Music of Haiti

Here's an awesome record of traditional Haitian music from the vast vinyl reserves of the UM music library. This one is from 1952  on the Ethnic Folkways label (FE 4432) and was recorded by Harold Courlander. The first side (featured here) features the traditional group Ayida Group of Port-au-Prince.
Tracks:
Cé Moin Ayida (Zépaule Dance)
Ayida Déesse Arc En Ciel (Mahi Dance)
Ayida Pas Nan Betise (Pétro Dance)
Vive Le Roi (Juba Dance)
Mambo Ayida (Congo Dance)
Legba Aguator (Nago Dance)

Enjoy!
