|
|
I attempted to find some information on Yvon Louissaint the other day on the internet, and I was stupefied when my google searched yielded zero results. For any of us who grew up in the 70s, Yvon Loussaint was one of most prolific voices in kompa music, yet there is nothing online about this great legend. How could this have happened? From a historical perspective, Black people have always relied on oral history, but with the advent of modern technolgy, there is practically no reason why we have not done a better job at preserving our musical history on paper and online.
Unless we do a better job at preserving our history, we may never live to see to see the progression of kompa. |

Thanks Mr. Champagne.
I do own a couple of his albums but one of them was damaged, I haven't been able to replace it. |
