HAITI LEGENDS

JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE À MUSHY WIDMAER GOUSSE.

Légendaire pianiste, compositeur et arrangeur haïtien.

Mushy Widmaier is a "modern jazz" piano player, but one with a certain undertone of both Haitian folklore and European art music - but all of it as ingredients of a digested and unified whole sounding unmistakably as Him. Mushy is capable of fitting in with groups of almost any stylistic observance, and takes a most active and creative part in the proceedings. He seems to master a vast repertory, whether jazz standards, Haitian folk songs, popular dance music or originals.

Based mainly on a self thought theoretic knowledge Mushy may apply anything from slight harmonic embellishments to a complete reharmonization including all kinds of extensions, substitutions and passing chords following each other. He realizes the specific possibility of the keyboard, not only regarding harmony but the subtle percussive potential of the instruments is just as important. A significant characteristic of Mushy individual style is his ability to set moods, structural

Mushi & Lakansyel: Koté Ou (1983)

There’s something special about Haitian zouk music, if you look in the right place. Mushi & Lakansyel’s Koté Ou, much like the cover suggests, is a meditation on the intimate and quite unique musical style of this Caribbean nation. A product of all the touchstone influences that have set foot in Haiti — latin, French, Brazilian, and African — Koté Ou was the attempt by one of the pioneers of the Haitian monster group Zèklè to show that they had this other side, as well. Much like Ayizan’s own, powerful work, this is music that’s both placeable and quite vaporous to even hope to pinpoint.

If you can put yourself in that place, this isn’t so much music to get in the beach with, but music to soundtrack a respite from it.
