Invocation


A beautiful performance of Occide Jeanty's Invocation at the University of Minnesota Duluth campus. The complexity and diversity of compositions by Occide Jeanty is impressive, but I still haven't heard enough of his music to properly now it. Through his tenure at the Musique du Palais, Haitian music owes much to Jeanty.

La Délaissée et ses soupirs


Haitian students from a Cap-Haitien school of music performing a composition by Occide Jeanty, La Délaissée et ses soupirs. Due to Occide Jeanty's significance in the larger history of Haitian music, it's a shame more of his works are not available online, particularly the méringue.
