What have they done to your grandfather's Sousa? Hear New Trad's exciting new arrangements of the music of John Philip Sousa, the most popular American musician at the turn-of-the-20th-century. His music from the early days of American life is given a brand new sound with the joyful rhythms of modern Haitian "Kompa" and other Caribbean styles. This century-wide connection ties modern American culture, with its many Caribbean influences, to a time when concerts in the town square or city park were the focal point of social and cultural life for many Americans.
