Isn't he holding the wrong end of that beater?

A recolored version of previously posted painting.
In this one the drummer is hot and the dancer is cool. (colorwise)
Her movement is accentuated by her flailing arms and a thumpingly kinetic rear end.

I noticed that on that 1958 album they spell "merengue" (the music) like "meringue" the dessert. Amazing that anyone learns anything from albums or liner notes. Record looks good though.

Great colors, predominantly reds & yellows.

I have heard that Meringue is the French spelling for a Haitian Dance. Haiti has more music than Vaudou drumming. I have been looking for a recording of Haitian Meringue music for some time, but haven't found any. Is it similar to Merengue?
