9340: Re: 9328: Haitian folktales on disk, or CD (fwd)
From: E Vedrine <evedrine@hotmail.com>
I am sure you can find some (including a list of references from my Kreyol
d-base). It's possible that they recorded some of Elsie Clews Parsons'
research on that. I?d suggest also that you visit Indiana
University-Blooming web for further references.
Best,
