“Bons Baisers de Fort-de-France” is a sunny Christmas postcard from Martinique, sent by the joyful voices of La Compagnie Créole. Instead of snowy fields and crackling fireplaces, the song paints a picture of warm Caribbean nights where doors stay open, mango trees wear the decorations, and everyone is invited to sing along. The repeated line “Ce soir on éteint la télé” (Tonight we turn off the TV) reminds us to step away from screens and share real-life music, laughter, and community spirit.
At its heart, the tune celebrates the idea that Christmas magic is not tied to sleighs, chimneys, or pine trees. Even without snow or Santa’s traditional sleigh, there are gifts for everyone: the gifts of togetherness, hospitality, and song. By blending catchy rhythms with feel-good lyrics, La Compagnie Créole shows that the warmth of human connection can outshine any tropical heat, making this track an irresistible anthem for celebrating Christmas anywhere in the world.
