Volo Volo de Boston
Open-knowledge reference entry
Volo Volo de Boston (or simply Volo Volo) is a Haitian compas band based in Boston, Massachusetts.
History
The band was first formed in 1969 under the name Haiti Combo. It was later changed to Volo Volo de Boston in 1972 with Eric Breneus as the vocalist approximately two years before the arrival of Ti Manno, Moise Desir, and Ricot Mazarin. In 1978, Chris Bazile and Fequiere Lucien joined the group as singers.
The group became an international success instantly after the release of their first album entitled Caressé, which earned them the title "Lover's Band" during the 70–90s while touring through Haiti, France and the French West Indies (Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guiana), Panama, Canada and across the United States where they were well received.

Why this record matters
“Volo Volo de Boston” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Volo, Boston and Open-knowledge provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20563672. VIAF identifies the subject as 159582710. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1972 and 1978.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
