Background notes
Archive material and source history
Yvart Jacques was a Haitian singer-songwriter whose song "À la Source" became particularly well-known. He recorded several albums in the late 1970s and 1980s, including "Chante la Haiti" in 1977 and "Haiti Mon Pays" in 1980. Other songs in his catalog include "Jehan l'advenu," "Le trente et un du mois d'Août," and "Passager de la vie."
His music incorporated traditional Haitian rhythms alongside other influences. He worked with musicians like Jean-Claude Garoute on drums and Herman Nau on bass. The 1990 album "Racines" was described as a return to Haitian roots with traditional rhythms.
A posthumous collection called "Legacy" was released in 2020 featuring unreleased recordings. His lyrics often touched on social themes and Haitian culture.
