- FP-1975-7RR-0145 begins with a continuation of the urban blues, featuring Johnny Shines. The tape continues with a Haitian group, which performs some vocal numbers featuring a female soloist, a choral backup, and much percussion. Sometimes the singing has a call-and-response pattern. The percussion, while primarily drumming, includes some metallic clanging and a quiet hooting instrument. The language may be a French patois. The group includes many dancers as well, so, possibly, the music on this tape is accompanying dancing, although there is no indication of that on the tape.
