Jean Michel, it seems like it was only a couple of months ago that I wished you a "happy birthday." Happy birthday, dude.
Smooch, no hard feelings against anyone. I just wanted to make a point.
Yopran'm, was tirade partly targeted towards me?

Agimal back with good words after MDBaller from H.S.A cursed him out man. The way Agimal was dancin' I tought he was the "Roi kanaval la" . I didnt think he was takin' a free ride from H. S. A.

Happy Birthday "CUZ".
I was at the KANAVAL last weekend with the family and we had lots of fun. I was proud to see the Haitian Float passed by and I was told I missed the best part. Congratulations to all involved. I've learned couple things that I think will benefit many here. They are:
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution.
An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. With that said, chapo ba pou Echodhaiti, HSA, Wachahapa and all others groups/individuals who are doing their best to improve themselves and others.

Smoochees you have nothing to say to these people, why do you think that I stay off this site and only speak when I have something important to say, you should do the same. haitians have always been like that, you'll find the ones that appreciate what you do but at the same token those who hate you for your success...let them be. that's waisting energy for nothing. Let's take care of our business sis, that's all we need to do. Mem moun kap pale nou mal nan se mem moun sa yo ka pral pran plezi yon pou gratis, so just drop it booby and let's move on.

People please STOP IT there is no war going on between H.S.A and WACAHAPA.This is not a Nemours/Sicot or a D.P/Scorpio Miki /T.Vice kind of thing,and don't make it so.
WACAHAPA is saying congrats to H.S.A for a job well done.
To those of you who don't know what is going on let me tell you that there is no war, as a matter of fact the scaffles to built the H.S.A float were ordered by WACAHAPA.You may ask Jean Presmy he will tell you that when he could not find the scaffles anywhere he said AGI sové'm I had to leave my job to place the order at a rental tool place on route 108. I call Mario and he too left his job to sign a WACAHAPA check since we need two signatures on the check.
H.S.A se pitite nou yo ye, nou se you sel fanmi.Nou pa ka fè yo mal.
Now PEUPLE HAITIEN let's get ready for the BALTIMORE CARNIVAL.That's one more chance to raise the red and bleu in this bicentennial year.
That wil also be the first Haitian participation ever at the Baltimore Carnival-Let's regroup and make it big.
WACAHAPA is coming out with DJ Woolado the parade is on Saturday September 18.
More info will follow.

"Interesting, I also think that H.S.A went to far to beat Wachahapa man at this year canaval. Right now they are in big debt ($6,500 U.S) for the showing off. Every body know that Agimal got paid for participating . Agimal already stocked the money that to Carnival organisation gave him in the bank man."-----Jean
Jean my dear....we are not trying to beat WACAHAPA nor showing off (of course we were showing off our RED and BLUE) nor in DEBTS. This is what I am talking about.....NEGATIVITY. Why not be positive? Did HSA tell you all of these info? I bit you NOT. Feed from the SOURCES and not from the NONSOURCES. I Know you enjoyed yourself for SURE saturday. Just be happy and proud for that. If HSA have debts let HSA take care of their business. Are you willing to pay some? NO! So pou ki tout pawol sa yo. Minm si nou te nan debt ki te depase nou that would not have matter to us. Lesentyel nou fe yon bel kanaval and EVERYONE was satisfied. Minm sa kap pale yo. And that's all we care about. You requested a service, we promise to deliver it and WE DID DELIVER IT and everybody was satistify. This is what I call SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. Don;t worry about how we deliver the service to you.

PR....c'mon on now. Pa fe'm sa. If anything se HSA ou tap supote and not Yves. Whatever is going on between you two should stay between ya. Pa fe inosen peye pou koupab. HSA is HSA and Yves is Yves. Yves Dayiti helped us by letting us promote the Kanaval on the radio station. Beside flyers and mouth to mouth there are no other way to communicate with the community. And I think it was very nice of him and HSA thank him for that. On top of that he supported us by giving his donation. Yves pa fe kanaval ni li pa HSA. But i understand your point. Si nap kontinye konsa nou pap jenm rive. Life is too short people. Ou pa kon ki le wap mouri. You and Yves need to put ya differences behind ya and move on. Is all that stress worth it? I've been watching you two on the board and it is such a SHAME...En tou ka ou pedi nan kanaval la and Yves Dayiti danse kont li. Danm PR it's that bad babe? WOW!!! I had no idea.
Yopranm....I haven't had a chance to stop at the festival. I will do so this weekend and definitely will check out ti-koka. Map rete lwen Azor paske se fanm gonaives mwen ye. Lwa'm toujou pret a monte....lol
Grandefemme.....now do you really believe in nonsense/rumors/BS? Gade kiles kap pale? C'mon now girl. Certain things are not worth an answer. People talk and there's nothing anyone can do to STOP them from talking. Look around you and read through the lines....epi wa di'm. Nou pa pliyin bay moun but yet they worry their a***S off for us. E byen pou kisa yo pa fe yon ti maraton ede HSA peye gwo bill $6500 dola sa.....LMAO. Grandefemme, I know you are smarter than that girl.
FYI....HSA is not competing with WACAHAPA. I remember it was in April that we decided to organize the KANAVAL for our 200 years of independence. Avan sa pat gin HSA. We formed the group and called ourselves HSA. At that time there was no word about KANAVAL from no one. I do not see anything wrong with trying to do something different. It is obvious that it was worth it. HSA main focus is to please the community and not to go against anyone. We all can join hands and make things happen. Mwen pa ka fose peson to become one with us. As far as we're concern yo te met monte desan kraze brize HSA will keep doing what they are doing. Nothing can stop us now. We don't care about what people say but the community. We are all about POSIITVE. Of course nan tout sa wap fe wap jwen HATERZ/NEGATIVE/JALOUZI/MECHAN/CHIME min san yo minm pa tap jenm gin HSA. Se avek moun sa yo pou we si wap fe yon bagay ki bon pou kominote a. Se minm jen pou yon STAR ou byen yon ACTOR. What do you think make them so successful today? All because of the HATERZ. So HSA pap gade deye. Nou pran devan net. Sonje you are dealing with a whole bunch of young haitian american. WE DO NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY. Trust me it will not stop us. Pendan se tan en'n kite gran moun yo goumin entre yo. Nou minm se ti moun nou ye nap wete ko nou (smile)
HSA did a wonderful job and we will do a better job next year. Wait till you see what we have reserve for the community next year. Nap sezi.
For those who are very interesting in our debts, thanks but no THANK YOU. We have no debts. Like I said it was hard work putting up the KANAVAL but we did it. Sak te la yo nou te we cha HSA a. Mwen byen sure ke nou te we BANNERS yo. Se pa pou gran mese nou te plake yo soy cha. Te gin unitransfer, CAM, Ceepco, Alexanon magazine, Lakay productions, ak PRESMY. Se pa pou bebel nou te mete yo. All those banners were sponsors. So you guys can imagine.
Thanks for all of your supports again.
Now get ready for the summer with HSA

From what I can observe (paske map swiv :-), there's no CAM, no Unitransfer, no dr. pouyes, no ceepco records, alexanon magazine, no lakay production, no konbit lakay, no haiti a suivre, NOTHIN "advertized" on the site (I don't know where there money is coming from and it's not my business. I don't know where McDonald's money is coming from, but I know they provide a service that is useful to me.), but yet ALL these people benefit from the exposure. Many shamelessly advertize their products here, 'cause they know something.
The only thing this site is reproachable on is that they give us ONE page to hang ourselves and we do a damn good job. We've turned a great weekend into an ugly, ugly virtual riot.

Let me "claritify" something, Ginau is the webmaster, echodhaiti is his and his Brothers, I don't see him begging anyone for support, so as far as I'm concerned Ginau can say and do whatever he wants...can you just appreciate his generosity?
One more thing, why bringing HSA's business on the board, are they complaining to anyone about not been able to cover their debts? You people need to grow up, shame on you all...

I understand both parties now about Saturday night.
I think it was a MISCOMUNICATION between Lakay and Agimal man . Anyhow, when thinks like that happen the promotor is always the one to blame for not fixing his bed before going to sleep man.
Agimal, it's for fault for not bringing your rifle/mixer to the batle man. I think, the company giving sound is not obligated to provide a mixer. Ask Master Compa, he will tell you man.
Interesting, I also think that H.S.A went to far to beat Wachahapa man at this year canaval. Right now they are in big debt ($6,500 U.S) for the showing off. Every body know that Agimal got paid for participating . Agimal already stocked the money that to Carnival organisation gave him in the bank man.

William Shakespeare died much too soon! He missed the subject of a good drama play.
Congratulations to HSA and all those who worked diligently to make this year's carnival a success.
Smoochess, I stop supporting the HSA movement because of Yves dayiti involvement and ability to manipulate it. Yves is a very ill-intentioned man whose message is to further divide this community. He feeds off this type of muddle, my advice to him is to seek help. I will not support any organization who allows him to further his cause.

Caroline Dufort, please, it's not fair to involve Ginau in this "MACAQUERIE". I understand that he's the head of echodhaiti.com, but, he's not around everybody when they're writing or posting something on the site. Then, he cannot help those who came in this country, who already did not have respect for anybody or themselves, who instead of learning how to speak and write standard english, prefer to imitate and speak and write like hoodlums. Caroline, I'm not attacking you, I just want to show you that Ginau cannot stop anyone from blaspheming when they write on the board, it is impossible. All he is able to do is to edit what people post on the board, but if everybody on this board was acting civilized with each other, he would never have to worry about editing anything on it.

Hi everybody!!!
It's a shame for all of you, the Haitian community. We are supposed to do things together. Calling people names, people are not frank with each other. What king of people are you? You are not going anywhere if you keep acting this way. This site is supposed to be the site of the community, to share positive things with each other. Instead, it is a trash, really a trash site. the head of this site (like Gineau ) is supposed to allow nice and kind people to write positive and instructive things for the sake of the community. When somebody is callinf an another person "Nigga", it is a bad word. Haitian people are "sauvage". Shame on you. I suppose the HSA got a lot of trouble paying right now Top Vice and the Carnival. But I guess the public doesn't know about that and they even doesn't care. They don't give money and they come to enjoy themselves at the carnival and that's it for them and they go home. But who is having problem now? where the money is coming from? I guess your pocket hein!!! I am sorry, but there is a proverb " le deye ou ron pa fose pete kare".
So people, think about it...

Please STOP 'cause you cannot get any lower. Let HSA shine
HSA, great job. I got into town just in time, if someone had told me I wouldn't have believed.
Un ami,
you have some valid points, but I would suggest that the feelings that Ginau expressed are by far the feelings of the majority. This site was criticized not long ago for being "too positive." (read below). HSA has brought an excitement into town that wasn't there before, and they must be praised for that. And, finally, giving a compliment to one doesn't mean you're putting down another. Many people feel that it was the "best" carnival ever: a band most people are familiar with, very good sound system, RED and BLUE EVERYWHERE, great weather, we kicked the trinis ass. That should not take away from what any body did before.
Un ami, if you are a sports fan. Is MJ the best ever? is Maradona the best ever? Is TAbou the best ever? Does that take away from Nemou? does that take away from Pele? from Dr. J? NO!
Give credit where it's due: THE BEST CARNIVAL EVER. That doesn't mean that next year WACAHAPA can't top them. If they do, it will be to "our" benefit.
peace

Lakay,originally you told me that the company from Miami providing sound for the carnival will also provide sound for the show.
Last week you call me and told me that the company is asking for too much money and you asked me to play on TRANKIL'S sound system.I told you that TI MIKI is the owner of the system I will talk to him for you.Later I told you that Miki said that since he knows that TRANKILL was playing on someone else's system he rented out his system to another band for the 26th.TELL ME IF I'M NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.
(Miki also rent and / or do sound for spanish bands,that's his business.This is why even when he played with TRANKILL he still get paid for his sound system.LI PA NEGOCIER SA.)
Then you made arrangement with Rafrechi to provide sound.Our understanding was that they will bring everything for us to play with.
The musicians of TRANKILL were there ready to play at 10:30, with their riffles/instruments bass,keyboard,guitar,drum machine.Bringing a mixer was never mentioned.
A mixer is part of the P/A system,it's not a musical instrument, ask any musician.
TOP VICE,MIKI,T.VICE carry their mixers because they travel a lot and they don't trust other sound men with their set up.
You need to be a man and take the blame instead of dropping it on others to save face in front of the public and the visiting band.
The guys of TRANKILL were looking forward to the "exposure",they were ready to tape the show,they practice hard for it.They were there on time.You came at 12:30 and TOP VICE showed up AT 12:50,but we are the one that you are taking on.
You did not planned YOUR SHOW well enough baby.That's what you need to say.That's the only truth to the story.
Did you know that MIKI helped woolado with the sound.
Do you remember that the club was rented under MY name.
Did you know that FRITZ was playing guitar by himself on stage.You would not know that because you were not there.
The show was a "Top Vice Show" we were the openning act.
We were there to perform from 10:30 to 11:30,and give the floor to TOP VICE to start at midnight.
WE DID REPORT TO WORK BOSS.
At midnight TI MIKI left because he said that his time was up,but TOP VICE whose getting paid was still not there with their mixer to work.MEN SE NOU KI BAY PROBLEM NAN - PLEASE.
BERNARD,what I don't understand is why "outside" in front of the club when I asked you what went wrong, you told me in the presence of ALEXANON,in the presence of the reporter from N.J and in the presence of FRITZ that this problem is all GEORGES BAZILE'S fault.It's never you.Inside you told the public and top vice that it's TRANKILL'S fault.It's never you.WHY BERNARD.
The same way I acknowledge you outside the club, why you did not talk to me before you take the microphone to do some domage to my business to save yours that is at fault.
WHY BERNARD.
MERCI.

USUALLY I DO NOT GO BACK AND FORTH IN REPLIES TO DISCUSSIONS ON THE BOARD BUT ON THIS ONE I WANT THIS COMMUNITY TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED SATURDAY NIGHT AND CLEAR THE SITUATION.
I WANT TO APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF LAKAY PRODUCTIONS AND HSA.
TWO BANDS WERE SUPPOSED TO PERFORM THAT NIGHT, AS A PROMOTOR I SHOULD PROVIDE FOOD, HOTEL, TRANSPORTATION AND SOUND SYSTEM. FOR A LOCAL BAND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH AMENETIES (SUCH AS FOOD, HOTEL, ETC) BUT THE SOUND SYSTEMS. AS EVERY BODY WHO WERE THERE THAT NIGHT, SAW THAT THERE WAS A SOUND SYSTEM SET UP ON STAGE PROVIDED BY RAFRECHI "DJ WOOLADO". THE GROUP TRANKIL REFUSED TO PLAY BECAUSE I DID NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH A MIXER. LIKE I SAID THAT NIGHT THERE IS NO SOLDIER WITH OUT A RIFFLE OR A WRITER WITH OUT A PEN. WHICH MEANS THAT THE GROUP TRANKIL CAN NOT BE A BAND WITH OUT HIS OWN MIXER. IF I PROVIDE ALL THIS, GIVE THEM AN EXPOSURE, THEY SHOULD HAVE HELPED ME THAT MUCH BY FULFILLING THE NEED OF THIS COMMUNITY. I DIDN'T HAVE TO PROVIDE A MIXER TO TOP VICE. THEY TRAVELLED WITH THEIR OWN MIXER. TRANKIL SHOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME. IF THERE WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE GENERAL MANAGER OF TRANKIL "AGIMAL" I WAS NO AWARE OF IT.
TOP VICE WAS SCHEDULED TO PLAY RIGHT AFTER TRANKIL. TOP VICE DID PLAY THAT NIGHT. DO TO THE LATENESS I WAS ABLE TO GET AN HOUR EXTENSION FROM THE CLUB. TOP VICE WAS DONE PLAYING AT 3:15AM.
LIKE IT OR NOT I AM A PEOPLE MAN AND I DO NOT WORK FOR MYSELF. I WORK FOR THE HAITIAN COMMUNITY. "MWEN MONTE MONTAGNE MWEN DESAN MONTAGNE". MWEN TOUJOU LA KING ALA GANACHE.
PS:THE FUTURE OF THIS COMMUNITY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE HANDS OF THE OTHERS BUT TO THE YOUNG GENERATION.

