Bébé Carrière Interview, 1983
I clearly remember going to Bébé’s little house in Lawtell to interview him. He was a handsome, light skin creole, tall and slim. He had a gentle, slow way of talking. On another day I went back to visit him and his brother Eraste to film them playing music and take photographs of them in sunlight because Bébé’s house was a bit dark. I had brought my baby son Wilson along since I didn’t have a babysitter and Bébé’s wife Emily held him while I filmed Bébé and Eraste.
