I'm celebrating the New Year and Haitian independence by listening to the music of Occide Jeanty and eating joumou soup. I couldn't find the music for free online, so I purchased an album as MP3, and I'm loving it! Sure, a lot of it is military marches and perhaps overly drenched in the European classical music tradition, but I do love me some classical and art music from Caribbean composers. Alas, if only one could find more recordings of some of the priceless gems of Haitian art music...Happy New Year!