Good job HSA... Although, I had a lot fun at the Carnival. I want a full explanation from LAKAY PRODUCTIONS and AGIMAL of what happened on Saturday night. My friends and I (about 10 of us in 2 different cars) went to Napoli were TRANKIL and TOP VICE were scheduled to play. When we arrived there around 12:30 AM, we saw Agimal chilling with the rest of TRANKIL musicians outside the nightclub and none of TOP VICE musicians around. When we went upstairs, NO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS were set up the stage and dj wolado playing cds. After 30 minutes, I got so upset at the party promotor who wasn't even in the crowd that I left with most of my friends.
I think it's time for our party promotors to start taking us, the public, more seriously and take responsibility of their action. This kind of behavior needs to stop in our community in order to avoid FURTHER EMBARRASSMENT AND MOVING FORWARD.
A beautiful day like shouldn't have ended on a such sour taste.
I am waiting for an explanation from all parties involved.

There are no words strong enough to express my sentiments toward HSA. This one was the best carnaval ever organized by a group of people in this community. You can take that from me who has been living here for 29 years. It was great and everyone had fun. HSA members used their times, talents, togetherness to pull it through. I sure hope that HSA has learned a lot from this experience and give the members enough amunition to do even bigger things in the community. Congratulations and Congratulations again to the all HSA. I will be always available to help. Let me guarantee you that next year I will do my best to help HSA financially. I talked to one HSA member yesterday and that member knows already what I have in store for the carnival. (Chyen fe rev, li rete nan ke-li).
Smoochees thanks. O boy, you were having fun!!! It was great. Even the other communities claimed that the haitians were the best.
Again Congratulations and keep it up!!!!

Good Morning all...(with the biggest smile)
First I want to say I LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL (screaming)...
WOW!.....no diol to talk. WE DID IT.....when I say HSA you say WE DID IT...lol
Yes, it was a long journey. Nou soti lwen. Nou travese la rivye, bato chavire avek nou, le'n pense nou preske rive se ato nap pran baf. O denye momen siklone pati ak yon bo tet nou....but guess what? We did not give up. We kept going san vire gade dega ki te deye nou. We got to the end and WE DID IT. We showed Washington DC what we are all about. Nou trase yon ekzanp. This Kanaval will make history. I remember telling the rest of the gang (HSA STAFF) that we must stick together. We are already out there no matter what it takes we must show washington dc what A REAL KANAVAL is all about (keep in mind we started this at the end of March). I also told them that it might hurt us, it might hurt our pockets but the pain will be worth it. They believed in me and stood by me to put up this UNFORGETABLE KANAVAL. AHHHHHH le'm di nou nou soti lwen nou soti lwen tout bon vre wi. HMMMM!!!
On behalf of HSA, we want to thank each and evryone of you who supported us this year for the KANAVAL. We couldn't do it with out you. Although we came across some "NEGATIVITIES/CONSEQUENCES/SOME BAF", we kept our heads up and kept going with what we wanted to accomplish and you guys have the PROOF.....HSA DID IT. Mwen pap jenm bouke di sa. I am proud of HSA and what we are trying to do in our community. We are all about doing POSITIVE thing. This is a new generation and we know what our people want and we will give it to them. Like Ginau said "ti moun pa mele nan afe gran moun".....Pawol ou konsekans wi Ginau (smile) e byen nap vire bagay la yon lot jen.....gran moun se ret nan wol gran moun ou pa mele nan afe jeune ti moun....Sa'n we? Nou tout la gin verite a nan min nou. Mwen pap di anyen enko map kite nou pale. HSA promised to give our community a KANAVAL every year from now in. This year was good but next year it will be GREAT! Nou pap fe bak du tou and NO we promised not to go over our heads. Bagay yo ap fet yon lot jen net. As long as you stay positive and HONEST about what you are doing you will make it. Depi ou nan bagay negative ou chire. Depi ou nan twonpe kominote'w ou chire net. HSA is here to stay....nou met konte sou nou.
Special THANKS to:

The Haitian youth is too many times underestimated in Haitian culture; "ti moun pa mele nan afè¨ gran moun."
This weekend the youth of the Washington, DC, community proved that they can have a major impact on Haitian culture. The young ladies and gentlemen of HSA (Haitian Sensation Association) systematically organized the best showing at the carnival this year, also the best showing ever for Haitians at the DC Caribbean carnival. HSA organized fundraising parties, washed cars, sold t-shirts, begged sponsors, relentlessly advertised through word of mouth, radio, magazines, and internet.
It's hard to beat the Trinidadians in showmanship, with their multi-colored costumes and that pulsating Soca rhythm, but, the Haitians this year showed more spirit and screamed louder than anyone else. With Top Vice's Freddy as the Master of Ceremony, not only were the Haitians hyped, but along the way, we picked up St. Lucians, Dominicans, even some Trinidadians. At the end of the carnival, the HSA truck received what constitute as a standing ovation from the people. One lady, standing on her porch on Georgia Avenue, yelled out, "y'all did a good job!"
Yes, we did. Yes, HSA did a very good job.

I went to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival today and I must say they did a pretty good job with the exhibitions. More importantly however, for a change, folks here are getting a chance to see something positive about our country and our vibrant culture. I was really refreshing.
Try to make it down there if y'all get a chance (Smithsonian Metro Station - blue and orange line). It runs through July 4th.

Haitian American, I'm glad that you went to the folksfestival, did you get a taste of "AZOR" because I'm sure, with your parents being christians, you never have or had a chance to listen to the beatings of conga drums playing voodoo rythms. And, Serge, thank you for elaborating more on the subject, which will help Haitian American further in his or her research.

Silver Spring, Md - Friday, June 25, 2004 at 21:03:20 (EDT)
Haitian-American wrote the following: "I have great difficulty tolerating this part of my culture... I am not willing to accept it...".
Haitian-American, I admire your honesty in speaking so frankly about this. Let me tell you that you should not feel like an alien having strange thoughts like this. The issue you are raising would require much more time than this column allows. However I will tell you this.
From the very beginning of the existence of Haiti as a nation, there has been a systematic campaign to portray Haiti and its inhabitants as savage people practicing these animist rites they call "vodou". Up to this day, the campaign remains unabated, even if more subtle. Unfortunately, our elite was too often a willing partner in vilifying "moun sa yo", those from below who practiced Vodou, and these include your parents, mine and too many others. Too many of us who got a chance to obtain a good education got an earful of those evil rites called "vodou", without quite knowing exactly what was the real deal. Vodou, black magic (the sticking doll, the magic potion, etc), all that was evil. Thanks God there have been some serious studies of Vodou, such as that of Milo Rigaud that Le Plus Haut suggested, that set the record straight. Did you know for example that those who pratice Black magic are forbidden to practice Vodou?. You see, the apologists for European culture, both outside and inside of Haiti never accepted African culture as a valid one, the former because of ther racism, the latter because of a lack of identity, of conviction and self-esteem. For them, everything was geared to Europe. It is no accident that up to recently, no school taught African History in Haiti. Isn't that a shame! Nowadays, you see African Studies Institute in Haiti and all kind of activities relating to Africa. It was about time!. I am sorry to say that up to this day, you still have many among our elite who still think the same Eurocentric way. The irony of it all is that more and more, the contradictions in their position become more and more obvious. They love Rasin mizik, which is essentially based on Vodou rhythms; they love Boukman Eksperyans which, in my view, is the most scientific Rasin group; they love our folkloric presentations that are all inspired from Vodou rites et j'en passe.
For a long time now, it has been recognized that Vodou is a religion like any others, with its own set of beliefs, rites, obligations and so on. Just like some catholics pray or go to church when experiencing some tragedies, so do those who practice Vodou. (By the way, I am not a practicing Vodouist.) You go to Church as a Christian, so do the Vodouist. It is a matter of relating to your environment according to your set of beliefs, whether you are a catholic, a protestant, a Jehovah's witness, a vodouist etc. We are dealing here with different religions and thank God that we have freedom of religion in Haiti. Just like in the catholic religion or any other, there are things that are forbiden in Vodou. Each has its own set of secrets rites that are only open to the initiates. There are things you have to learn and if Vodou is as secretive a religion as it is, this is precisely because in slavery time, the practicing vodouists were systematically hunted down in a effort to eradicate the religion which was viewed by the colonizers as an element of rebellion. One more reason for you not only to understand it and tolerate it, but to learn about the historical and revolutionary role of Vodou in the Independence War.
Well, I did not mean to be so long, but let me finish by suggesting to you, besides the bokk by Milo Rigaud, 2 other excellent, more recent readings by a leading sociologist in Haiti: Laennec Hurbon. The 2 books: Voodoo, Search for the spirits and Voodo: Truth and Fantasy: The first one is very colorful and contains wonderful illustrations of what the author explains about the origins of Voodoo, the differents spirits, the meaning of the signs, the rites etc. I highly recommend both of them which can be bought at Amazon.com.
On that note, my friend, I wish you luck. I hope you can get reconnected to you real roots, whether here, or Haiti, Jamaica, Brazil or else. It is the same, with a few variations.

Haitian American, I don't know who you are, but I can offer you this, you need to read "Les secrets du Vaudou" by Milot Rigaud. I want you to just understand this, since you were born here. When a country is underdeveloped or a part of the third world and the illiteracy is high where at least 15% know how to read and write, and the government doesn't really do anything to make them appreciate their culture, it's a disaster culturally talking. Also, you need to understand that voodoo is being embraced by mostly the poor haitians in one hand, and on the other hand, a lot of rich practice it but they don't want people to know, while a great number in the underclass try to follow the rich, because they ashame of this great part of our culture. I can keep going on and on about it, but, please go try to read the book, there is nothing scary about it or in it. Try to be open-minded about it and after that I would like to read what you have to say. Good luck

I am struggling here. I must say I was taken aback by the interest in the Haitian vodou culture. My birth place is in the US, my parents are Haitian. In my upbringing I was taught to fear vodou. My parents are Christians, but as a child I can recall them sharing stories of the lougawous who roamed and ruled the nights in Haiti, I'm sure they told the stories to get me to bed on time. I have great difficulty tolerating this part of my culture.
It feels so disconnected that I am not willing to accept it. I am not a religious person but I am not open to this at all.
Is this ignorant of me? Please respond.

As I post information about Marx Vilaire Aristide's funeral in New York for those who might be able to go to New York, a few final thoughts.
If anything, there is always something to come out of a tragedy, whatever its dimension. We mourn the death of Marx, but let us not look only at this moment in his life, but also at what he had time to accomplish in his short life, let us look at the whole picture. If you do, you will see that his was an inspiring, dynamic and focussed short life. If anything, as a tribute to Marx, let us all draw from his writings, his interviews, his dreams for Haiti and let us refocus our energies towards helping rebuilding our country, instead of engaging in the empty and endless polemics and pettiness I read on this forum. It is time to go to a higher level. Rony Guiteau's piece should provide us enough inspiration to engage on this path and pay proper tribute to Marx Vilaire Aristide, a Haitian patriot.
May his soul rest in peace!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 22, 2004
HAITIAN ACTIVIST AND LEADER, MARX VILAIRE ARISTIDE, PASSED AWAY ON JUNE 20, 2004
Haitian activist and leader, Marx Vilaire Aristide, passed away on June 20, 2004, at the prime of his life. His death was the result of a tragic car accident in Washington, D.C. Marx Vilaire Aristide, “No relation to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide,” as he would say, was born the second of three children in Gonaïves, Haiti, on March 26, 1967. He migrated to Brooklyn, New York during his teenage years. He later obtained a Bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and a Master’s in Economics from Howard University. Marx was a Research Economist with a wide array of experiences on issues pertaining to Latin America, West Africa, the Caribbean, and Haiti. Marx is survived by his daughter, parents, brother, sister, fiancée, as well as many other loving family members and friends.
If his life could be summed up, one might say that Marx dedicated his life to Haiti and its people. Using his extensive knowledge of Haiti and the Haitian peasantry, he worked for two years in the Haitian countryside to train community-based organizations that were engaged in groundbreaking microfinance initiatives. Marx wrote and lectured frequently on Haiti’s economy and quest for democracy on venues such as ABC’s Nightline, Washington DC’s WUSA TV9, PBS’ McNeil-Lehrer “By the People”, Pacifica Radio, and National Public Radio. Marx was also an accomplished author, having published critically acclaimed articles, such as “Haiti’s Popular Resistance” written with Laurie Richardson. Marx’s many professional achievements included serving as co-founder of Kalfou Kréyòl, co-director of the Quixote Center, Editor-in-Chief of Roots magazine, Executive Director of the Haitian-American Skill Share Foundation, co-Executive Director of Fondation Sémans, and former Executive Director of the Washington Office on Haiti. Along with Danny Glover and Ron Daniels, Marx was instrumental in organizing a cruise to commemorate the bicentennial of Haiti’s independence, which is scheduled for August 2004. That monumental endeavor, which has forged alliances between people of Haitian descent and those throughout the African diaspora, is yet another example of Marx’s life dedication to the empowerment of people of African descent.
Marx’s passion for his Ayiti Chérie (Beloved Haiti) was only matched by his love for his friends and family. Beyond his numerous professional accomplishments, Marx’s impact can be felt in each of those he left behind. He is remembered not only for his keen intellect and magnetic charisma, but also for his ability to see value in everyone. A devoted father, he showered his daughter with love and attention. A loving fiancé, his acts of kindness and affirmation still occupy the space he left behind. He gave respect and dignity to every human being—regardless of class, financial status or ethnic origin. He celebrated our lives, and with infectious laughter, taught us to appreciate them better. He made his time, resources, and love available to us, and unselfishly came to the rescue of many.
Marx’s zeal for life was exemplified by his hobbies—soccer, culture, and the arts. Marx is remembered as an avid soccer fan, whose love for the game came to life on many soccer fields where he played. Marx’s artistic talent will be sorely missed. He taught himself to play the guitar, and enjoyed writing cultural essays, poetry and plays –both in English and his native Haitian Kréyòl.
Marx’s true essence transcends these words and is embodied in his legacy—a legacy of dignity for all, empowerment of people of African descent, love of country, family, and friends. “Onè” (Honor), you told us, Marx; “Respè” (Respect), we respond.
A trust fund is being established for Marx’s 7-year old daughter. Pledges are being accepted at this time. Please forward your name and/or organization, contact information, and pledge offering to friendsofmarx@yahoo.com

By the way Grandefemme.....HSA planned to volunteer at the smithsonian festival after we are done with the KANAVAL. Right now we have so much in our plate that we barely have time to ourselves. We promised to help out after this weekend.

I would like to thank those of you who have answered the call for Smithsonian Festival.
The Festival officially starts tomorrow and goes through July 4th. Please make every effort to go there and welcome some of our brothers and sisters from Haiti.
Being a volunteer I can tell you that they (the Haitian artists) appreciate seeing Haitian faces. A lot of them have never been to Washington, DC, and they are surprise to find out that there's a community here, like New York and Miami.
Please come down and say "onè"

Hi All,
For all those who may not have heard, we have lost a dear and caring person who has made significant contributions to the DC metropolitan Haitian community, and has been a champion for the Haitian cause.
Yesterday, at around 11:50 pm, Marx Aristide, author, activist, and former Executive Director of the Washington Office on Haiti, died from severe complications following a fatal car accident on Saturday night. His fiancé, Geraldine Duval was also injured but has survived with God’s grace.
Please keep Marx and Geraldine’s families in your prayers. Also, I believe a special memorial service is being planned which will take place in the next few weeks. I will post information as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, take care and God bless.

