Audio Fidelity released records with well designed covers!

According to the back cover Choco is short for Chocolate. There is extensive notes covering the history of Afro-American folk music on the jacket, but nothing is mention about the performer(s) on this record.

The first three tracks on the B side are Fantasia Haitiana. From the back cover: The Fantasia Haitiana Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are unusual because they show how, in the hands of an artist like Chocolate, primitive rhythms can be developed into a set of metrical variations.

The entire recording focuses on variations of drum percussion.
