15855: Wilcken: Looking for historical song collection (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Lois E Wilcken <makandal-ny@juno.com>

I recall a reference to a collection, either in article or book form, of
historical Haitian songs, that is, songs that refer to presidents,
events, etc., going back into the 19th century.  I believe they were
notated.  It was probably published early in the 20th century.  Can
anyone give me bibliographic details?  The author might be Lynch Kenol.
