	Another Haiti Installment \| Music For America
		In December of 1990, Aristide was elected president with %67 of the vote in the first free elections held in Haiti since the country achieved independence in 1804.
		Haiti is also as reliable source of cheap labor, especially in the garment industry.
		Any leader in Haiti who has a progressive agenda faces the combined opposition of local business leaders, large foreign corporate interests, and gang leaders whose intentions are essentially mercenary, all of whom benefit in some way from insuring that average Haitians do not improve their lot too much.

	Music of Haiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The music of Haiti is influenced most greatly by French colonial ties and African migration (through slavery), as well as by its neighbors, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.
		Haitian rap music was a major part of the country's musical scene by the late 1980s, laying the groundwork for the emergence of Haitian Wyclef Jean and The Fugees.
		In the 1990s, a new musical genre evolved that came to be known as mizik rasin, or "roots music".

	BBC - Radio 3 - World - Guide to World Music: Haiti
		It includes Haiti's major African drum patterns, each of which has produced a music as rhythmically compelling and distinct as salsa or calypso, rural adaptations of colonial music such as menwat (Haitian minuet), and a dance ensemble that has been in continuous existence since its stint as a seventeenth-century French military band.
		It includes a dozen field recordings of the music in its traditional form, from menwat bands to voodoo ceremonies and women singing in the street as they walk to the market.
		Haiti's great, late Creole diva, Toto Bissainthe spent long years in exile in Paris before her death in 1994.

	Haitian music: compas
		Although folkloric Haitian music was the main repertoire of the very popular Jazz des Jeunes, it had lost its momentum with the fall of President Dumarsais Estimé in 1950 and his replacement by General Paul E. Magloire.
		The defenders of the attachment of Haiti to its African roots accused Nemours Jean Baptiste of betraying the ethnic fundation of Haitian music.
		The turning of compas on its head means that the music returns where it begins to the main rythm, the main musical sentence: "The manman compas".

	Discover Haiti: Music -Richard Augustin
		But in their youth the music they used to dance was the Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Mambo etc. We did not have Konpa yet at that time.
		So basically this music does not have one particular crowd; what they worry more about the music is that at the performance if I deliver.
		Like now, most music in our culture are influenced by Reggae and Rap so what I’m saying is that not because you have an influence you cannot say it is not of Haiti.

	CD review: "Angels in the Mirror: Vodou Music of Haiti"
		Like the Santeria religion of Cuba, Haiti's Vodou (or voodoo as it is often spelled in the States) is a charming mix of Roman Catholicism and the African-derived religions of the slaves.
		In the case of vodou, the music is heavily influenced by African traditions.
		Rather than simply sharing her knowledge of Haiti and its people, she apparently feels compelled to also share her anti-Western bias in which she blames slavery strictly on Europeans, ignoring the role Africans themselves played in that ugly chapter of history.

		Boukman Eksperyans introduced a musical revolution in Haiti in the late-'80s when they overthrew the popular compas music with their new sound Vodou Adjae (also the title of their first album).
		Boukman's sound merged dance music with Haiti's religious preoccupation with Vodou (one of the many forms the Yoruban religion took after the Diaspora).
		Their music is heavily identified in Haiti with the springtime festival called Rara.

		LATAYE'S music is a dynamic mix of driving Haitian Vodou rhythms played on a variety of musical instruments coupled with astute arrangements and splendid choral hooks.
		This original style has taken Vodou music out of the countryside and into the cities of Haiti while bringing international recognition and acclaim to Vodou ceremonial music and dance.
		LATAYE is a fusion of Dadis unique sound with the musical influences of La Tibonit, a town of spiritual significance in Haiti.

		There might not be authentic voodoo music on this disc--for that you need a copy of Angels in the Mirror--and the late, great Haitian diva Toto Bissainthe is sadly absent, but what you do find here is marvelous.
		The whole point about this politically blighted but musically blessed island is that its music comes at you from many angles, not only from Cuba but from the Congo, Dominica, Brooklyn, and punk U.K., and that it all gets whipped up into the most exhilarating brew.
		This cd features Konpa(Haitian Dance Music, compas direct- which is a combination of Konpa and merengue from the neighboring country of the Domincan Republic, cuban son, jazz, troubadors, racine(roots music connected to the voodoo religion, and even rap!!

	Windows on Haiti: Music of Haiti
		Racines celebrates Haiti's African identity, an act of treason to the government and an offense to the island's upper class Francophiles.
		The music drives spiraling African call and response chanting and singing over intricately interlocking voodoo drum rhythms and rara, Haiti's oldest indigenous music, which is played mainly during springtime purification rites in the small mountain villages of the North.
		With Western powers and police in charge of Haiti today--a democratic regime Beaubrun describes as "sick"--the island's suffering and poverty is at an all-time low.

		With all eyes focused on the effort to aid the tsunami-stricken countries of Southeast Asia, Donald Odige, founder of the non-profit organization Gospel Generation, is making sure that another disaster-plagued country isn't ignored.
		Last fall, when the tropical storm Jeanne slammed into Haiti, the resulting floods devastated the country and its people.
		Odige says that the gospel concert, which will feature the New York Haitian Mass Choir as well as local acts, was a no-brainer in terms of a fundraising event because the music is automatically associated with relief, both spiritual and physical.

	HYP RECORDS/Vinyl Safari: Haitian/Voodoo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Generally unheralded, the music of Haiti bubbles away beneath the surface, only periodically erupting with tremendous force and influence.
		Haiti is known for its version of the popular Spanish dance, the meringue (merengue), as well as the sacred music elsewhere called "voodoo." The folk religion or cult of vaodoun (or vodun, corrupted as "voodoo") is distinguished by French, Indian, and African influences.
		Voodoo music exists also in such lurid cult movies as "I Walked with a Zombie." As Hollywood rode the recurring waves of calypso's popularity in the 1930s and the 1950s, voodoo inevitably provided the dramatic imagery.

	Strings
		Their point of departure is the folk music from Haiti, however, the sensitive and melodious style of this trio of acoustic guitars crosses boundaries of the other musical rhythms inspired by flamenco and Latin America, with versatility and professionalism.
		Their mastery of technique, harmony composition, arrangements and interpretation of musical scores has made them, starting with their first appearance in 1996, one of the favorite performers in the most renowned concert hall in the world.
		All of this is due in part to the popular feeling that although contemporary music already existed before "Strings" was founded, from now on it would be hard to conceive of a musical world which does not include these magnificent performers.
