For today, I wanted to share with you “Choual Dam Ba Lad“, a fantastic deep rootsy frantic Cadence Folklore Biguine with a psychedelic swing, one of the multiple versions of the Haïtian Traditional song “Zanmi Camarade“, interpreted here by an Haitian Folkloric Troup leaded by Pierre Benedict Joseph, and recorded in 1974 during a trip of the band to Paris (France).

The band included :

Pierre Benedict Joseph : Leader, Flute, Saxophone ;

Louis Larose : Organ, Piano, Accordion ;

Dieujuste Dorlette : Bass Guitar ;

Ednor Cherisme (Percussions) ;

Mrs Louis Larose, Helene Joanis : Vocals, Chorus ;

Different & really hard to find beautiful LP from start to finish, hope you’ll like it !
