull, amazing, splendid work.
Thanks so much, Juan! :)
I had to sing this as one of my all state audition songs last year and in the middle of this song, my music stand fell over and I got disqualified and I was so upset because Tchaka was my favorite piece out of all our songs and I didn't get to sing it :(
Awe! Hopefully you'll get to perform it one day with another choir
This is my song !
Ari Sealy FL All State 2020?? :)
Quand je vais faire mon restaurant je vais présenter Tchaka Hayitien mais la façon chef et je vais changer le nom.
Fantastic piece :)
I love black panther
