- General Note:
- This session features performances by a bélè group led by Mickey Bentic (president). The bélè (or belair) is a creole drum dance that contributed to the development of the calypso. This dance stems from the secular traditions of the French Windwards, namely Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Carriacou. Almost all of the performances are accompanied by a three-drum ensemble, which consists of two fuller drums (supporting drums also called bula or foulé) and a cutter drum (lead drum), as well as a chac-chac (gourd rattle).
- General Note:
- Three-drum ensemble performing the rhythmic accompaniment to a dance style, which Alan Lomax calls a cabinet (Field Log). Performance is followed by a brief discussion/interview between Lomax and one of the performers.
