In 1936, in the middle of scouring rural America for folk music that might have vanished forever if not for his efforts, ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax traipsed off to Haiti for four months with his 19-year-old fiancée and a 55-pound recording unit. The results are only now available for anyone to hear. "Haiti (1936-1937) Vol. 1 - Treasures from the Lomax Archive" brings together highlights from the 2011 GRAMMY nominated box set "Alan Lomax in Haiti" and traces how Mr. Lomax was out to document the music of everyday Haitians, in whatever form, and to hunt for the influence of African music, as he had in the U.S. From the most accessible sounds to the dance bands of Port-au-Prince, who had incorporated New Orleans jazz from records imported by occupying U.S. Marines, Lomax followed leads around the country, recording celebratory carnival songs, work songs, and eventually the music of officially forbidden Vodou (what is commonly known as voodoo) ceremonies.
