Andre Charles and His Quisqueya Ibo Combo Group (1975) CD

"This item is part of the Folkways archives.  The original liner notes from the LP are included."

Haitian vocalist and composer André Charles was a Romantic who thoroughly appreciated “Une femme qui belle” (“a beautiful woman”). Songs composed for the Port-au-Prince-based Ibo Combo, popular during the 1970s, are nostalgic tributes to “le Belle Bagaille” (“Beautiful Thing”) that nod to peyizan (peasant) folk practices.
