Andrée Lescot

Andrée Lescot was a singer, showgirl, soprano and daughter of Haitian president Élie Lescot.[1] Lescot was educated in Canada, where she studied for eight years at the École de musique Vincent-d'Indy.[2] She was featured on local radio before moving to Paris where she attended the Versailles conservatory.[2] Afterwards she landed a role in a musical by Albert Willemetz. She published several records of Haitian and Louisiana folk songs, accompanied by French music professor Roger Bourdin[3] and his orchestra. Depicted in a costume holding bow and arrow, she received attention in the African-American press in 1954 for starring in a revue in Lausanne, Switzerland.[1] In 1952, she appeared on a Canadian TV program entitled "Chansons Créoles avec Andrée Lescot" where she sang three Haitian Folkloric songs.[4] In 1955 the album Chansons Créoles Chansons Folkloriques D'Haïti was released on the London International label.[5] In the same year she married French actor Roger Murciano.[2]

Early prizes

In Canada, Lescot received a Ladies' Morning Musical Club scholarship as well as a prize from the Montréal Social Club aka Club Social de Montréal. She was second at a Singing Stars of Tomorrow contest in Toronto.[2]

Early career in Canada

Prior to leaving Canada for Paris, Lescot offered several concerts and recitals on Canadian radio. She sang with Jean Deslauriers' orchestra and presented at a conference with Jean Vallerand.[2]
