Baron Samedi uses the secret radio in this flute to report Bond's location on San Monique to Kananga. In Haiti -- the model for the fictional island -- Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, the country's despised brutal dictator from 1957 to 1971, deliberately mimicked the look and behavior of the voodoo spirit Samedi to further intimidate his people.
