Haitian Piano with Fabre Duroseau (1952) Lolita Cuevas CD

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

Hailing from a highly respected musical family, Haitian pianist Fabre Duroseau delights with the pianistic flourishes of méringues composed by himself and his brothers. The Haitian méringue (a distinct form from the Dominican merengue) may have emerged during the days of colonial slavery and likely contributed to the evolution of jazz.