I am Jean. I know in this haitian commnuty there are some very educated people but my questions to them, why they don't put their head together to publish a good neswpaper magazine. a few years back there were a couple of them health yourself, trait dUnion, haiti connection but they don't last. every haitian want to have his own thing, does his own thing. but those intellectuals who talk about big words why don't the do that. My opinion is that they prefer to stay away and talk about big things. Come on you can do it guys.

It has been a tough and challenging year to say the least. After the political developments in Haiti, earlier in the year, it seems that the air was taken out of the Bicentennial events.
However, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival staff, Diana, Marsha, Olsen, Patrick, Mirreille, and countless others, pushed forward with their planned Haiti 2004 celebration on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C.
As a volunteer, I had the opportunity last night to welcome many of the artists who will be representing Haiti and her culture. There is an excitement and pride coming back over everyone involved. I can feel an energy building as I look at the smiling faces of the participants, the presenters, and the volunteers.
There's is still a lot of work to be done before this festival can be considered a success. Many volunteers are still needed, if for nothing thing else, just to be there for our brothers and sisters from Haiti. We all could use a collective hug.
***please email me if you would like to volunteer or need more information. The Folklife Festival is in desperate need of volunteers (specially during the week). Those of you, or know of people out of school, please consider volunteering just one day.

I want to thank the community for its support of this idea. Unfortunately, it will not happen as soon as we would like. The manager of Rafrechi told me that the band felt it was not in the best interest of the group to engage in this project so shortly after their release party(marketing purposes). Underestanding that the best things come to those who wait, I want Rafrechi to know that we are practicing this conventional wisdom. Good luck, gentlemen!
Jean Claude, thank you for supporting the idea. It shows that we can still hope for a better community.

Alexanon Magazine wishes to congratulate Pierre Richard Torchenot not only on his latest take on what has been going on between the new bands “Trankill” and “Rafrechi” but also on his consistently intelligent point of view on the board.
We are delighted to witness this recent turn of events. We hope that more among us in this small Haitian community practice tolerance, forgiveness and acceptance of each other’s right of opinion. Alexanon Magazine will be proud to sponsor such event : “The Night of Togetherness” in the name of Unity, through ads on the magazine and on its website.
Congratulations also to Echod’Haiti on an outstanding job, Yves d’Haiti of “Konbit Lakay” for those 20 years of hard work and best wishes to both media. You guys put the first stone! We are following your steps in a collective effort to built a stronger, and a unify community.

A friend called me early this morning to tell me that I must respond to P.R.T's invitation for the "bal of togetherness".However I would also like to clear the air with certain things while I'm here.
I'm inviting every body here to read all my posts,and you'll realize that I never attack anybody or their business on this board.I only respond to those who are using this forum to attack me or my band.PLEASE TAKE NOTE.
Loune I don't know who this new Jean Claude is on the board,but rest assure that it's not me.
Remember that not to long ago somebody sign in as Smooches.
Jean Claude Vivens is no punk,when I sign in I include that I reside in Wheaton MD,my e- mail is jcvivens @ mris.com,and now F.Y.I my ph# is 240-463-7196.Sa poum fè la anko.
The reason that I was upset last week is because that something hit me,and I realize that this is no longer the same community that we used to serve.
J'ai eu l'impression qu'il y a des chimères parmis nous.
This is why I don't want to communicate here any more.I also come to realize that there are only a few people here on this board,they write under different names.That's the reality of this forum.May be I was a fool to expose my self here to the haters.WHY - WHY?
Why should I be part of this nonsense? Why should I bite the bullet all the time?.Why do some people take the pleasure of shooting at me
Smooches,Yves,Torchenot,Zephyr,Harold simply because they know who we are.
P.R.T,Rafrechi is new so this is all new to them, remember I played music with the greatests of the industry people like Fabrice Rouzier,Ti Polis,Ansyto Mercier and many more come on man.I promote the greatests band in the Haitian music industry come on again.Why would I have a problem with Rafrechi who's not even out yet.I only feel that this Apanou did something wrong to me.
I don't have a problem with Rafrechi or with any one else in the community,I already talk to their manager and everything is fine.I will be at their party,and we can do a good show together.
Rony you are right,How can we do that to Dessalines,Pétion,Christophe,Toussaint in 2004.What better present can we give them for the biccentennial other than peace.
Let's have the big PEACE party.
So you can add my name on the list
J C V is for peace.
P.S. WACAHAPA's representation at the D.C Caribbean Carnival this year is:"LE NEGRE MARON".It's a tribute to the first runaway slave.If you would like to receive a free "NEGRE MARON" T-Shirt for the carnival,contact me before Friday June 25th at (240)463-7196

It is pitiful! I am both infuriated and perplexed vis-à-vis the nocuous trend on which the board (site) is being embarked. What has promised to be a lighthouse to guide our collective consciousness toward togetherness and perhaps righteousness, seems to be unweariedly transforming into a forum of uncongenial and unscrupulous triviality. As a people and a community, we must continuously strive to resolve our disagreements via constructive dialogue, mutual understanding and respect. Above all, we should cultivate and learn to practice criticism and tolerance.
Infighting has damaged and continues to destroy not only our nation, but also, and to a certain extent, our values and cultural fabrics. Our bicentennial of independence, had it not been for some dedicated national and international personalities, would have passed by like an ordinary date similar to numerous others. Our leaders -- opposition and government -- were unable to transcend themselves, not even to observe a truce to commemorate that momentous and historical chapter in our national existence. Truthfully, our illness requires a painstaking “diagnostic”!
Whatever the metrics, a well deserved tribute should have been paid to our founding fathers. The political struggle -- what struggle should I murmur? -- could have resumed after that gesture of high civism, patriotism and respect for our ancestors. Unfortunately, it was not the case.
Is this the kind of behavior we want to exhibit, portray and depict on the board? My aim is neither to point fingers nor to reprimand. It is rather to call upon our sense of honor and integrity. By honoring and respecting each other’s point of view, we project images of greatness, humanness, self-esteem, civility and altruism.

In recent weeks, the Echodahiti.com family witnessed what was once a promise to blossom by 2 locally emerging bands degenerated into ugly feud. This experience is a poor reflection of us as a community and the bands. I would like to extend a public invitation to both Rafrechi and Trankill to look pass the shenanigans of others. I would like for both bands to collaborate their efforts in a " Bal of Togetherness" sometime in the near future. This collaboration will benefit our community as a whole. I would like for both Rafrechi and Trankill to publicly seize this opportunity to move forward in positive direction.

Anvan mwen di anyen lòt, lè map reli sa mwen ekri sou CD a, mwen jwen kèk erè nan tèks mwen an. Map eskize mwen, malgre mwen reli tèt mwen, gen kèk bagay ki pase kanmenm. Men, mwen swete sa pa anpeche nou konpran sa mwen ekri a.
Pandan map chache li tou sa ki te ekri nan semen anvan yo, mwen wè nan mwa me a, yon mwa mwen te okipe anpil, mwen pat gen tan li Echo D'Haïti ditou ditou, gen yon moun ki te mande yon kesyon sou J.C. Duvalier ak lekòl Saint-Louis de Gonzague. Mwen pa kwè li twò ta pou mwen ta bay yon ti enfòmasyon sou sa. Wi, mwen fè tout letid mwen nan Saint Louis de Gonzague. Wi, J.C. Duvalier te pase nan menm lekòl la, apre sa li te ale nan Collège Bird. Li te 3 pwomosyon apre mwen, kididonk mwen fini Saint Louis byen anvan misye. Mwen sonje li te toujou dènye nan klas li, men chak ane, ou te toujou wè li nan klas apre a.....Anfen se listwa. Si gen anpil bagay mwen konen, se byen gras a bon jan edikasyon mwen te resevwa nan lekòl sa. Pandan ke Saint Louis te bay, e li kontinye ap bay bon jan edikasyon nan peyi a, malerezman, fòk mwen di li bay yon pakèt gwo reyaksyonè nan peyi a tou: J.C. Claude Duvalier, Cedras, Biambi e gen anpil lòt ankò. Antouka, se la vi... Map kanpe la.

I fully agree with Yves Dayiti and I support him and congratulate him. This is the only thing that has managed to survive for so long in this community. Konbit Lakay has become a part of our community and for the entire community at large. American friends of mine as well as other nationalities have told me that they listen to Yves every Saturday night. One thing for sure, we have to admit that there are many ti vagabon and ti visieu nan Kominote-a. We have to denounce them. Many people want to take financial advantage of what they are trying to do even though they said that they are trying to help. Yves does not take money from no one. He is a true patriot and a true member of this community. If you guys and gals don't understand and appreciate that, you guys are dead wrong and do not like this community to move forward. Vagabon toujou ret vagabon.
Yves congratulations and keep on going. You are doing a great job.

This is a very ambiguous answer to very clear and simple question, Yves. Well, the idea of having learned from my mistakes is very encouraging, it shows that the probability of my advancement is quite good. But, what mistakes are you refering to? Disagreeing with you? Yves, 20 years is a long time whatever way you look at it. Unfortunately, you've made no positive difference, in fact, you could be held in part as an agent of cause for the decadence of this communtiy.
Le peuple, obviously you've transcended beyond the typical narrow-mindedness of some haitians. You can not expect the same for everybody. Good luck in your quest!

what's the difference,where is the difference,how are you different if you just answered that you are not for peace.
you are the same one who ask for peace in the midle east(cote moune ap tue moune)on the radio,but you are not for your peace in our community.
which one is harder to do.
no one died here, only maybe a few exchange of words and disagreements come on people, again nothing but ego ego ego.
who are we to judge others when in fact we are acting the same way.
some people,many people also said that they have seen your true colors too yves.it all depends yves.
we are out of the corridors now it's time to put the corridors out of us.

- Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 17:26:28 (EDT)
Le peuple, thank you very much. I had a long day today at work: meeting after meeting after meeting. Let me first start by saying that I have nothing personal against many individuals in the community. Of course as a person behind a microphone, people may like what I said or may dislike it. But that does not mean that they are my enemy. No on the contrary, I am always open to dialogue and coomunication. Many people do not know mw and they only go by what someone else told them while that someone else has had a beef with me. I think Pierre Richard has learned from his mistakes and has grown up considerably. Harold Charles is a member of this community like me or anyone else. from my personal observation, he is only interested in Harold Charles and no one else. And he thinks that he can outsmart everyone else. I may be wrong but so far that is what I have seen. I have nothing against him. I do not even know him that well to have a grudge against the man. For some others, that is another story. There is a proverb that says: "you can dress a donkey anyway you can, but comes midnight it will show you that you are dealing with a donkey". There are some individuals in this community who have proven to me their true colors despite giving them the benefits of the doubt. For that reason, I will never be associated or have any dealing whatsoever with them no matter what. They know very well who they are.
Regarding Sweet Mickey, I have nothing personnal against Sweet Mickey. he does not know me and I don't know him. But there is a minimum amount of respect that we owe one another. Mickey came here and on many occasions blasted me and even my mother. I nver said anything bad about the man. This is totally unacceptable and I will not go for it. For me to play Mickey's music, He has to come here and apologize publickly during one of his shows. Otherwise, I will never, ever play Sweet Mickey on my show. He has to understand that when you as an artist come to a community to perform, you do not mingle into that community's issues unless you know what is going on and are a member of this community. I respect him as an artist and he has to respect me as a Haitian and as a radio host.
So Le Peuple, I expect to see you on Saturday.

I have invited many people to look at this website and what is being done in the community. They would like to read and know what's going on in the guestbook but.....most is writen in creole. There are many Haitian-Americans who do not write or speak creole well enough to enjoy the fun in the guestbook. Please keep that in mind.

Hey Alexanon,
Before you post things and have us up in arms please do some research its as easy as "Google it"!!!!
Gang Initiation Warning in PG County, is an "Urban Legend"
Read below...
Flash Your Headlights and Die!
Netlore Archive: Resurgence of urban legend about aspiring gang members driving without their lights on and opening fire on oncoming drivers who flash their own headlights as a courtesy
Description: Urban legend
Circulating since: 1993/earlier
Status: False
Analysis: See comments
As told by Paul Hartwell, 11/20/97:
I heard this one about a year ago when I was living up in Seattle. The teller seemed to think it was happening at that time in and around the Pugetopolis, but that seemed unlikely to me. However, if the story were told in the context of, say, Los Angeles (or even New York, Chicago, Detroit, etc.) it would actually seem sort of plausible. Anyway, here goes:
The story is that a new gang initiation ritual has become prevalent in our city. The hoodlums pile in a car, at night, and drive the highways and byways with their lights off. The first person who 'flashes' them with their lights (in the time-honored gesture of 'hey, idiot, your lights are off!') becomes their prey. The gangbangers then pursue the samaritan and the initiate must gun him or her down without mercy.
Sounds like a myth, right? But do you suppose there is a kernel of truth to the rumor; that perhaps somewhere at sometime some thugs did, in fact, use this modus operandi?
Comments: Sounds like a myth and is a myth. Since the early '90s, this rumor has hit just about every major city in the U.S., but there are no documented cases of incidents exactly fitting this description occurring, except for an apparent copycat instance in Wichita in 1993 (cited in the AFU & Urban Legends Archive).
In late October of 1998, email versions of the "Lights Out" legend went into wide circulation, perhaps inspired by the popular horror film Urban Legend, in which it figured prominently. The email alerts sparked a new flurry of panicked inquiries to police departments in localities all over the U.S., most of which seemed to be familiar with the rumor but could not substantiate it.
John Moore, senior research associate at the National Youth Gang Center based in Tallahassee, confirmed for the Washington Post in November 1998 that the "Lights Out" story is, to his knowledge, false: "I know of no incident in the country where this type of thing occurred," he told the Post. "This is one of the wonders of the Internet, that you can take something that has no basis in fact and make people believe it."
A few law enforcement agencies, while maintaining that the rumor is false, were still recommending to the public to play it safe when driving in areas where gang activities take place. They probably feared that growing publicity would spark another copycat occurrence.
FYI

To all the members of the EchoDhaiti.com family:
In case some of you does not have a clue as to what I am talking about and for some of us with selective memory: my name is Yves and I am the host of the weekly haitian radio program: Konbit Lakay heard each and every Saturday from 10PM to Midnight on WPFW 89.3 FM radio in Washington DC. It has been 20 years since I have been offering my services to this community. It has not been easy and no one said that it was going to be a piece of cake. In appreciation of the support that I have received over the years from many of you especially from Gineau, I would like to extend this invitation to all the members of the EchoDhaiti family to an open studio house that we are having on Saturday June 19, 2004 from 9PM to 12AM in the local of the radio station located on 2390 Champlain Street in Washington DC in the heart of the Adams Morgan Community. Once again I am hoping to see many of you stopping by to say hello. I personally would like to say: "THANK YOU" to each and everyone of you.

