Note about "Sortie": It's a Caribbean-flavored piece. The only word in the song, "Mezanmi!", is a Haitian Creole word that literally means "My friends!" in French. It originates perhaps from one calling out his friends to witness or share something wonderful, surprising or even tragic. In this case, it's an expression of wonder.
