Kreutzer was the best Tambour (Conga) player in Haiti.
The band's music was popular among the higher classes of Haiti, reportedly including the family of François Duvalier.
In 1956, Sicot left the band to form another compas band, Latino. That same year, Nemours would rename Coronto as Enssemble Au Calbasse, and later as Ensemble Nemours Jean-Baptiste.
