Traveling: Haiti

Poor Haiti. Beautiful Haiti. Sometimes it's impossible to understand why everything happens on the same place at the same time. But I don't want to begin an useless speech about politics, and misery and so on... I want to look forward, and try to give a sound of hope and possibly happiness to that incredible island. There's a strong spirit inside haitian people, there's the caribbean ability to stand up and laugh even in the worst events, there's this sense of uncertainty that makes present, here&now, the most important thing in the world. And there's music. Caribbean. Ca va sans dire...


Eleven tunes that say a lot about Caribbean fusion and influences. Tons of Africa and a pinch of latin. Fresh and light.


Hip-hop and politics to promote the cause of democracy in Haiti. Various artists in different ways linked to the island rap to explain why development and welfare of people must pass through rights and democracy.


Another artist that express the meaning of "creolness". Pop, hip-hop and latin in a nice mix.


Another way to represent Haiti from the outside. This artist has haitian parents, has born in the States, and lives in Australia... Absolutely creol.
