Help me identify a song which appears on this webpage from French Guiana. The words Indien Yanomami appears below the music player, but I'm not sure if there's any connection with the song.

I think it might be a song by the Spoity Boys, from French Guiana. I can't help with the name of the song.

Here's some video (narrated in French) about their visit to Brazil.

I've just sent an e-mail to the person who's in charge of the website, and unfortunately, I had an automatic reply : that person is absent until the 21st of february. There's another email, but I'm not sure that the other person will know. I'll get back to you.

I just downloaded the MP3 used in the page. The title tag for the track in the MP3 is 'Spoitie boys'. The artist tag is 'Guyane' (which, obviously, is just French for Guiana).

Response by poster: The vocals do have some resemblance to Spoity Boys. Interesting.

@nicolin, Thanks for trying to track it down. I'm hopeless with french.

Yes, that definitely sounds like Spoity Boys.

The "Indien Yanomami" is the caption for the drawing directly below, which depicts a Yanomami man in traditional warpaint.
