Haiti Goes Latin is an album of Latin music recorded by Les Docteurs du Rythme in Haiti, and released by Ansonia Records in New York in 1975. The cover photograph depicts the Marché en Fer, or Iron Market, a public market in Haiti’s capital, Port‑au‑Prince. It’s by local artist Jacques Karaha, who might be responsible for the typography, too. At least he’s credited for other cover designs.
The names of the band and of arranger Michel Desgrottes are set in Smoke, while the album title is shown in the inline caps of Metropolis licht. The small print is in Univers.
In 2023, the reincarnation of Ansonia Records reissued some tracks from the album in digital form.
