My uber-informed aunt was telling me about musique engagé when this man's voice came on the Haitian segment of a radio show. His name, she told me was Manno Charlemagne and his music was categorized as such because its subject always concerned some type of political or social consciousness. It's got the bare essentials, a lone (beautiful) voice and an acoustic guitar, yet he manages to be very captivating. Reminds me a lot of conscious rap as far as content and subject material.
Are there present day musicians that have followed Manno's lead?
