The artist for this album is Princes of Dahomey. I looked it up on www.gracenote.com
Good album, great percussion and crossover of instrumentation and evolutionary styles.
 Much more than I expected March 26, 2004

The sound quality is great! The drummers are totally involved, great stuff. There are a few cuts with Flute, a Salsa, some vocal, but for the most part this is release is weighted on the percussion side. Enjoy
Pleasantly surprised September 1, 2001

[...]. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. For those of you who know a little about Haitian music, and who like to dance/choreograph, this cd is excellent. The rhythms are very clear. Unfortunately there is no information provided about the performers, or the culture of origin. Nevertheless, for dancers, dance teachers,or those who like to listen to some good traditional drumming, you can't go wrong with this one.
 This is where it all started. March 18, 2000

The music is ok, a very good representation of the genre. Track one consists of drums and flute, Track two contains vocals and percussion, and so it goes with similar variations. A valuable CD for teachers, dance schools and background music for stores etc. But hey, don't forget... great listening as well if you are into this kind of music. Very raw stuff; the very basics of music's heartbeat are here. Osibisa, Santana, Dibango, Masekela and many jazz masters can look here for their roots. It does not get more visceral than this.The sleeve contains no credits or useful information at all, save for the track titles as is sometimes the case with re-releases of LPs (if this is the case here). This lack of information is an insult to the artists performing on this CD as well as to the listeners, especially as this album is likely to be sought-out by music connoisseurs and students looking for that primeordial rarity. A million demerits to the producers, who do not fail to mention their company name. One only hopes that when these guys die, someone will forget to include their names on their gravestones.
