l’Age d’Or des Gypsies de Pétion-Ville
Rubicolor 1980’s

Les Gypsies, front

It was one of our French visitors from the first hour
who introduced me to compas from Haïti. Merci beaucoup
Arnaud. Since then I have been doing my homework and
learned a lot. For instance that I keep my eyes open
for every record on which I find Robert Martino, the
superb guitarist we heared on Tuco’s album recently.
Tuco is the drummer on this record as well by the way.
Les Gypsies de Pétion-Ville are here with wonderful
live registrations. They appear in two different
line-ups, check backsleeve in file for more
information about the matter. The album
is from 1994 but the recordings are from
some 20 years ealier, mid-seventies.
Enjoy listening..

    Hi Moos, you should come back to visit. House is really more comfortable now and the nature is still beautiful. Will be a pleasure to see you again.

    This is amazing, Moos. Especially the guitar work on “Green Light”. It doesn’t seem to have much in common with other Haitian recordings you’ve posted here. Got more like this?

      ..that track is quite exceptional, not much like it I’m afraid..
