“The rustic nature of early Haitian music can best be heard on the magnificent 10-CD Alan Lomax in Haiti: Recordings for the Library of Congress, a collection of wonderfully evocative recordings made in 1936 and 1937 of vodou and church ceremonies, Boy Scouts singing plaintive folk songs, and stately clarinet-led orchestras learning how to swing.” -Peter Shapiro, Daily Swarm