Yes, there will be a float. By having a big band on the float, we will not be able to have a crowd on the float. Right now, (depending on how big the float will be), it will be HSA & Lakay Productions staff, the band, and our sponsors. This is only for RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! and some more THANK YOU to each and everyone one of you that came yesterday to get a CAR WASH. I don't even know how to say "THANK YOU" anymore. I could not believe the support that I saw yesterday. Yes, we, HSA, worked our a**** off but it was all worth it. We had a great support from the community. I was thrill and so happy. I didn't expect much because it was our first CAR WASH and mother nature (weather) was on PMS....lol
We washed our first car in the rain and it was "NIXON's" car. Se gade mwen gade mwen we nou envayi ak machine pou nou lave. It was traffic out there. Minm blan vin lave machine yo. I just could not believe it. We did raised some money. People were stopping by just to donate money. Yo pat minm bezwen lave machine yo. WE DID IT!!!
Get ready DC...this weekend will be a BLAST.
Friday night-----meet us at the SAHARA OASIS. Still our usuall friday night hang out. Minimum donation is $5. Vin pran ti plezi nou
Saturday night-----THIS IS IT. Vin chofe KANAVAL la. This will be our last fund-raising party before the KANAVAL. This is what we call "PRE-KANAVAL". Sahara Oasis with Master Konpa. $10 at the door. You know how we do it on PRE-KANAVAL. Please wear your red & blue and bring your flag. Let's represent BIG TIME. We will also have T-shirts on sale.

Good Morning my echo peeps....
Before I give you HSA's report for the weekend and this weekend update I want to say first....
It's sad to see how we can not get along in this community. We always find a way to bad mouth each other. Minm sou intenet nou bay kout lang. I am new in this entertainment business and I tell you se pou grin pou konbat anba mechan yo. Nou pa wont? Why can't we all have fun and still do our things at the same time. Why not support each other? What's wrong with that? Whynot be happy to see success among us? Gin le se mwen selman ki we bagay yo yon lot jen.
Aji and RAFRECHI....mwen fanatik nou tou de. You will NEVER see me take side or put one of you down. NEVER! I support both of you and will keep supporting the groups. Sak te gin tan gin la pou tout bagay sa yo? We are all in the same business. Aji pa kouri point finger. I can honestly say this is not RAFRECHI's style. Trust me!. I personally know them and not ONCE they've said anything bad about TRANKIL. Tout sa yo fe yo met TRANKIL ladan. Those guys are all about making music and getting ready for July 3rd. I think it will be very STUPID of them pou yo ta paret la sou board vin pale TRANKIL mal. Li pa tap yon smart move. So pa kouri di se RAFRECHI. Pa pense se pran map pran pou yo non. I would have said the same for you aji. I know you and RAFRECHI personally and know what you (both) are capable of. This is uncall for. Aji ou pa bezwen kite board la pou sa.
Remember this is an internet world. It's nothing but characters in here. Surtout jen site sa ye. Anyone can come and sign in under any name pou yo fe dega. I bit you anything moun sa se den li lap griyin ni sou ou ni sou RAFRECHI. Don't let this get over your heads. Depi sou intenet sou sipoze aten ou ak ki ninpot tintin. That's just the way it is on the internet. Gade sa yo te fe'm. Yon ki te gin kek bagay ave'm that I didn't even know about te soti pou li detwi repitasyon'm sou board la. But you all know me and knew what I am capable of doing. Anybody can be "smoochees" in here pou yo vin fe dezod.
You guys "POZE" tande. pa kite "HATER" vin met dezinyon pami nou. Big BIGGER and show this "APANOU" (who ever he is) that nou pa pran nan maniget li (smile)

For those who rant all day about foreign troops in Haiti but aren't willing to put in the work that they are doing. Here is a peice of an article:
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - With thousands of flood victims in Haiti awaiting food and drinking water, aid agencies said they are struggling to reach isolated villages and urged U.S.-led peacekeepers to keep offering helicopters for relief shipments
More than a week after troops stopped ferrying shipments by helicopter, the forces made an exception Thursday, dispatching a U.S. Army Chinook on three trips to the hard-hit southern town of Mapou with more than 16 tons of food and water, officials said.

Jean Claude,
This Apanou is a new kid on the block. I am not the one you had the beef with before. I would have been man enough to tell you that's me. KI SA POU'M TA PE LA. Do you really think that I would check all the screennames on the board before I post a message? NOPE. This is actually my 3rd time posting on this board which is also my last because I'm not use to this kind of non-sense.
You are playing mind game right now to discredite the group... TOO BAD... RAFRECHI is too busy rehearsing for July 3rd, we don't have time for negativities and childish games. We always praise the goods. Ask smooches, she would tell you. We only have love for TRANKILL Big man.
Right now, your old pal Apanou is probably laughing at you. POZE Jean Claude. Ou bezoin yon ti RAFRECHI pou cool you down. As a matter of fact, the group TRANKILL already has a reserve table for our 1st performance.
Good bye Jean Claude, you just dial a wrong number. Keep searching. We don't want to take that route with you.
In RAFRECHI "WE DON'T HATE, WE CONGRATULATE."
Peace and love ...... Good Bye my people.....

Today I'm writing to sign off on echodhaiti.com
It's not because of pastè Anmwé,but because of Apanou who on JUNE 09,2004 at 23:43:48 ((EDT)identify himself as a member of the band RAFRECHI.
Finally I'm tired of the little games that are being played here on echo.
I've never attack anyone or their business in this forum,I only take the time to shed the light on misunderstanding and matters that concern me.I use this forum to interact with you as a community like saying happy birthday to a lovely lady. I use it to remind you of the JCV activities and also to bring you a little music/football news.
I hope that my contribution has been well recieved by many,but just like Serge Bellegarde I'm walking away from this forum.
There was no reason for Apanou who now say that he is a musician of RAFRECHI to attack me on echodhaiti after the first TRANKILL show.That's low.
In music my man, if you want to compete,you should do it with good konpa not with negative words on echodhaiti.
I'm always nice to the members of RAFRECHI,I gave four VIP tickets to DJ WOOLADO for the group to attend the first TRANKILL show at Napoli on April 10,2004.
On April 12 just 2 days after my band's very first show 3 gentlemen by the names of Gilbert Cantave ( a false name),Arthur and APANOU(who obviously used my courtesy ticket) try their very best to kill me and my music project here on echodhaiti. That's not fair.
Now ladies and gentleman of the JURY,I invite you to scroll down to Monday, April 12,2004 at 15:33:47(EDT)to read the posting of Apanou(who is also Arthur)in respond to someone by the name of keke who had a positive remark about my show.
Check out his writing style,he doesn't know how to use the é-à-è,he also don't write the city/state.Unlike chaviré (another Rafrechi member) who had some kind words for TRANKILL,Apanou doesn't write his email adress.
I'm not blaming all the members of the group for the action of one person,but I have every right to watch my back because I don't know which one of the five is APA NOU , APA OU, APALI or APAYO.
I demand an apology from the responsible and caring members of the group,and hope that they can find out who among them is the bad apple.
Anything else will mean that Rafrechi's mission is one that stats with a sour note.I also hope that this community can always remember who cast the first stone.

Did you folks know that Haiti is the theme for this year's Smithsonian Folklife festival? The Smithsonian is honoring our culture for two weeks and not a word is being spoken about it. Millions of dollars are being spent to display our "beloved" culture right here in the heart of this cummunity. Jean Claude Vivens, have you mentioned anything about this to your audience? Yves Dayiti, have you shared any of this with your listeners?
Did the "Haitian Empowerment Movement" end at the "march" for haitian empowerment better known as "la marche du desespoir"?

I didnt say I was a Saint, that's why I carry the Bible to help my soul. That's one sin that just might take me to hell.
I'm working on it though. Pray for me.
I got a little devil in me, and a lot of Haitian.
They always get me in trouble.
See you in hell.

Anmwé now go to your bible and find this:LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.
Who the hell are you to preach the gospel when on Tuesday "you" yes "you" the same "you" were saying I hate him.
La Bible nous dit:Aime ton prochain comme toi même.

Red Cross Provides Ongoing Support in Haiti, Dominican Republic
Written by Lesly Hallman , Staff Writer, RedCross.org
Monday, June 07, 2004 — The American Red Cross continues to support rescue efforts in Haiti and the Dominican Republic after heavy rains killed at least 2,000 people in late May.
Officials continue to tally the human and economic toll of the disaster. Most of the dead were in Haiti, where at least 1,000 people were killed and 1,600 are still missing.
You can help those affected by the flooding in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and countless other crises around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance, and other support to those in need. Donate online or call 1-800-HELP NOW or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish). Donations can also be mailed to your local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.

Ignorance can't be an excuse. And it will not be pardoned.
Principle of Judgment #1: The moral man is rendered inexcusable before God the righteous Judge.This verse is talking about a person who is passing judgment on another, condemning the actions of another. Hence, it is talking about the moral person (the person with moral discernment, the person who passes a moral judgment on someone). There is a difference between the moral man and the heathen man. In Romans 1:32 the heathen man APPROVES and APPLAUDS sinful conduct but in Romans 2:1 the moral man DISAPPROVES and JUDGES sinful conduct.
The moral man condemns another for sinful conduct but since he himself is guilty of the same thing he is in effect condemning himself.
Principle of Judgment #4: Men should not run away from God (v.3 -- "escape" is impossible) but they should run to God (v.4 -- "repentance" is essential).
Goodness = kindness, Generosity. God’s goodness extends to all men (see Matthew 5:45 and Acts 14:17).

RAFRECHI is a digital band with 5 musicians, but we still have room for more dedicated musicians. We play a sweet kompa with an R&B twist at times. A lot of people already labelled us as DJAZZ DOUSSS. We are working very hard to bring you much fun on July 3 ... This is an event you can't afford to miss... See you at the party... Make sure you introduce yourself to us because we will be looking for La Belle Sonia.
Mama, thank you for stopping by last weekend. How do you like RAFRECHI's demo CD?
Smooches, "Happy Birhday". I command you. You and your girls are doing all the right stuffs for this year's carnival. The community needs more girls like you to represent. Good luck at the Carnival! You already know our spot on Georgia. Let us see you when you passing by.

You said it your self: "I've been to your house".
My house is not grand central station,it's not metro center.Therefore you must be someone I consider as a friend because very few people have been to my house.
Just this Tuesday you said it yourself and let me quote you my friend: "I hate him,he is a wack".
I can't expect you to see the light or the point I'm trying to make because you are covered with hatred.It's only unfortunate that this is the only place in this community where YOU can hide to throw your rocks.Epi sé ou men'm kap jigé'm tou patnè.
Grandfemme is innocent Anmwé you are NOT.
You've been calling me all sort of names here.Fine,I only have one for you:INGRAT.
Once again there is a difference between "giving a dime" and "organizing a fund raising".Anyone can give a dime ,but it takes skills,time and responsible people to take charge of lagen pèp la.That's the only point I'm trying to make.

This has got to be the worst natural disaster to ever hit Haiti.

You are dodging the bullet, you are a shifty man. Stand your ground don’t try to change. You said what you said and regret it and now you are trying to change, it’s in black and white. It's been permanently stained in my memory, turncoat. Stick to your guns, don’t give in. You’re feeling a little guilty, huh. Breaking down "a word" (duty), just to prove your point, seems like desperate measures. Stop clinging on to it, the rope is getting tighter, don’t you feel it. Don’t be ridiculous, no one is asking you to get the Pope to change your tires, you are being silly. No one is asking you to empty out your bank account and no one personally asked you for anything. It was a simple concern about contributing to victims in Haiti. Ampi dats it.
You gave us an address, thank you.
That’s all you had to do, keep your nonsense to yourself. Sarcastic comments only push people’s buttons, so you will get a reaction.
Mama said; if you can't say anything good don't say anything at all…
Haitian-American said a percentage of an event, not the whole kitten-kaboodle. If you can’t handle it, take your own advice and don’t make any comments at all.” People should know where they are strong and bring their knowledge to that end” Jean Claude Vivens.
Again another one of your bright ideas…,"However I don't think that WE the poor D.C entertainers should be the one raising money for the victims of the flood" Jean Claude Vivens. My, you are so eloquent.
I’ve been to your house, you can’t spare a dime.
"Jesus saw a poor widow. She put two small copper coins into the box. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth. This poor widow gave only two small coins. But she really gave more than all those rich people. The rich people have plenty; they gave only what they did not need. This woman is very poor. But she gave all she had. And she needed that money to help her live"." Luke 21
Let see, was it her "duty" to give to the poor?

People please.
Let me say it again IT'S NOT MY DUTY.
Does that mean that I don't care,that I don't love my country,that I don't love my fellow Haitians. NO.
Artists can contribute,can perform free, can show support,but it should not be their duties to take CHARGE of flood victims.
I don't expect the politicians to sing konpa on top of the float on carnival day,I don't expect the priest to fix my car,nor do I expect the mechanic to deliver my baby.
People should know where they are strong and bring their knowledge to that end. One of the problems in our society is that too many of us refuse to say that "they don't know" when in fact they don't know something.
Pa mété you doctè minis travo piblic,épi you agronom minis santé piblic épi you ingéniè minis agrikilti,jis paské sé moun paw fok ou bali you plas minis.SISPAN'N.
Nous pouvons aider,apporter notre soutien,mais on ne doit pas nous demander de faire le travail des organisations de bienfaisance.Cela revient à des organisations telles la Croix Rouge international,la Croix Rouge Haitienne et au gouvernement.Les citoyens peuvent bien contribuer,aider, mettre la main à la pate mais le soin d'organiser des collects de fond pour les victmes doit se réserver à des organisations à but non-lucratifs comme l'église catholique.

Poor my a**. Poor is the people in Haiti who don't have a goud to their name and have to drink from dirty pipes in the filthy, muddy roads of Haiti. That's poor! Why is he passing the buck! That's what I hate about Haitians they are always passing the buck and waiting for some one else to take the lead whenever it comes to helping out the community. But when there is a bal or Kanaval everyone is fighting to take charge! Of course this is our duty! This is the duty of every last Haitian person weather "poor" or "rich" in America or France we all need to put our resources together and help out. I hate him! He is WACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for answering my questions. I now understand what HSA mission is. As far as what Mr.Vivens said about it not being our duty to support Haitians in Haiti and the relief fund. It has always been strange to me how I as a Haitian-American feel a duty towards Haiti and those who were born there do not feel that same sense of having to help. I would suggest that some of the $ recieved should go toward some kind of donation to the relief fund. Remember the tables could be easily turned and we could be them and them us.
Anyway I will try to support HSA in any way that I can see you all at the Kanaval!!!
PS. Another great suggestion :) I think that at the carnival you should prepare fliers to advertise the many great things our community offers so that others can join.

We all love our country and sympatize to what happen to our brothers and sisters in Haiti.However I don't think that WE the poor D.C entertainers should be the one raising money for the victims of the flood. We can contribute off couse, but no one should make us feel that it's our duty.This should be the job of the political activists, the politicians,the red + and other organizations of that nature.Don't ask your travel agent to fly the jet.
This is the caribbean carnival month in Washington D.C,our job is to raise money to represent Haiti at the competitive caribbean parade.
This year Wacahapa did not recieve any money from individuals,we did not do any fundraising parties neither.No one besides our members and sponsors can say that they contribute to the carnival fund.
I think that HSA is doing a good job so far.Bringing a band from elsewhere for the carnival is not an easy task.We did that with KOUDJAY in 2002,and I know what's ahead for HSA,especially the day of the parade.
We are trying our best to help them because after all it's one love, one flag, one country, one nation.

To answer your last question, HSA is all about serving our community. Bringing fun to you all. We are young professionals in the area who are trying to make a difference. We are all about putting our heads together and make things happen min this community. One of our big projects this year is the KANAVAL. We took it upon our selves to represent our country to the fullest. From now on HSA will be doing KANAVAL every year. We also have other events that we are involve in. For example, picnics, cultural events, and fund-raising parties. We love and enjoy what we do. We put all of our efforts and heart to please our community.

