WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HIM …
“Richard
Augustin should be in the dictionary under ‘syncopation’”

“Richard
Augustin plays easy listening Caribbean music with acoustic guitar, drums and
percussion. He calls his music
"jamba rhythm," and he
easily floats between jazz-tinged phrasing and traditional Haitian compas
melodies.”

Augustin summons up a most exiting blend of flavorful world rhythms like Samba,
Jazz, Konpa and Mambo in a nevertheless local dish named Jamba Rhythm.”
