Ah, what better way to begin 2014 with some excellent old Caribbean music? Pierre Blain, a fine vocalist, gave us this lively number, "Moin Pa Ni Doudou," which might have been recorded in Martinique or Guadeloupe. Regardless of where it was recorded, this is the kind of Haitian music I love the most: jazzy piano or keyboards, featuring an orchestra, and full of the sensual, stately sounds of the Haitian mereng. Check out "Suzette" for another example of this style I find so enchanting.
