World Music Network, an English record label well-known, includes several labels, including the famous series "Rough Guide".

It became an instant hit, and after more than 270 volumes, it won the title "Bible of World Music." The guides cover destinations as diverse as Madagascar, Iran and the Himalayas. A compilation, now exhausted, has already been devoted to Haiti in 2002.
It is a title of the latest album of the Orchestre Septentrional of Haiti, "Pi Douvan" composed by maestro Jocelyn "Ti Bas" Alce, who was chosen to be part of this new Caribbean compilation.
