Exotic Music from the Polynesia and the Far East

Brought to the isle of Haiti by slaves from the depths of Africa,
voodoo became symbolic of hidden mysteries.This music of magic,
is above all redolent with the caressing quality of the Caribbean. 
It evokes half wakeful dreams of balmy evenings beneath softly 
swaying palms, gentle breezes brushing the treetops from the calm
  indigo ocean and, over all, pervading sense of mystery.This album 
 may represent your first sensuous brush with voodoo. After you've 
 experienced  it late of an evening, don't be alarmed to find some tiny 
 Haitian doll stuck with pins waiting in your bedroom!
