haitian culture

Nemours Jn Baptiste would've been 100 years old if he was alive today in 2018. To commemorate the 100 year aniversary of the maestro and founder of Konpa Direk, a new bust of Nemours Jn Baptiste was erected at Place Saint-Anne in Port-au-Prince.

When I was growing up in Haiti, virtually every old lady in the neighborhood was considered a DYAB, a LOUGAROU. I am older now and things haven't changed that much.

There are many things that we Haitians consider culture but when other people look at us doing these things, they see it as pure ignorance. Are we right? Are they wrong?

An Haiti, depi yon moun vle fe manifestation, li mete yon BANN RARA deyo epi, nan 15 minit, manifestation an RED... Tanbou... Tcha tcha... Graj... Mizik... Tout moun ap danse... Y'ap manifeste... MANIFESTE KISA? Majorite moun nan lari-a ki ap danse yo, majorite moun ki ap chante yo, yo pa menm konnen objectif manifestation an ni nan avantaj kiyes li ye... Sempleman, yon bann ap pase, yo rantre... Yo la tou... E si nou te RETIRE MIZIK la???