Get ready people. This is going to be one to remember. We have lots to do till June 26th. We desperately need your support. We are doing this for you and only you. All we ask back from you guys is your support. HSA along can not do it on our own. We took a responsibility, we say we will do this, we made promises, therefore we owe it to you guys to deliver and we will. It's hard work and I thought this was going to be a piece of cake....Map kon joj (smile). Like I said we are doing this for our community, you guys, and our country. We need you behind us to a 100%. We have no time left. All deals have been made with the band so we must move forward. GET READY DC!!!
We are still having our friday fund-raising at Sahara. Come out and show your support. My team and I are down there every friday night, even when it's pouring down. Nou gin yon responsabilite nan min nou so we can not be playing around. Thank God for the rest of HSA team. They are keeping me together. Many time I came that close to give up telman mwen te dekouraje and one of member said to me: "Farah, mwen ta pito pran machine mwen dekore li en rouj e bleu lage'l sou georgia a nap soti pou kanaval sa kan meme"....WOW! that was too touchy for me. There's no way I could have turned my back to them. She brought my spirit back. We need more people like her. Each and every one of them are devoted to this. They said DC wants KANAVAL and we are going to give them one to remember.
We will be in College Park with CAM TRANSFER this Sunday in front of the fire station by the university washing cars to raise money. The cost is $10 per car and TRUST me, you will get a hell of a WASH. Hey HSA in booty shorts.....se pa blag non. Map tan nou tout. Bring your car and show us your support.
T-shirt for sale will be available soon. The color this year (as usual) will be red, blue and white. Neg maron 1804 will be in the front and the back will have our info (HSA/TOP VICE/LAKAY PRODUCTIONS). Will keep you update.

It was a very nice interview. 3 of the HSA memeber along with HSA's president went down to the station and spoke to our community. If you missed it, tune in this Saturday night at 10pm.

Besides the Christian Community, any of you party animals contributing towards the relief fund concerning the flood in Fond Verrettes. I havent heard a thing yet. How about a percentage of the funds collected for Summer Fest 2004 going towards the relief fund. I usually dont party, however for a good cause like raising money for the flood victims, I'll come out and support. "The Red Cross estimates that as many as 10,000 people urgently need food, drinking water and basic relief items." I think its going to take everyone's involvement to make a difference.
~Kisa'ou panse??
BTW, Can someone compile a listing of all the Haitian owned businesses in the community and post it. I'm all about supporting my Haitian brothers and sisters. Thank you.
Peace and Blessings,

Floods Kill 500 in Haiti, Dominican Republic
By Joseph Guyler Delva
FOND VERETTES, Haiti (Reuters) - Floods and mudslides have killed more than 500 people in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, many of them swept to their deaths when rain-swollen rivers burst their banks, authorities in the two neighboring Caribbean countries said on Tuesday.
In the hard-hit Haitian town of Fond Verettes, floodwaters rose from a previously dry riverbed and swept through the streets, washing away buildings or burying them under tons of rock and gravel. At least 158 people were killed in the town of 40,000, local officials said.
The rest of the article can be found on Yahoo.com. Prayers for the grieving families.

Lè pouchon di ké saa té sipozé gnou féstival konpa é pi li viré do li,li vlé di ké Kassav pat dwé fèmen cho wa.
Fanatik éksité voyé boutey dlo,boutey biè sou stage la san rété.Kassav yo menm pa santi ké yo konfortab pou yo monté nan sitiyasion sa yo, sé sa ki fè Kassav pa jwé.
Té gen an pil lobèy back stage.

Bravo to T.Vice-Carimi & Konpa Kréyol I think that those groups can really take the konpa to another level.They didn't just play music they put on a show with dancers-enfin BEL BAGAY. NO DIOL TO TALK.

Grandefemme, the festival was a success besides the fact that it started late and finished before the time predicted. There was some technical difficulties as far as setting up the stage, that's what took so long. Then KASSAV did not have a chance to play, it was supposed to be the last group to perform. Well, to tell you the truth, I don't even think the musicians were there. Also, because of that, things have started to get ugly, since the police corps was present, they made everybody leave the park. After all, it was nice, all the other bands did their part with nice performance.

"map swiv,
Did you actually beleive that Haiti was going to be crime free in two months? That will never be possible. One thing I would invite you to think about is: JBA had a system that was working. That system was not acting in the interest of the majority, but it was producing fruits that JBA wanted i.e produce chimeres, create heatred between groups, and destroyning our infrastructures. "
Wow!! Chimeres/"Freedom Fighters"/"Elites" new name for macoutes. "Hatred between groups" Wow! again. Is that like neg potoprens and neg nan mon? the "elite" and the masses? the educated and the non? the dyapora and the "true Haitian"? JBA created that? Wow! and they said he did nothing for the country.
Infrastructure?? I'm sure that was a typo. I won't even respond to that. I'd be surprised if that word has EVER been spoken in Haiti, without being followed by laughter or confusion.
"The new government has to stop these practices: juge some people who commited crimes, provide for a people that has no job, no profession and no clear understanding of how to solve their problems. I may add that the government found no money to tackle these problems. I really beleive, as haitians, our work should be to help the government to be successful. This government did not force JBA to take the direction he took. We need to stop complaining about what the government has not been able to do so far. We need to start offering advice, so Haiti can see a better day. I know you are on Moun.com, Latortue is asking for advice, if you have a point that you think is useful, bring it forth. "
Judging people? Latortue called the "rebels" "freedom fighters." They were neither. Haitian government without money. Wow! When was the last time the Haitian gov't HAD money, maybe we should ask Jean Pierre Boyer. Stop complaining and help the gov't succeed? Wow! what a concept, maybe we should have done that FOUR years ago. By the way I am not on moun.com. Echo is my only love.
"There is no magician that could do what you are asking Latortue to do in that short period of time and without any money. Do you know that Boniface will not even go to Archaie pour la fete du drapeau because he thinks the little money that they have should be spent repairing the General Hospital. I think this is a good example of priority. It looks to me that you have some sense, use it."
Wow!Wow!Wow! Boniface won't take a vacation to Archaie. We should save, what? 100? 200? gourdes? that should feed the whole population of Archaie.
I was raising a question about whether what happened was worth it. Whether we are trully heading in a new direction or whether we just have a new driver.

As we may now reflect on what happened earlier this year, it is a black eye for democracy and Haitian pride. What have we accomplished with the turnover of the gov't? Let's for argument sake say the Lavalas party was corrupted and killing people, can we honestly say that these things have stopped? no one is dying? and there's no more corruption?
We let outsiders overinfluence our thinking and manipulate us into this mess we're in right now. We are an occupied land, with apologies to Toussaint, Dessalines, and Christophe, with a puppet gov't. May our ancestors forgive us, again.

Here is part of an article:
Haiti to review suspect telecoms contracts signed by Aristide government
Asia Intelligence Wire
The Telecommunications Company [Teleco] is preparing to review the contracts signed with second-level international companies within the framework of the distribution of international calls. The director-general of Teleco has denounced the former regime, which made a lot of money by granting preferential rates to some foreign companies which were reselling services to big companies. Teleco Director-General Rene Meronney explained as follows:
[Meronney - recording, in Creole] What the people need to know is that the former regime did not exactly receive money directly from Teleco's account or from the company itself. What happened was that to transfer international calls to Haiti, with big companies such as AT&T, MCI and Bell Canada, for example, the Telecommunications Company signed contracts with them. Teleco sets the price of the calls at 23 cents a minute. And in the case of the former regime, they signed contracts with some lower-level international companies and let them pay six cents a minute [to Teleco]. And these sub-companies then resold the minute for 16 or 18 cents. So now, these small companies made a profit of about 12 cents a minute and shared this money with the former regime.
Legally speaking, we can say that these intermediary companies have a legal contract which stipulates that they have to pay six cents per minute. But they in fact sell the minutes for a lot more than that and the profit is shared between them. And this brings a lot of money for them. But they only pay six cents to Teleco.

Taco,
Don't play. Ave'w is one of my favorite. If RAFRECHI can pull this one in their repertoire, I guess the singer is good. Because not every singer can sing that song.

This movie is about Jean Dominique. Every Haitian must see this movie. It's showing at the E St. Cinema 555 11th St. NW; Tel:(202) 452-7672. Time: F-S 12:30, 2:40, 5:10, 7:20, 9:30
The Agronomist • by director Jonathan Demme
Owner of Haiti's only free radio station, Haitian national hero and freedom fighter Jean Léopold Dominique clashed with his country's various repressive governments and spent much of the 1990s in exile in New York. Following the reinstatement of a democratically elected government, director Jonathan Demme filmed Dominique's triumphant return to Port-au-Prince in 1994. Dominique's still-unsolved assassination in 2000 moved Demme to assemble over a decade's worth of footage to create a testament to an indefatigable man and his legacy who thought of himself chiefly as a simple man of the countryside, an agronomist.

For All Us Moms Out There...
This is for all the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here."
For the mothers who walk around the house all night with their babies when they keep crying and won't stop.
This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.
For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween costumes. And for all the mothers who DON'T.
This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see. And for the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes.
This is for all the mothers who froze their buns off on metal bleachers at baseball games Friday night instead of watching from cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see me?" they could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it.
This is for all the mothers who yell at their kids in the grocery store and swat them in despair when they stomp their feet like a tired 2-year old who wants ice cream before dinner.
This is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and explained all about making babies.
And for all the mothers who wanted to but just couldn't.
For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year. And then read it again. "Just one more time."
This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their shoelaces before they started school. And for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead.
This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot.
This is for all mothers whose heads turn automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at home.
This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach aches, assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to get calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up......right away.
This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the words to reach them.
For all the mothers who bite their lips sometimes until they bleed - when their 14 year olds dye their hair green.
What makes a good Mother anyway?
Is it patience?
Compassion?
Broad hips?
The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time?
Or is it heart?
Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?
The jolt that takes you from sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2 A.M. to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?
The need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you hear news of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?
For all the mothers of the victims of all these school shootings, and the mothers of those who did the shooting.
For the mothers of the survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, hugging their child who just came home from school, safely.
This is for mothers who put pinwheels and teddy bears on their children's graves.
This is for young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation.
And mature mothers learning to let go.
For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers.
Single mothers and married mothers.
Mothers with money, mothers without.
This is for you all.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

I believe they will be starting around noon but THEATRE LAKAY will be performing from 3:00pm - 3:40pm. We will be doing 5 dances....."SALUTATION"..."CONGO"..."HAITIANO AFRICANDO"..."ISLAND FOLLIES"..."ALLO KOMANDEN". It's free show so please come and represent HAITI.

Last night by a special invitation, EchodHaiti.com was invited to a meeting with the Smithsonian Institute Folklife Festival. This year's festival is in part about Haiti and her culture.
They are in the latest stages of planning and development and are reaching out to the Haitian Diaspora for some help.
I was surprised and happy to find that there are many Haitians involved in the planning; Olsen Jean-Julien (architect), Patrick Vilaire (artist), Patrick Delatour (architect), Marsha Michel (planning) and many others. They still need some funding and volunteers.
I was happy to tell them that EchodHaiti have a very inergetic and culturally involved following, and that I believe that we will help make this a celebration of our culture.
Please email Olsen at: jjolsen@si.edu or call him at: 202-275-2026
Please email me at: webmaster@echodhaiti.com for more information.
I believe in this project, and I think it will be a tremendous celebration of our culture and our bicentennial.
Haitian Flag day is May 18
The festival is June 23 to July 4.
DC Caribbean Carnival is June 26
T-Vice is July 10
It will be a great summer to just celebrate us, like many of us had planned.

"the real" Smooches
Last week I made a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. You may have been told that I was jealous or angry that is not the reason. I know the person very well and still do. From what I have heard HSA works very hard at their events and mission. I as part of the public thought you should be aware that not everyone that you are just cool with should receive credit for your hard work. I did not ask you to take anything down you chose to, because you agreed with me. I respect people who take time out of their personal agendas for the cause of the Haitian people.
This should be a learning lesson for you and your organization.

I have always believed in the balance and the duality of things, be it physical or metaphysical. We live in a universe that is sustained by a numerosity of entities, and this understanding has lead to appreciate the different types of personalities and beings, passive or otherwise. Echodhaiti.com should not be different from any other agency. Positive and negative compliment each other, so I welcome the pair as a match. As Curious asked the question about Sweet Micky, I can not help bet use him as an example to articulate and solidify that point. Normally, Haitian society tends to be very reserved, so most people conform as such. Sweet Mickey's radicalism however, sets him apart from most, also is the key to success. Where I am getting at is, a healthy dose of the opposite of what we perceive as good is not necessarily bad. So we should welcome some level of radicalism to balance Echodhaiti. But when hatred and envy are stronger than adulation, when negative blossoms over positive, I think we have a problem. We have a flood of characters signing on Echo just to attack others. Underminig the hard work and hard earned money of Ginau, Jean Michel, and the Echodhaiti is unacceptable. Some of you are using their creation as an avenue to spew your filth. I am ashamed. I prayed heaven long time ago for serenity in order to deal with the things that I can not change, but my batteries are running low. So, I will observe from time to time and post as necessary. Is it any wonder why we find ourselves in the mess we are in! Good night.

I have been going to Micky's party for quite a while in DC. The last one, I was a bit surprised to see that the level of interest in Micky's party has extremely been down. I tried to convince 3 friends to go with me. They emphatically said "No". One of them even told me "enough of Micky". As you can see in Zanzibar, it was not packed. I phoned a few friends in NY and in Florida, I got the same reaction. One of them even told me that if I have not noticed that Micky can no longer plays alone. He has to have another band playing with him. In New York, last Friday Micky had to play with Kompa Kreyol at SOB and yet things were not that great for the promoter. What is going on with Micky? any answer?

No one really cares who the organizer is,what matters to the public is the artist.
People don't go to a party for Ceepco,JCV,Lacay,Zephyr,Jojo Locker or any other big promotor in N.Y or FL.People go because it's Miki,T.Vice,Tropic,Tabou,Kassav,Carimi,New Look,Djakout.If any one think they are big try to bring a band like Gran Pan Pan here.

Harold, We all have been enjoying the parties being organized by Ceepco. One thing: stop this non sense about the numbers. I do not think people care about them. Having a good time, is their motivation.
My first observation is that "Fille Charmante" should be forgiven for having the courage to apologize. This is a very rare commodity in our culture. For me, someone like "C'estMoi" has played the moralist role here by defending the integrity of the site and that of the haitians. If it was not for her, "Fille Charmante" would not probably come forward. She elevated the debate with grace.
My other one is that there are people like C'estMoi, Natacha, L'argentin, John Paul and a few others whose postings on the board invite people to read. Their postings are thoughtful and assertive. This reflects well on us haitians.

Fillecharmante,
I am glad that you finally came out of the dark. I will not go into detail with you either but one thing I will say is that YOU ATTACKED ME and YOU ATTACKED MY KIDS/MY DAUGHTER. So I had to come back harder on you. You just got what you deserve. Si'w te fe respe'w sa pa tap rive la. Till this day I have no caused you any harms. I've respected you on HC. You decided to have your fun and attack for no reason. Apran sa pou yon fwa. Le wa'l nan guerre se veye zo'w paske yo ka pati ak bo tet ou. If you could not take the heat se pou te ret nan wol ou. I don't know you so why involve my kids in your BS?
Don't come here and try to show echodhaiti that I have done something so bad to you. NOT TRUE AT ALL. As you can tell THEY ALL KNOW ME IN HERE. You should have copy and paste what you wrote about me and my kids. Then post my reply to you. YES, you are the biggest coward and iporkrit. Ou foure zo nan goj mwen mwen vomi'l ba ou. Take this experience as a lesson. Pa jenm ennwiye moun ki pa fe'w anyen. Paske wap jwen ak zo gren ou.
Here we are all professional and civilize people. This is not HC. So take your crap back to HC. We do not need people like you in here. Bo isit la nou pa manje anyen ki fret.
So long madame....

