Ton-Ton Macoute!
''Ton-Ton Macoute!'' is the 1970 debut solo album of American blues musician Johnny Jenkins. Jenkins had previously led The Pinetoppers, a band which at one time featured Otis Redding. Jenkins then appeared on two Redding albums, playing guitar, before releasing his solo debut. ''Ton-Ton Macoute!'' was originally intended as a Duane Allman solo album, before Allman departed to form The Allman Brothers. Most of the guitar tracks were played by Allman, with Jenkins later supplying the vocal tracks. In addition to Duane Allman, the album also features three other founding members of the Allman Brothers: Berry Oakley, Jaimoe, and Butch Trucks. ''Ton-Ton Macoute!'' is a blend of blues rock and Southern rock. It notably included covers of Dr. John's " I Walk on Guilded Splinters", Bob Dylan's " Down Along the Cove", and J.D. Loudermilk's " Bad News". Title In Haitian Creole, ''Ton-Ton Macoute'' means "bogeyman" (literally: "Uncle Gunnysack"). The bogeyman in Haitian folklore w ...

Haitian Creole
Haitian Creole (; ht, kreyòl ayisyen, links=no, ; french: créole haïtien, links=no, ), commonly referred to as simply ''Creole'', or ''Kreyòl'' in the Creole language, is a French-based creole language spoken by 10–12million people worldwide, and is one of the two official languages of Haiti (the other being French), where it is the native language of a majority of the population. The language emerged from contact between French settlers and enslaved Africans during the Atlantic slave trade in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) in the 17th and 18th centuries.

It also has influences from Spanish, English, Portuguese, Taino, and other West African languages. It is not mutually intelligible with standard French, and has its own distinctive grammar.
