Description
History of Haitian Musical Style is the most extensive work ever written on Haitian music and the diversity of its practices. The author addresses peasant traditions—voodoo, customary instruments, rural sung tales—popular urban dance music, and genres and forms of classical music. Writing about a country's music means paying attention to repertoires, instruments, conceptions of beauty and creation, and pivotal moments in history. A fundamental work for discovering and understanding Haitian music, History of Haitian Musical Style combines research, analysis, anthology, and critical reflection.