Come on Harold, do not play the stupid number's game with people. Many of us were there and easily realized how many of us came. Would you please stop it? We came to enjoy ourselves and that is it. Who care whether 250 people showed up or 650? and much more when there was not even close to the number that you gave. It makes you look bad.

fille charmante,
I was speechless before, but now I'm in awe. A Haitian apology is extremely rare, and I applaud you for your sincere one.
Many of us here are anonymous and don't want our business out there. We happen to know Smoochees through Echodhaiti and I for one care about this site. What Smoochees is or is not in her personal life or other site should remain there.
I applaud you and the webmaster for handling the situation. Hope to hear more (positives) from you.

Good morning to you all
I am the person who had been posting those thing about smoochess. Actually they are her word, all I did was cut and paste it here. I wanted you guys to see how evil, vulgar and nasty smooches is, but some how you guys are blind and fail to see my point. Anyway I just wrote a long post to smooches on HC (I will not get into details) I just want to say I apology to you guys and the webmaster of EchodHaiti. I don't know any of you the same way you guys don't know me. I am not a coward and will never be a coward, that is the reason I am writting this note to you all. Posting these betiz was inappropriate, the reason I did that was because smoochess said a lot of mean thing about my mom who past a couple of yrs ago. I thought it was a nasty thing to do and I wanted to get even. I see that she denied writting these post, if that what make her feel good then that is fine with me.
Thank you,
Fille Charmante

A peice of an interesting article:
Seventy wealthy Haitians and Haitian-Americans are launching the island nation's first investment bank, setting their sights on modest returns to give priority to projects that will benefit Haiti's poor masses.
PromoCapital hopes to spend up to $150 million in Haiti over the next two years, says Henri Deschamps, a prominent Port-au-Prince printing and media executive who will chair the bank.
"People are quite fed up with Haiti being in constant upheaval, as are we. You have to go and try to make it better," he says. "Globally, the place looks like it's a shambles, but in fact individual businesses are slugging it out and succeeding."
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world. It is chronically dependent on aid from the United States, World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, along with an estimated $800 million sent home annually by Haitian exiles working abroad.

Par quelle mouche cette personne s'est fait elle piquee en utiliseant ce forum pour attaquer quelqu'un d'autre? Si vous avez un probleme avec "Smooches", ayez le courage de l'affronter directement. N'essayez pas, en faisant usage d'un software traducteur, d'ecrire en francais pour debiter la crudite de vos oignons.
Vous devez savoir que tout "Web Site" est lu internationalement. Tout ce qui se dit sur ce forum, quelle que soit la langue utilisee, a directement un impact sur NOUS, Haitiens. Jamais, ne pensez que ce que vous dites ici sur ce forum, reste dans les communautes de Washington, DC, de Maryland et de Virginie.
Pour l'etroitesse et la petitesse de votre cerveau, sache que, c'est bien le contraire. Quelqu'un en Asie, en Afrique, en Oceanie, en Europe pourrait actuellement en train de cliquer et lire nos messages sur Echodhaiti. Montrons aux autres que nous sommes civilises, en depit de nos divergences de vues et de nos lacunes.
Je ne suis pas en train de defendre "Smooches". Ce que vous avez contre elle, si c'est personnel, ne me (nous) regarde pas. Mais en tant qu'Haitienne, je ne veux pas voir defiler sur ce forum des torchons sales. De plus, l'usage d'un Francais honteux qui viole toutes les regles syntaxiques. Je vous en prie, a l'avenir, pensez a nous autres, avant de vous lancer dans des entreprises qui n'auront aucun effet, sauf qu'a nous avilir.

I agree with Alma this board is suppose to be about positivity. I don't know "the real Smooches" personally but I know she cares or else there would be no HSA. If this person were a real "man or woman" they would confront her personally and not blast her on echodhaiti. And including her name shows NO CLASS and if you were trying to show some by writing your posting in french it didn't work !!

Dear friends,
As you all know I've been on this site and other sites as "smoochees". All my friends know me as "smoochees". It seems to me that someone has some personal issues with the name "smoochees", which is landmark. As of today I decided to offcially drop "smoochees" as my screen name. Anything else posted on this board under that screen name will not be from me.
For my friends and those who cares....STAY TUNED!!!
Moun sa frape'm du.....li frape'm nan pwin sensib mwen which is ECHODHAITI.COM
To that person....DO NOT THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT I AM RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU. LIKE I TOLD YOU I WILL ALWAYS REMAIN "smoochees" ON A HIGH LEVEL. I AM ME MOI AND NOT AN INTERNET CHARACTER.

For your information, this person that you are referring to is not part of HSA. And I do agree with you....someone who does not represent should not be driving around with the HAITIAN FLAG. I was able to have the picture remove from our web page. Please check it out again and let me know what you think this time. Hope we are both referring to the same person. Thanks again!

First, I wanted to let you know that some individual is using my screen name to somehow attack me. I have no idea who he/she is. As you all already know I've been on this board for years now and never been into any confrontation what-so-ever with anyone. I am all about positive thing and I will keep doing what I am doing. No one can ever put me down or even destroy me. So whoever you are, keep doing what you are doing. Ou pap jenm jwen bout mwen. Smoochees will remain smoochees where ever she goes. Can no one or YOU replace her. Instead of hating, CONGRATULATE.

Se kek chime ki pa gin a rien a faire kap esaye we si li te ka detwi'm. But you know me....hahahaha! "mama's feet stay plented"....your favorite line....lol. Anyway, like you said mwen tap byen minnin nan MICKY. I had a ball. Mwen te we'w tou wi. Ou te jwen jou swa sa....lol
All that participated on the raffle two fridays ago, the drawing was last friday (before micky) and only a few showed up. Se pa de ticket nou rele but no one was there to claim their price. Finally two people won the tickets to Micky. We are doing another one this friday and the price this time will be a DVD. Remember we are trying to raise money for the Carnival. So please come out and support us. Also check out our webpage on echo. Thanks to Ginau.....you did a great job. Ou voye HSA monte net. Se konya panik pran'm.....lol.

Good afternoon on this sunday to everyone at echo d'haiti. Beautiful and good people, let's keep it cool on the board. We don't have to use profanity to express ourselves on this helpful and beautiful board. We need to stop it. In fact, believe it or not we have foreigners, meaning other ethnic group, who respect and admire us, who check out this board all the time. Therefore, let's do what we can to keep it at a civilized level.
What happen, did someone attack smoochees or what? She has never been involved in any commotion on this board before, so what's up smooch, because I did not see the erased or edited message. You were having a good time last night and now suddenly things got out of proportion, so what's up?
I don't know about you all, PR and I were having a great time. Also, as usual Sweetmickey put on a great show besides his little profanity that he always has to add, I guess, as a bonus. But, over all, I enjoyed myself and I can't complain. HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY TO YOU ALL ON THE BOARD.

C'est moi,... What if I told you that I was born speaking French and English? And, that I had to learn to speak kreyol the way that many of you learned French. The criticism wasn't about the language, but rather an observation and comment on the overly wordyness of Haitians speaking French.
L.P.H.,
I didn't talk about the lack of vocabulary of anyone, but the unnecessary use of vocabulary when it came to French. You can even find it in some of the poems on this site. Many Haitians, not all, tend to confuse poetic words with poetry. I choose to speak kreyol in company of Haitian peers, because of the arrogance of many, not all, "French" speaking Haitians.

Le p'tit bo neg, I understand where you are coming from, it's just that you cannot expect everyone to have a deep source of vocabulary when they write or speak. Also I understand one can say a few words that would translate a whole paragraph, but not too many of us out there have that depth of a vocabulary. In fact, as you may know, it's improper to speak to people sometimes we don't even know using big words, where they don't understand anything you say. I hope you don't think that I take this personal or I'm attacking you, I just would like for you to be concern or careful about other people's level of intellect. In other words, what do you do with people who don't even know how to read or write, because they don't have any words to waste.

Please read again my post, and pay special attention to "wasted words."
Something that could be said in two sentences in English, or Kreyol, instead takes two paragraphs in French; in other words, WASTED WORDS.

PR, mon cher frere, pourquoi as-tu depense toute cette energie pour repondre a cet individu? Comme tu le sais deja, le mepris vaut mieu que la reponse. Cependant, si nous nous rappelons tres bien comment Antoine Rossini Jn-Baptiste avait raison lorsqu'il chantait "pale france vin-n tounin metie, yo confon-n faculte ak universite etc". C'etait pour nous demontrer que nous avions a l'epoque,en haiti, des hommes instruits sans education. Le "grand Maurice Sixto", aussi, nous a montre comment le personnage Alexandrine a bien plaide sa cause face a Zabelbok sans avoir besoin de s'exprimer en francais, dans la piece "ZABELBOK BERACHATTE". C'est pour cela que notre pays, aujourd'hui, est anglouti avec tous ces problemes de classes et de langages. La verite c'est que, a la fin de la journee, ils sont tous des bloffeurs.

Semwen, I bought 44444 tickets from Smooches last weekend, and I've been declared the official winner, lol.
Francophones, especially Haitians, tend to worship french as if it was the language of God. It's a vehicle used to distance themselves from their own brothers and sisters. I do not represent the standard by which french speaking Haitians should judged. Semwen, I answered that Sponge Bob Negro to let him know that he ought to be a bit more careful before he criticizes.
Smooch, di Semwen ke mwen genyen!

Pierre Richard My Friend,
Please, do not feel obligated to produce any reply to the disgruntled "le p'ti bo nèg", nor to any other people whose only social agenda is the negativism. Be mindful that certain people's criticism is a reflexion of their own ignorance. We have this problem in our communities: whomever writes or speaks French is being ridiculed. Big mistake!
The knowledge of french is -- for this regard, any other languages -- an ouverture to the cultural world. Having the privilege to speak a language, in whatever capacity form or shape, is already in itself a sign of immmeasurable progress.
Pierre Richard, or anyone else, do not let yourself be intimidated. Continue to write either in Creole, English or French whenever you feel it necessary to do so. If whomever can't speak or write French, this is not your problem. It is rather the responsibilty of our failed educational policy; not to mention our past and present leaders.

Pierre Richard, Il y a toujours des rumeurs qui courent. Une chose est certaine: toute rumeur decoule d'une probabilite qui aurait une variete de salut en terme d'acceptation. Il ne faut pas oublier que Maradona, en depit de sa reputation mondiale, n'a su jamais cultiver un comportement social respectable. En d'autres termes, cette accusation qu'il serait implique dans la drogue pourrait etre bien une verite. De meme, elle ne pourrait etre qu'une rumeur. Que saurions nous de la verite?. Chaque organe mediatique a sa propre version de verite. Dites moi: quelle version de verite qui se dit veritablement vraie? Personne ne le sait mon cher ami. Toute personne honnete, j'assume, est a la recherche de la verite. C'est ce que, peut etre, vous recherchez. Mois aussi, d'ailleurs.

"Penis explodes during sex
Doctors in Romania are treating a 28-year-old whose penis exploded while he was making love to his girlfriend.
Ilarie Coroiu was taken to hospital in the Transylvanian town of Cluj after his girlfriend, Magdalena, 18, "felt something strange" and noticed that the bed was covered in blood.
Dr Angela Domocos, head of the accident and emergency department at Cluj General Hospital, said: "It is very rare for this to happen. We call it an exploded penis because it happens when the blood cavities in the penis burst.
"I don't know what this couple were playing at, but there must have been tremendous pressure inside the penis to make this happen."
Mr Coroiu is now recovering after an operation to stop the bleeding."
Echo, I don't what to make of this! But, OUCH!
Was it that good ? or, was it that bad?
Your Guesses are as good as mine!

Maradona: évolution acceptable, mais reste sous assistance respiratoire
AFP | 20.04.04 | 19h13
L'ex-footballeur argentin Diego Maradona connaît "une évolution acceptable" de son état de santé, mais reste sous assistance respiratoire, selon le bulletin médical diffusé mardi par la clinique suisso-argentine où il est hospitalisé depuis dimanche soir.L'état général de Maradona est "stabilisé", précise le communiqué. Mais les médecins continuent à réserver leur diagnostic.Son entourage avait laissé espérer au cours des dernières heures que l'ancien joueur pourrait être déconnecté du respirateur mécanique qui le maintenait en vie depuis dimanche, au vu de l'amélioration de son état de santé.Maradona est traité pour des troubles cardiaques et pour une pneumonie "aspirative" (une infection pulmonaire provoquée par l'aspiration de vomi dans les voies respiratoires) qui font toujours craindre pour sa vie.Le communiqué précise que les problèmes sanguins de l'ex-idole se sont stabilisés, avec un recours "en quantités décroissantes de drogues psychotropiques".

Pabebe, welcome to Echo. My post is not about Aristide or the Lavalas party, but rather the Cubans finding it a duty to help us while we have medical associations unaccounted for in time of dire need. I read a few weeks ago that some hospitals did not even have cotton balls to properly provide care for the patients and lacking most everything. I don't want to prematurely condemn anyone, that's why I posed the question. In any events, if you feel that Aristide deserves credits in that sector, we should let history be judge.
On different note, a few weeks ago HBO aired a special on Real Sports with Bryant Gumble. There is a gentleman name Bobby Duval who has an athletic program for disadvantaged kids. Bobby's love for soccer and commitment pushed him to start this program a few years ago. Well, his program has evolved beyond just soccer, he provides food, education, and much more. He travels to other countries in order to raise funds to keep this thing going. Bobby and these kids count on local businesses, and good will individuals such as you. I was please to watch Haiti played against the US a few weeks ago, I learned that 3 players on the national Haitian league came from his association and that many are being seeked out by US teams. Ladies and gentlemen, what I am trying to say is, let's try to make a difference when and where it really matters. Men like Bobby Duval should go unrecognized, and these kids deserve our help, otherwise, kids like these 3 players could have alternate futures. You can search Bobby Duval on yahoo.com.
Smooch, no problem. I heard that I won 2 tickets to the sweet micky, did I hear correctly?

"« Collaborer avec Haïti devient pour nous un devoir », a déclaré en février dernier le ministre cubain des relations extérieures Felipe Pérez Roque
Avec la coopération cubaine, Haïti compte sur son territoire un total de 525 coopérants cubains dont 322 médecins qui soignent plus de 8 millions d’Haïtiens, a poursuivi M. Roque. Selon des statistiques disponibles dans le secteur de la santé, Haïti compte 2000 médecins dont presque 90% exercent dans la capitale. Au cours des 5 dernières années, les médecins cubains ont réalisé environ 5 millions de consultations dans le pays, 59000 interventions chirurgicales et 45000 accouchements. On estime en général que les médecins cubains ont sauvé presque 86 mille vies en Haïti."
Above is an extract from an article by HPN dated 4/14/2004. As stated by Mr Roque,Cuba finds it a duty to help Haiti . Among the 525 Cubains in Haiti,over 320 are medical doctors providing care for Haitians. My question is, where is the AMHE(Association des Medecins Haitiens a l'etranger)? This organization has several offices accross the US, including Maryland. Has this organization come forth with a lending hand?

