INFORMATION

This album was recorded by Soul Jazz Records in Port au Prince, Haiti and
features the music and songs of Vodou (or Voodoo), the African –derived religion
that slaves brought to the country.

The music has an intensity that reflects the history and isolation of Haiti
from the outside world. Heavyweight drumming accompanies the vocals of the
priest and choir of the Societe Absolument Guinin.
