Frantz Casseus: Haitian Dances (1954)
A lovely lovely departure through the supple Caribbean fingers of Casseus, Haitian Dances briefs the listener on some of the best folk works in Haiti's canon. The album feels like a soothing lullaby for a gone day and goes well with sunsets and hammocks or a smoke-filled lonely island bar evacuating its final patrons at three in the morning.
The last time we looked at an album from so long ago was when Elizabeth Cotton was nominated. What do you think, has this guy stood the test of time as well as she has ? Let`s hear your opinions.
