Remarks:

"Ogoun, Dieu du Fer"
An unusual men's duet: of the three men present, only one sings throughout, sometimes joined by one or the other of his two companions, but never all three at once. The song is called a recruiting song, though the disk jacket does not indicate what this recruiting is.
