“Issa became a legend in his own life time. During the 1940s and 1950s he had a big band that created a new school in Haitian music. The band played a mixture of Haitian music, jazz and Afro-Cuban, and cut a number of records on Issa’s own label, named La Belle Créole as well….During the 1950s Issa also opened his art gallery, without the shadow of a doubt the most famous one in the country. He was a unique talent spotter who discovered and hired a large number of the great Haitian naïves: Jacques Enguérrand Gourgue, André Pierre, André Normil, Jacques Chéry, Seymour Bottex, Alexandre Grégoire and dozens of others. His own collection of Haitian art is one of the best in the world”
Light refreshment will be provided.
