Diane


Lovely version of an old Haitian meringue, "Diane," previously recorded by legends such as Sidney Bechet and Bebo Valdes. Policard gives it a bossa twist, and the video fortunately gives us the name of the song's composer, Jean-Baptiste, who is explained as being chef de l'orchestre du palais national during the US Occupation.
