"La Dangereuse", "Nibo", "Sous la Tonnelle", "Loco", "Sobo"...

all by Ludovic Lamothe, the Haitian "Black Chopin" (Un Chopin Noir). I'm looking for Voodoo music. :ugeek:

I've been enjoying the Antillean Dances by Wim Statius Muller published by International. I noticed on Wikipedia that "Many of his over 200 compositions are not published." Has anyone run across any of these unpublished scores? Or transcriptions maybe? Thanks

For anyone who's a fan, David Dubal did a nice interview with Muller in 1984 that's available on YouTube.
