Aime Cesaire

Aime Cesaire died today at the age of 94. I first learned of this anticoloniast poet and politician from the music of Martinique, particularly the group, Malavoi. Malavoi has produced some of the most beautifully rhythmic music that I have ever heard. The classic Cuban and Haitian string orchestras that toured the Antilles had a significant influence on their sound that is still unique on the planet.
