Twoubadou, rooted in the Haitian Creole word for "troubadour," echoes the emotional narratives of its medieval namesake. Twoubadou traces its origins to the early 1900s, when seasonal migrant laborers working the cane fields in Cuba came to know and love Cuban guajiro music. The Cuban sound was soon melded with Haitian méringue and twoubadou was born. Twoubadous, akin to traveling bards, craft (often humorous) songs of love, life's complexities, and fleeting passions. "Twoubadou represents so much of what’s great about Haiti as an incubator for the arts, always bringing disparate cultures together to form wonderful new and uniquely West Indian expressions. Twoubadou is beautiful. Twoubadou is joy." Link Show made by Hugo Mendez.

"This duo from Rochdale, England, is composed of poet Steve Clayton and multi-instrumentalist Jim Milne and started out in 66 forming a beat group TWWL, but by the end of the decade they were the only remaining members. They were signed by John Peel’s label Dandelion (where Kevin Coyne and Medicine Head also recorded) after their demo tape had impressed him; not believing this was only a duo. The album was recorded in two days and named after Clayton’s girlfriend. After goods critics, but weak sales, they changed their name to TRACTOR and recorded a second album rumoured to have sold in quantities but success still eluded them and the Dandelion label folded afterwards. The duo soldiered on for another three years under one form or another releasing another few singles until 77, but they reformed now and again in the following decades. Although their Tractor album will not be included on the Archives for they are of little interest for progheads, their debut album The Way We Live is definitely a charming fusion of Indian-laced psychedelic folk and hard rock.
