Diane

Lovely version of an old Haitian meringue, "Diane," previously recorded by legends such as Sidney Bechet and Bebo Valdes. Policard gives it a bossa twist, and the video fortunately gives us the name of the song's composer, Jean-Baptiste, who is explained as being chef de l'orchestre du palais national during the US Occupation. 

Haiti

A lovely and jazzy rendition of a song I believe was penned by Issa El Saieh, or at least interpreted by him. Love how this jazz group slows things down a bit. Undoubtedly, I must locate more jazz like this, 'world' jazz that incorporates the various musical traditions of other parts of the world through a thoroughly jazz vein. Enjoy!
