Sicot must have known that he did not have a winner with Kadans Ranpa since he did not insist on challenging Nemours very long. Even as early as the 1957, he was seen performing in public with Nemours. While the populace thought that they were each other’s enemies, Nemours and Webert were socializing. André Dorismond and Gary French, singers for Sicot’s orchestra were friends with Louis Lahens and Jean-Claude Félix (aka Ti Jean-Claude), singers for Nemours. When Haitians began to emigrate to the US in the early seventies, the fame of Kadans Rampa suddenly dwindled because most of its supporters had left Haiti. Eventually, Webert Sicot traveled to New York and continued to play there, but Kadans Ranpa’s success in Haiti was short-lived.
As early as 1962 the Sicot Brothers from Haiti would frequently tour the French Islands of [[Martinique]] and [[Guadeloupe]] to spread the seed of [[kadans|CADENCE]], a Haitian Méringue. There has been one and only one cadence. Haitian cadance bands would often stay for up to six months in these Islands. Prior to their coming Martinique and Guadeloupe were playing [[mazurka]], [[biguine]], [[quadrille]] and other foreign styles. In addtition to the Sicot brothers, almost all existing Haitian compas bands have toured in these Islands that have since adopted the music and the dance of the Meringue. Haitian musician and composer Michel Desgrottes had also an influence in developing music in the French Antilles. [[Exile One]], [[Grammacks]], [[Les Leopards]], [[la Perfecta]], [[Kassav]]...are all cadence/compas or Méringue bands. Exile One of [[Dominica]] promoted the [[Cadence-lypso]] that was to be a fusion of [[calypso music|calypso]] and cadence, the two most influential styles of the Caribbean, but most of its hits are cadence.
