I while ago I posted a couple of videos of a guy called Gerard Dupervil, and accordion player and singer from Haiti. The videos weren't of brilliant quality, but there was something about them that lead me to believe that Gerard was someone who the world needs to hear more of.
Time has rolled on, and YouTube has sucked in a few more treasures from Haiti. Including a couple of earlier recordings from Gerard.
Here is my favourite, a sublime piece called Confiance.
On this piece (actually two separate songs), seems to be just solo piano and voice, but still has a lovely quality.
Wow!!! What a treasure. I'll be researching Gerard Dupervil. Thanks so much.

I'm glad someone else shares my enthusiasm for Gerard.
Here's another track
