On my honeymoon in St. Lucia, I kept hearing the locals say this word over and over. Finally, I asked someone what that word means. Apparently, sakapfet essentially means, “What’s up?” So I had to write a tune with that as the title. In the studio, I decided at the last minute that I’d play a solo introduction, and the rest of the tune turned out to be I think the best representation of the band’s experience performing as a group.
