Ludovic Lamothe: Fleurs d'Haiti
`
This was originally part of the last post. After a bit of thought (not that much) I figured that this music was important enough to merit its own posting. Quite a few years ago I found this five-record album...

`It's Fleurs d'Haiti, an album of music composed and played by Haitian pianist Ludovic Lamothe (1882-1953). It seems to have been recorded in the late 1930s sometime. Unfortunately I can't find a lot of information about this set. If it's mentioned at all, it's as a footnote, sometimes with a "(78 rpm?)" postscript. This seems to be the best page available about Lamothe:
