14319: Wilcken: Re: 14298: Re: 14292: Two exciting finds for Corbett's library -- THE CALENDA. (fwd)



From: Lois E Wilcken <makandal-ny@juno.com>

You can find information on the calenda in colonial Haiti in Jean
Fouchard's La méringue, danse nationale d'Haiti (Port-au-Prince: Editions
Henri Deschamps, 1988).  I've loaned the book out, so I can't give page
numbers.  Also, Michel Lamartinière Honorat's Les danses folkloriques
haïtiennes (Publication du Bureau d'Ethnologie de la République d'Haïti,
Série II–No. 11, Port-au-Prince: Imprimerie de l'État, 1955), pages
23-27.  And it's mentioned on page 58 of  Moreau de Saint-Méry's "De la
danse" (Conjonction 24/3).
