Francis Santana, accompanied by Antonio Morel's merengue orchestra, sings a Haitian song in Kreyol that I first heard from Pepe Bayard, "Trois Bebes" (though I believe the song predates Bayard and Gary French). The earliest recording of the song appears to be from the 1950s Haitian Dance Bands Vol. 1 compilation. In addition to the Dominican merengue cover, a Colombia cumbia version can be heard here.
