Franz Casseus (1915-1993) |
|
| Haitian guitarist/composer Frantz Casseus deserves more recognition than he has received for creating solo classical
guitar pieces from indigenous Haitian folk music. His professional life
was colorful if not extremely glamorous. Born in Port au Prince, Haiti, he
fashioned his first guitar from a box, strings, and old bicycle parts at
age 12. By the time he moved to New York in 1946, he had already begun
writing his own classical guitar compositions, which blended the melodies
and rhythms of Haitian voodoo music with 19th-century classical guitar
harmonies and techniques. Casseus recorded two albums for Folkways Records
in 1953 and 1954 and penned the hit song "Merci Bon
Dieu," which
was recorded by Harry Belafonte and Hugh Masekela. Casseus died in
Manhattan of heart failure in 1993 at age 77. Primarily, Casseus earned his living as a guitar teacher. Appears with Harry Belafonte on LPM1402, LPM1505, LPM1887, LSP2626. Guitar on "Brown Skin Girl", "Cocoanut Woman", "Come back Liza", "Cordelia Brown", "Cu Cu Ru Cu Cu Paloma", "Danny Boy", "Dolly Dawn", "Don't Ever Love Me", "Eden Was Just Like This", "Haiti Cherie", "Hava Nageela #1", "Island in the Sun", "Jamaica Farewell", "Mama Look A Bo Bo", "Melda Massi", "Merci Bon Dieu", "Once Was", "Scratch, Scratch", "When The Saints Go Marching In" |
