Covering a broad spectrum, this collection includes vodou ritual drumming (using tanbou, a type of drums used for this religious practice of African origin); a jazzy Haitian dance music called meringue that uses trumpets, saxophone, shaker and accordion; and a chorus of bamboo trumpets called vaksin. Performers include the widely recognized Meringue Ensemble aux Calabasses de Nemours Jean-Baptiste, Trio au Chanteclair, baritone Roger Morisseau and the National Folklorique Troop under the joint direction of Lavinia Williams and Jean Remy.
