Sun is back, flowers bloom, birds sing in the tree in front of my house, oh yeah, it might as well be spring.
So, to warm your ears too, here is some caribbean vibe from another island than the usual : Haiti.
Aside to be one of the poorest places on earth with a recent history made of corruption, violence and bad luck, Haiti is home to a very rich culture and was, until the sixties and the election of Papa Doc, the first touristic destination in the caribbean which explains the multitude of bands that existed in that time.
I like the music the island produced in those years (60s and 70s), with that slight latin touch, perfect to warm up a party alongside a drink of Barbancourt 15 ans (best and almost only rum produced there, thank you Vanessa for introducing me to this one!).
For those who know it, this album has a flavor you may compare with the excellent Tumbele selection issued on the Soundway label few years ago : http://www.soundwayrecords.com/release/va---tumbl/tumbl-sndw017
So here it is, enjoy :
Hope the sun shine in your place too, have a nice day,
Peace,
Ben
