about

“Minuit” is a village song from Guinea in West Africa. Paul Winter first heard it in the Ballets Africaines in 1966, and it’s been part of his life ever since. Paul has a special affection for “Minuit,” not just for its exquisite simple beauty, but because it taught Paul that it was ok for him to sing. For in village music, just as in a wolf pack, everybody sings. This song has been the finale of their Winter Solstice Celebration every year since they began in 1980. The original words are from the French: “Minuit, s’amuse” (Midnight amuses herself).
