Issa El Saieh et Son Orchestre


Came across some lovely recordings by Issa El Saieh and His Orchestra of Haitian music in a jazz or big band vein. In addition to the classic "Carolina Cao," Issa El Saieh's group also recorded "Ma Brune," "Panama m tombe," and a hot number called "Ti Mama." "Ma Brune" is an excellent example of a Haitian song translated and recorded recorded by Sonora Matancera as "Morena."