People don't get me wrong,I'm not being evasive ,I never was,as a matter of fact I enjoy this kind of interaction BUT only when it's being done in a civilize manner like the ? of grin prominnin. If this is the only avenue for me to enlight some of you about rumors and perceptions about JCV, I will be glad to do it.You all can tell that I've been responding to those of you who do not sound stupid,and may want to inform the community.
However show business is my business and like any other entertainer I simply don't like the paparozzis who are hiding in the bush just to talk non sense trash without any substance.They want to turn echo into the community Tabloid.Yet again from a show biz stand point this kind or any kind of coverage is good for me and for the band. BELEIVE IT OR NOT
These days many superstars will do any shoking thing (ex:super bowl 2004) to get some kind of press good or bad.
Call me diolè if you want,but tell me any one in show biz here that is half as popular as Agimal. JUST TELL ME.
Sé sou mango mi yo voyé roch.Point bar.
Now the answer to the question is: Osner Chery was the first camera man of the show he was not a director,not a producer or a presenter of the program,not every one working at the hospital is a doctor.Nènè is still today a very good friend of mine.He is a behind the scene man, a real shy person if you don't know the man others can tell you that he is not the kind of person that would ever go on camera.Bégué ou pa.
The truth to the story is that in 1988 Jean Claudel Fleurival,myself and Yvon Fleurival we started a T.V program called TELE METRO with Osner's VHS camera right in Osner Chery's living room.Tele Metro was dead only after a few shows,but Agi was not.I told every one that I will take this to another level.AND I DID.
In 1989 I met Greg Hamilton,a Takoma Park politician,who helped me with the T.V production classes.In 1990 with his help the city council of the city of Pakoma Park approved my proposal of having a non English T.V show in their station.With the help of some friends like Nènè Chery now on the T.V station's big cameras Haiti A Suivre was born on December 2nd 1990.
Two U.M students Jean Michel Mathurin and Gary Louis Charles also helped me with the first productions.In December 1992 the Takoma Park Station named me Assistant Program Director and the show was assigned a regular station crew.
In 1995 my sister Solanges give me a gift of thirty thousand dollars ($30.000) to help me purchase my own toys.Thus started the JCV Production studio,without my own studio and a registered business I would not be an independent producer in the state of Maryland. I have my own cameras my own editing suite-Caracter Genrator,monitors etc... I don't use the stations studios anymore.By being an independent producer I have the right to have my own sponsors,and that's the beauty of it.
Today nine years later these equipments are out dated,but the show is still on.
I would like to get some D.V cameras and a D.V editor how can YOU help.

I have been reading what is being written. I do not have any idea who many of you are. But one thing I notice is the fact I am curious to find out about people in this community. I firmly realize through this medium that there are a lot of who are good and that there are amny of as well who cannot be trusted. When those things are exposed, it is good for many of us who have no idea with whom we are dealing with. I will ask and encourage everyone and anyone who has information and who knows some of those characters in our community better than others to share those information with the rest of us. Please do so. It is very helpful.

JCV,
Do not answer these guys anymore, they are getting you into a low level conversation. This is not productive. If someone wants to constructively criticize someone else, it is fine, but stop trying to bring a brother down. The man is trying to do something positive. He might have his own problems, but is this really how we want to react to the community's effort? This is not the first time that people try to bring people down using this forum. It has been tried with Zephir, JCV, PR and others. If someone can do better, may he/she come out and produce. It is very easy to talk and write in the confort of one's office, but it is very hard to invest time and money without any guarantee of success. What some of us are doing is the very reason why we are so behind as a people. Leave the man alone.

Wè papa, once again wap palé saw pa kon nen.Baltazar was b-4 my time I never did any show production with him,however I used to sing in his bands LES PACHAS and G.P Express.J.C Verdieu and Mario Germain are business partners of mine,we did SOME shows together especially the WACAHAPA parties.Tabou never produce any show here,however they did gave me some sweet deals because well SINCE YOU KNOW SO MUCH YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW WHY.YES MY FRIEND.
The answer to your question is No - I did not bring the Walkers here to Maryland, but they did step up to save TRANKILL when the deal went wrong with the other parties involve.Yes I did spent some money but WE (MARYLAND) lost the musicians to some other group in Florida.I don't think I need to go into to much details,or volunteer any more information.SIW SE GRAN MOUN WA KONPRAN'N.
Now if you want to question my honesty,you are questionning the wrong man I spell Mafia with capital M.
I'm not an honest man because I spent two years in this country without legal documents,so did many of us immigrants,may be you or your parents did too. It's no secret to you or to any one else in this town that many of us here are having or had extra marital affairs.Hey body once again I'm not the only one,may be you did too,so did Bill Clinton and Prince Charles.I'm not justifying it,and I'm not so proud of it,because when I look at my self in the mirror I don't see an honest man,and when I look around I still don't see one neither.Who can you really trust today fool: priests,judges,police officers,presidents,Bush,Rice,Powell,Aristide,Ben Laden no you trust me "Agi-mal" .
You don't need to trust me,just enjoy the services that I provide.If you see me turn water into wine don't ask how I do it just drink it and enjoy.I serve you so well that now you think I should be your GOD,that I should be Perfect.Wake up body I said I'm a man I never said that I was GOD.
ARE YOU A HONEST MAN - OR ARE YOU JUST GOING CRAZY-
Enough say to a man with no face.You know me,I don't know you.As far as I'm concern you are hiding in the echodhaiti.com's back yard throwing rocks at me.Yo rélé sa voyé roch caché main.
I'm almost sure that sakapfet,arthur,and gilbert is the same person-AN HYPOKRITT FRIEND OF MINE.
I'm almost certain that I did gave you a free ticket to the show,you shooke my hand and/or maybe YOU gave me a hug.
I can't beleive that you have the nerve to say that you 'll be at the next show."Yes you'll be" with my courtesy ticket to you.After the show you'll get right back on echodhaiti to talk trash.

One thing that I would like to make it clear to Ajimal is the fact there is nothing wrong with doing things in the community. The problem is when you are not being honest about the way things are being done. How many times people in this community are actually using their money to bring bands here and then Ajimal told them that he is going to promote it for them and suddenly you see and you hear that Ajimal is doing it. When it come to Tabou, it is clear that either Tabou themselves did their party or someonelse foot the bill beginning with Balthazar or Verdieu (and his associates) to name those two only. Not too long ago, I don't know if the regulars from Echo noticed that Ajimal wrote that "He is forming a new band and that he is spending lot of money bringing the band members from Haiti, and that he would like to see us supporting it". Fine we are more than happy to suuport, but tell me who has he brought from Haiti? the Walkers?, the guitare player who has come to live with his wife? be honest man?

Smooches like I said the two bands have already met,and we are friends.
The ball is now on their corner,because I'm ready to merge to have a competitive band to represent Maryland any where in the world.I'm ready to be on the back burner for the benefit of the group and the community.
There is one thing however that I would like for people to notice.The reason I created MONACO SOCCER CLUB in 1983 is because we did not have a soccer team.The reason I created WASHINGTON EXPRESS in 1985 is because we didn't have a band. the reason I created HAITI A SUIVRE T.V show in 1990 is beacause we did not have a T.V show.Now the reason I create TRANKILL in 2004 is because for the past five (5) years this community has been without a live local band.
This show last Saturday was the first Easter dance in the community in the since April 11 1992.
Now the answer to the question should be that AGIMAL A HORREUR DU VIDE ET DU SILENCE.I will fill a whole no matter what it takes,time,money,enemy,etc...I will continue to move forward and I will not look back.A leader is the one who can get up after he fell and say like Boirrons Tonerre EN AVANT-EN AVANT.

Lol@ the No CARB regime. I bet the late Dr. Atking would blush with flattery for the fact his low diet philosophy even applies to fate of this current Administration.
It seems that President Bush would have to get ALL the Iraqis, all Alqeda operatives to join hands signing Old Negroe Spirituals in order to get re-elected, and that is very unlikely.

So what do you say? Will you be there? We are down there every friday night doing our thing. We are also raising money for the Carnival. A minimum donation of $5 or more will be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to meet the group.

Concerning Rafrechi, the group consist on five members:a bass player (Johnny ), a guitar player ( Frantzy), a lead singer (Junior 18), a background singer (Gracia) and a keyboard player ( Cedryc 22).
Four of the members do the chorus except the guitar player.

We hope to see most of the Haitian Community at our first performance which will be at the beginning of July. We promise not to deceive the public and hope that the public will be perceptive and supportive. We plan to give a good show and the best of us.

Agi my brother, I hope you don't let anybody brings your dream to an end. For those who don't know, Agi has been in the business for so long, I don't think any critic of any sort can deviate his ideas or lead him to a detour. The man is taking his chances in what he believes, instead of criticizing him, why don't you guys try to help. I've been in this community for so long, my observation is that everytime one tries to open or start something in this empty community, it's hard to find support. This is so discouraging for artists or anyone else who would like to do something positive in this unbelievable haitian community in washington. Therefore, Agi I'm with you. In fact, if you remember "ZEPON", where were the critics at that time. "STOP THE CRITICISM, SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY, L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE."

By the way there are a lot of people in the community who look like they have good intentions for the community, but on the contrary they are in it for their own advantage. I am not going to name names but since I have moved and lived in this area. I have heard a lot of stories. So be careful of your statements.

Gilbert Cantave shame on you
You now want to change your tune because you see that the people don't fall on your trap you were the first one to attack the man,you were the one who talk about the frigidaire.Look like you have something personal against the man,may be your wife likes him or something.
If you want to be a man just come clean, apologize,and recognize that Agimal only have good intention for this community.
Tell me your self of someone you know that you have suggested to Agimal for the band,and Agimal had refuse the person in the band .Just tell me,and your word then will have some substance.You only are saying that you don't want Agimal,but that's your opinion.My father did not like Coupe Cloue,so he just don't go to Coupe Cloue,but you,you want others to agree with you and your opinion. F.you man
We spent my money any way we want to.We support who the hell we whish to with our money,you don't own any one here but your self,tell me who died and make you chief.Papa Doc.
Come out with your own band,no one is stopping you,then why do you want to stop the man for doing his thing.
Shame on you.Like the others get out of here, or sit your butt home and keep an eye on your wife.

I would like to thank each and every one of you who attended the parties this past weekend.
To all the fans and friends and to the media in the community that took the time to show their support,I say once again thank you on behalf of the whole band.
I will not waste my energy to respond to any one that I can't identify,I feel this forum is for the public.However if somebody whish to give some constructive feed backs to me or to TRANKILL,please feel free to e-mail me,and I will respond.
Pierre Richard,I even went to see the guys of Rafrechi at Jhon B's house.Let me tell you that this will be a dream come true for me if we can merge.
I do not whish to be the only singer of TRANKILL,I did post earlier in the year on this board that I'm looking for singers.
Sortie jazz la té fè parti dé projè a court terme yo,kou nouyé ya nap ataké projè a moiyen term yo,épi lot projè yo sé a long term kéyo yé.I Thank you PRT so very much for your support.
Now this is the news:
NAPOLI was so happy that they give me four dates for the month of May,however I will use only three of them.
TRANKILL will be at NAPOLI ITALIAN RESTAURANT
8241 Georgia Ave Silver Spring Maryland
Saturday May 8 at 10pm for a Mother's Day weekend party
Saturday May 29 at 10pm & Sunday May 30 at 9pm for the memorial weekend
$15.00 in adv for the Saturdays & $10.00 at the door for the Sunday show.
From this party Saturday we now have three new engagments a communion in frederick, a wedding in Virginia and a company anniversary at a hotel in Washington D.C.
We will also have a TRANKILL barbeque party for all the friends and fans to celebrate Miki's new ranch in Damascus which will be the band's new headquarter.Miki is our young keyboard player,he is only 23 years old and single he says bring all the girls-this will be fun.

JC, you've converted your thoughts into action quite nicely! I was fortunate to have witnessed Trankill's very first public appearance. Unsurprisingly, the community shined by its absence. I enjoyed myself, and so did many folks. If Trankill is a past time or a self-realization project, than you can rely on time to polish your showmanship. Otherwise, as you mentioned, there is another group out of Columbia that's due to make it's debut sometime this summer. If I were you, I would try to work with them to possibly bring these organizations to one entity for the benefit of both organizations. I have had the chance to hear them during practice, it would be in both organizations best interest to merge to have a better chance at success. Washington is a rough place for any venture to succeed, any competion would put both out of commission. Put egos behind, and work together,if possible!
Thanks, for your vision!

Paul Jhom ou bien palé,mais écho n'a fait qu'annocer un nouveau jazz dans la communauté.Je pense qu'ils ont fait leur devoir en aidant à la promotion du groupe Trankill qui est un groupe du quartier.
A mon avis l'orchestre a bien joué Samedi soir, pour un début je pense que c'était bien.Faut pas comparer un groupe à sa premiere prestation aux autres groupes qui viennent ici à Washington,mes chers amis.Il faut bien comprendre que les groupes comme ZIN,MIKI, T.VICE, TABOU etc se sont des orchestres qui évoluent depuis plus de 10 ans,ils ont des dizaines de hits et des albums,le jeux d'ensemble et l'experience par dessus tout.Alors vous tous faites des erreurs à critiquer si dur nos artistes locales qui ont pris leurs temps et leurs argent pour NOUS donner un jazz.
Naturelement nous avons tous vu certaines fautes surtout au niveau de la sonorisation et la longeur des chansons mais il faut être un peut tolerant.Moi je me suis dit s'ils ont pu réaliser ceci,s'ils ont pu jouer aussi bien à leur première sortie,je crois que dans six mois ils seront déja competitifs.
Cependant, comme l'a dit une autre personne je vois vraiment de la jaloisie dans vos écris messiers,car vous n'avez pas donner à Ajimal aucune idée qui pourrait aider son groupe à l'avenir.Vous avez choisi la voie la plus facile,celle de créer un buzz négatif sur écho pour détruire un produit locale dès son apparition sur le marché.
It seems like some of you had your mind made up way before the show to come on echodhaiti to kill the baby soon after its birth.
This remind me of another baby born 2004 years ago.
Does the name Jesus rings the bell.
Some of you remind me also of the Romans who nail jesus on the cross.Come on people like the lady said please get out of this community.Don't nail our Agimal,he doen't deserve you.
Echodhaiti please do continue to support what is our local products,don't be influence by anyone's negative attitude.
I also think it's all good if echo give Agimal some exposure,because at the end of Agimal's T.V show I always see every time the web address of ECHODHAITI.COM,beleive me that's how I've found out about echodhaiti.com. So who are you guys,what kind of contributions do you bring to this community.
Agimal pa okipé yo.
I was at Napoli and at the end of the show I saw so many people congratulating you that I feel good for you and for the new band.Don't be affraid of them and of the challenges ahead,just remember Bob Marley's song {rat race}.

Mezanmi, sèl bagay mwen ka di konsènan nouvèl Jaz ki rele Trankill la sè ke, pou yon debi, yo pa mal. Men se poko sa ditou. Nou sipoze Bayo pou le moman benefis dout. Yopa bati yo chato nan de jou. Ekri mizik, konpoze mizik pa fasil. Ka, "qui veut ne peut être poète, écrivain ou artiste" Fòk nou pa blye gèfo mesye yo te fè pou yo te ofri piblik la ti moman amizman sa a. E, mwen espere ke nan fiti yap pi anfòm.
Mwem dakò avèk Arthur e Apanou. Fòk nou genyen yo sètin espri kritik. Sepa tout bagay ke nou sipoze vale. Obsèvasyon pa mwen sè ke: Echodhaiti pajanm fè yo depasman. Tout sa li ekri, konplètman pozitif. Alòske, pagen anyen ki tou a fè pozitif. Menm le Eccohdhaiti ap esaye fe promosyon pou kilti, li gen devwa tou, pou li kritike sak ki medyòk, pou li di kisa ki bezwen ankourajman, e kisa ki bezwen konpliman. Si Echodhaiti paka fè sa, se sinpleman ekri bagay san li pa fè yon obsèvasyon kritik ki pou pòte koreksyon, se voye monte pou ninpòt gwoup ou individi, eh byen, lap pase sou zye moun kòm yo ògan moun pa, kap defan interè gwoup ou zanmi, san kredibilite. Kidonk, mwen pa kwè ke se imaj sa Echo vle bay. Fòk nou pi serye nan fason nou trete sijè yo.

Happy Birthday "CUZ".
I was at the KANAVAL last weekend with the family and we had lots of fun. I was proud to see the Haitian Float passed by and I was told I missed the best part. Congratulations to all involved. I've learned couple things that I think will benefit many here. They are:
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution.
An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. With that said, chapo ba pou Echodhaiti, HSA, Wachahapa and all others groups/individuals who are doing their best to improve themselves and others.

