Haitian Folk Song "Wongolo" - For Haiti
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2024
- I recorded this song while i was in Haiti in 2005. A series of delays on a project we were shooting left me bored yet inspired and with the few hours of electricity each day, i recorded little by little, track over track to come up with this. The very first melodic line is the only line true to the Haitian folk song, all the rest is my own arrangement.
Also, these were the photos i shot while i was there... (before i got into photography!) Enjoy!
