VINYL HAITI GOES LATIN [VINYL]

Popis - HAITI GOES LATIN [VINYL]:
During the seventies, some bands that played Haitian compas
integrated salsa and Latin jazz into their repertoire. Cuban
music, which was the foundation of New York salsa, itself was
based on rhythms from Haiti at the end of 18th century. 'Haiti
Goes Latin' presents a selection of these songs. Two pieces of
compas, with funky inflections and a troubadour piece, complete
the selection. This sensual and elegant music, with its lush
instrumental sections, was recorded in New York, Miami and in
Haiti's famous Audiotek studio. The selection covers a period
spanning 1976 to 1984. Includes an 8-page booklet.
