Music - Haiti Popular songs

Four years after forming and the year of the release of their first album, Difficiles de Petion-Ville split after an argument between band-mates turned sour. The success of the album, Ce La Vie, which, in 1970, was the embodiment of the desires of the youth of the day, became almost overshadowed by the politics within the band. Robert Martino left the band to begin his own projects and was replaced. The band would go on to record other albums from 1970 to 1984.

Robert Martino had work with other acts such as Top Vice, Gypsies, and Misty Jean. He also worked with Reynold Nader 'Sinsin', Fabrice Rouzier and Jean-Louis Olson among others to revive Scorpio. Even outside of actually performing, the link with music remained. Lead vocalist, Henry Celestin kept busy working sound and lights for events.
