Choubouloute


Gerard Dupervil sings the lovely "Chouboulute," which sounds like a meringue lente. I am not sure who authored this love song, but Orchestre Citadelle also recorded it in the early 1960s in a big band setting. Dupervil's version is a little better for the extended length and attention to bringing the lyrics to life, however. Regardless, both are excellent recordings of excellent Haitian music.
