Episode 39: Charme Offensive 2
12:00pm, 3-29-2020
<< Tropicology
The theme today is Charme Offensive 2; I will be playing music for dancing with a touch of class and French pedigree. The home of this music is the French West Indies: Haiti, Guadeloupe, and Martinique. As French speaking islands in the Caribbean, these cultures developed music that is entirely distinct from the Spanish and Cuban influenced music that dominates the rest of the region. During the Colonial Era music here reflected the formality and elegance of haute couture in France, a trait that can still be heard in the music today.
