Editorial Comment

In Haiti, the musical groups compose tunes especially for the year’s carnival and compete for best composition. The songs below are three of the top Carnaval 2012 songs: all of them indictments of the state of affairs. Some of the musicians have been assaulted for their social commentary, but who’s complaining? Their words are: courage, fight on! By all means, drop all inhibition and dance. Watch the videos from start to finish. Hang on through all the musical changes, even if the tempo is slow at first. If your hips aren’t eventually spinning at an exuberant 250 Hz, you need more practice. In Haiti, this is how we warm up when we mean business. We’re not partying to forget, but to remember. Truth does not take away our joy. Can you think of a better reason to help others than to make merry with them?

  1. Hey There Dady Chery,
    Cool Post, Do you however encounter Carnaval if you do not go to the celebrations? Is it well worth it to get a mask? If so, what is the most affordable and/or speediest way to get there from Rome?
    Great Job!
