From the back cover: Andre Toussaint presented here in a masterful collection of both Haitian songs in French and folk songs of Hispaniola, takes his rightful place as one of the top singers and entertainers in the entire West Indies.
Andre's voice is both beautiful and entrancing and his interpretation of the Haitan creole folk songs is one long to be remembered. In addition to being gifted with a lovely voice Andre is an accomplished guitarist.
Toussaint came to the Bahamas a little over two years ago from Haiti and has rapidly risen to the top niche of Nassau's great entertainers.
Andre's rendition of the happy creole French or Spanish folk song, and his change of pace to the sad, plaintive ballad is amazing. His performance of the Voodoo or goombay song is typified in the soul-stirring Goombay Chant is one that will leave its memories indelibly imprinted on the listener. Amazingly versatile Andre can change his moods to run the gamut from sad and soulful music to the happy and rhythmic excitement of the Cha Cha Cha and Merengue.
Andre and his talented musical combination known as "The Caribbeans" continue to charm patrons of the Junkanoo Club and Blackbeard's Tavern where both Bahamians and visitors in the island gather to hear this talented musical group.
