Review:
‘Andy Kershaw… has combined his expertise and enthusiasm to compile a fascinating album’ - (The Times)
Description:
BBC Radio 3's Andy Kershaw's love affair with Haiti treats us to The Rough Guide To The Music Of Haiti, taking in over fifty years of musical diversity from this unique Caribbean republic; once the Pearl Of The Antilles, now the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Haiti's vibrant music reflects its African roots driven by the rhythms of voodoo while building on this foundation with merengue from the Dominican Republic, French quadrilles and contradanses, Cuban son, American jazz, soul, funk and rap.