Let's take care of our business sis, that's all we need to do. Mem moun kap pale nou mal nan se mem moun sa yo ka pral pran plezi yon pou gratis, so just drop it booby and let's move on.

People please STOP IT there is no war going on between H.S.A and WACAHAPA.This is not a Nemours/Sicot or a D.P/Scorpio Miki /T.Vice kind of thing,and don't make it so.
WACAHAPA is saying congrats to H.S.A for a job well done.
To those of you who don't know what is going on let me tell you that there is no war, as a matter of fact the scaffles to built the H.S.A float were ordered by WACAHAPA.You may ask Jean Presmy he will tell you that when he could not find the scaffles anywhere he said AGI sové'm I had to leave my job to place the order at a rental tool place on route 108. I call Mario and he too left his job to sign a WACAHAPA check since we need two signatures on the check.
H.S.A se pitite nou yo ye, nou se you sel fanmi.Nou pa ka fè yo mal.
Now PEUPLE HAITIEN let's get ready for the BALTIMORE CARNIVAL.That's one more chance to raise the red and bleu in this bicentennial year.
That wil also be the first Haitian participation ever at the Baltimore Carnival-Let's regroup and make it big.
WACAHAPA is coming out with DJ Woolado the parade is on Saturday September 18.

"Interesting, I also think that H.S.A went to far to beat Wachahapa man at this year canaval. Right now they are in big debt ($6,500 U.S) for the showing off. Every body know that Agimal got paid for participating . Agimal already stocked the money that to Carnival organisation gave him in the bank man."-----Jean
Jean my dear....we are not trying to beat WACAHAPA nor showing off (of course we were showing off our RED and BLUE) nor in DEBTS. This is what I am talking about.....NEGATIVITY. Why not be positive? Did HSA tell you all of these info? I bit you NOT. Feed from the SOURCES and not from the NONSOURCES. I Know you enjoyed yourself for SURE saturday. Just be happy and proud for that. If HSA have debts let HSA take care of their business. Are you willing to pay some? NO! So pou ki tout pawol sa yo. Minm si nou te nan debt ki te depase nou that would not have matter to us. Lesentyel nou fe yon bel kanaval and EVERYONE was satisfied. Minm sa kap pale yo. And that's all we care about. You requested a service, we promise to deliver it and WE DID DELIVER IT and everybody was satistify. This is what I call SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. Don;t worry about how we deliver the service to you.

PR....c'mon on now. Pa fe'm sa. If anything se HSA ou tap supote and not Yves. Whatever is going on between you two should stay between ya. Pa fe inosen peye pou koupab. HSA is HSA and Yves is Yves. Yves Dayiti helped us by letting us promote the Kanaval on the radio station. Beside flyers and mouth to mouth there are no other way to communicate with the community. And I think it was very nice of him and HSA thank him for that. On top of that he supported us by giving his donation. Yves pa fe kanaval ni li pa HSA. But i understand your point. Si nap kontinye konsa nou pap jenm rive. Life is too short people. Ou pa kon ki le wap mouri. You and Yves need to put ya differences behind ya and move on. Is all that stress worth it? I've been watching you two on the board and it is such a SHAME...En tou ka ou pedi nan kanaval la and Yves Dayiti danse kont li. Danm PR it's that bad babe? WOW!!! I had no idea.
Yopranm....I haven't had a chance to stop at the festival. I will do so this weekend and definitely will check out ti-koka. Map rete lwen Azor paske se fanm gonaives mwen ye. Lwa'm toujou pret a monte....lol
Grandefemme.....now do you really believe in nonsense/rumors/BS? Gade kiles kap pale? C'mon now girl. Certain things are not worth an answer. People talk and there's nothing anyone can do to STOP them from talking. Look around you and read through the lines....epi wa di'm. Nou pa pliyin bay moun but yet they worry their a***S off for us. E byen pou kisa yo pa fe yon ti maraton ede HSA peye gwo bill $6500 dola sa.....LMAO. Grandefemme, I know you are smarter than that girl.
FYI....HSA is not competing with WACAHAPA. I remember it was in April that we decided to organize the KANAVAL for our 200 years of independence. Avan sa pat gin HSA. We formed the group and called ourselves HSA. At that time there was no word about KANAVAL from no one. I do not see anything wrong with trying to do something different. It is obvious that it was worth it. HSA main focus is to please the community and not to go against anyone. We all can join hands and make things happen. Mwen pa ka fose peson to become one with us. As far as we're concern yo te met monte desan kraze brize HSA will keep doing what they are doing. Nothing can stop us now. We don't care about what people say but the community. We are all about POSIITVE. Of course nan tout sa wap fe wap jwen HATERZ/NEGATIVE/JALOUZI/MECHAN/CHIME min san yo minm pa tap jenm gin HSA. Se avek moun sa yo pou we si wap fe yon bagay ki bon pou kominote a. Se minm jen pou yon STAR ou byen yon ACTOR. What do you think make them so successful today? All because of the HATERZ. So HSA pap gade deye. Nou pran devan net. Sonje you are dealing with a whole bunch of young haitian american. WE DO NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY. Trust me it will not stop us. Pendan se tan en'n kite gran moun yo goumin entre yo. Nou minm se ti moun nou ye nap wete ko nou (smile)
HSA did a wonderful job and we will do a better job next year. Wait till you see what we have reserve for the community next year. Nap sezi.
For those who are very interesting in our debts, thanks but no THANK YOU. We have no debts. Like I said it was hard work putting up the KANAVAL but we did it. Sak te la yo nou te we cha HSA a. Mwen byen sure ke nou te we BANNERS yo. Se pa pou gran mese nou te plake yo soy cha. Te gin unitransfer, CAM, Ceepco, Alexanon magazine, Lakay productions, ak PRESMY. Se pa pou bebel nou te mete yo. All those banners were sponsors. So you guys can imagine.
Thanks for all of your supports again.

I don't know where McDonald's money is coming from, but I know they provide a service that is useful to me.), but yet ALL these people benefit from the exposure. Many shamelessly advertize their products here, 'cause they know something.
The only thing this site is reproachable on is that they give us ONE page to hang ourselves and we do a damn good job. We've turned a great weekend into an ugly, ugly virtual riot.

I understand both parties now about Saturday night.
I think it was a MISCOMUNICATION between Lakay and Agimal man . Anyhow, when thinks like that happen the promotor is always the one to blame for not fixing his bed before going to sleep man.
Agimal, it's for fault for not bringing your rifle/mixer to the batle man. I think, the company giving sound is not obligated to provide a mixer. Ask Master Compa, he will tell you man.
Interesting, I also think that H.S.A went to far to beat Wachahapa man at this year canaval. Right now they are in big debt ($6,500 U.S) for the showing off. Every body know that Agimal got paid for participating . Agimal already stocked the money that to Carnival organisation gave him in the bank man.
NOW TELL ME WHO'S THE BIG WINNER MAN????????????????????????
YOU RIGHT ......................AGIMAL
WHO'S THE LOSER MAN ??????????????????????????????
YOU RIGHT AGAIN .......................LAKAY/HSA

William Shakespeare died much too soon! He missed the subject of a good drama play.
Congratulations to HSA and all those who worked diligently to make this year's carnival a success.
Smoochess, I stop supporting the HSA movement because of Yves dayiti involvement and ability to manipulate it. Yves is a very ill-intentioned man whose message is to further divide this community. He feeds off this type of muddle, my advice to him is to seek help. I will not support any organization who allows him to further his cause.
Once again, congratulations.

i don't care for wacahapa or hsa or trankill or wathever the name of the band in columbia is,i only feel that ginau is the webmaster and i count on him not to be subjective, he should never take side not even for brother,money or booty.i wasn't at the carnaval i only feel that his report was bias,and that he should be careful with words like the best ever,never,and always.

Caroline Dufort, please, it's not fair to involve Ginau in this "MACAQUERIE". I understand that he's the head of echodhaiti.com, but, he's not around everybody when they're writing or posting something on the site. Then, he cannot help those who came in this country, who already did not have respect for anybody or themselves, who instead of learning how to speak and write standard english, prefer to imitate and speak and write like hoodlums. Caroline, I'm not attacking you, I just want to show you that Ginau cannot stop anyone from blaspheming when they write on the board, it is impossible. All he is able to do is to edit what people post on the board, but if everybody on this board was acting civilized with each other, he would never have to worry about editing anything on it.

Hi everybody!!!
It's a shame for all of you, the Haitian community. We are supposed to do things together. Calling people names, people are not frank with each other. What king of people are you? You are not going anywhere if you keep acting this way. This site is supposed to be the site of the community, to share positive things with each other. Instead, it is a trash, really a trash site. the head of this site (like Gineau ) is supposed to allow nice and kind people to write positive and instructive things for the sake of the community. When somebody is callinf an another person "Nigga", it is a bad word. Haitian people are "sauvage". Shame on you. I suppose the HSA got a lot of trouble paying right now Top Vice and the Carnival. But I guess the public doesn't know about that and they even doesn't care. They don't give money and they come to enjoy themselves at the carnival and that's it for them and they go home. But who is having problem now? where the money is coming from? I guess your pocket hein!!! I am sorry, but there is a proverb " le deye ou ron pa fose pete kare".
So people, think about it...

Please STOP 'cause you cannot get any lower. Let HSA shine
HSA, great job. I got into town just in time, if someone had told me I wouldn't have believed.
Un ami,
you have some valid points, but I would suggest that the feelings that Ginau expressed are by far the feelings of the majority. This site was criticized not long ago for being "too positive." (read below). HSA has brought an excitement into town that wasn't there before, and they must be praised for that. And, finally, giving a compliment to one doesn't mean you're putting down another. Many people feel that it was the "best" carnival ever: a band most people are familiar with, very good sound system, RED and BLUE EVERYWHERE, great weather, we kicked the trinis ass. That should not take away from what any body did before.
Un ami, if you are a sports fan. Is MJ the best ever? is Maradona the best ever? Is TAbou the best ever? Does that take away from Nemou? does that take away from Pele? from Dr. J? NO!
Give credit where it's due: THE BEST CARNIVAL EVER. That doesn't mean that next year WACAHAPA can't top them. If they do, it will be to "our" benefit.

Lakay,originally you told me that the company from Miami providing sound for the carnival will also provide sound for the show.
Last week you call me and told me that the company is asking for too much money and you asked me to play on TRANKIL'S sound system.I told you that TI MIKI is the owner of the system I will talk to him for you.Later I told you that Miki said that since he knows that TRANKILL was playing on someone else's system he rented out his system to another band for the 26th.TELL ME IF I'M NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.
(Miki also rent and / or do sound for spanish bands,that's his business.This is why even when he played with TRANKILL he still get paid for his sound system.LI PA NEGOCIER SA.)
Then you made arrangement with Rafrechi to provide sound.Our understanding was that they will bring everything for us to play with.
The musicians of TRANKILL were there ready to play at 10:30, with their riffles/instruments bass,keyboard,guitar,drum machine.Bringing a mixer was never mentioned.
A mixer is part of the P/A system,it's not a musical instrument, ask any musician.
TOP VICE,MIKI,T.VICE carry their mixers because they travel a lot and they don't trust other sound men with their set up.
You need to be a man and take the blame instead of dropping it on others to save face in front of the public and the visiting band.
The guys of TRANKILL were looking forward to the "exposure",they were ready to tape the show,they practice hard for it.They were there on time.You came at 12:30 and TOP VICE showed up AT 12:50,but we are the one that you are taking on.
You did not planned YOUR SHOW well enough baby.That's what you need to say.That's the only truth to the story.
Did you know that MIKI helped woolado with the sound.
Do you remember that the club was rented under MY name.
Did you know that FRITZ was playing guitar by himself on stage.You would not know that because you were not there.
The show was a "Top Vice Show" we were the openning act.
We were there to perform from 10:30 to 11:30,and give the floor to TOP VICE to start at midnight.
WE DID REPORT TO WORK BOSS.
At midnight TI MIKI left because he said that his time was up,but TOP VICE whose getting paid was still not there with their mixer to work.MEN SE NOU KI BAY PROBLEM NAN - PLEASE.
BERNARD,what I don't understand is why "outside" in front of the club when I asked you what went wrong, you told me in the presence of ALEXANON,in the presence of the reporter from N.J and in the presence of FRITZ that this problem is all GEORGES BAZILE'S fault.It's never you.Inside you told the public and top vice that it's TRANKILL'S fault.It's never you.WHY BERNARD.
The same way I acknowledge you outside the club, why you did not talk to me before you take the microphone to do some domage to my business to save yours that is at fault.
WHY BERNARD.
MERCI.

USUALLY I DO NOT GO BACK AND FORTH IN REPLIES TO DISCUSSIONS ON THE BOARD BUT ON THIS ONE I WANT THIS COMMUNITY TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED SATURDAY NIGHT AND CLEAR THE SITUATION.
I WANT TO APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF LAKAY PRODUCTIONS AND HSA.
TWO BANDS WERE SUPPOSED TO PERFORM THAT NIGHT, AS A PROMOTOR I SHOULD PROVIDE FOOD, HOTEL, TRANSPORTATION AND SOUND SYSTEM. FOR A LOCAL BAND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH AMENETIES (SUCH AS FOOD, HOTEL, ETC) BUT THE SOUND SYSTEMS. AS EVERY BODY WHO WERE THERE THAT NIGHT, SAW THAT THERE WAS A SOUND SYSTEM SET UP ON STAGE PROVIDED BY RAFRECHI "DJ WOOLADO". THE GROUP TRANKIL REFUSED TO PLAY BECAUSE I DID NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH A MIXER. LIKE I SAID THAT NIGHT THERE IS NO SOLDIER WITH OUT A RIFFLE OR A WRITER WITH OUT A PEN. WHICH MEANS THAT THE GROUP TRANKIL CAN NOT BE A BAND WITH OUT HIS OWN MIXER. IF I PROVIDE ALL THIS, GIVE THEM AN EXPOSURE, THEY SHOULD HAVE HELPED ME THAT MUCH BY FULFILLING THE NEED OF THIS COMMUNITY. I DIDN'T HAVE TO PROVIDE A MIXER TO TOP VICE. THEY TRAVELLED WITH THEIR OWN MIXER. TRANKIL SHOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME. IF THERE WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE GENERAL MANAGER OF TRANKIL "AGIMAL" I WAS NO AWARE OF IT.
TOP VICE WAS SCHEDULED TO PLAY RIGHT AFTER TRANKIL. TOP VICE DID PLAY THAT NIGHT. DO TO THE LATENESS I WAS ABLE TO GET AN HOUR EXTENSION FROM THE CLUB. TOP VICE WAS DONE PLAYING AT 3:15AM.
LIKE IT OR NOT I AM A PEOPLE MAN AND I DO NOT WORK FOR MYSELF. I WORK FOR THE HAITIAN COMMUNITY. "MWEN MONTE MONTAGNE MWEN DESAN MONTAGNE". MWEN TOUJOU LA KING ALA GANACHE.
PS:THE FUTURE OF THIS COMMUNITY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE HANDS OF THE OTHERS BUT TO THE YOUNG GENERATION.

THANK YOU.

Good job HSA... Although, I had a lot fun at the Carnival. I want a full explanation from LAKAY PRODUCTIONS and AGIMAL of what happened on Saturday night. My friends and I (about 10 of us in 2 different cars) went to Napoli were TRANKIL and TOP VICE were scheduled to play. When we arrived there around 12:30 AM, we saw Agimal chilling with the rest of TRANKIL musicians outside the nightclub and none of TOP VICE musicians around. When we went upstairs, NO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS were set up the stage and dj wolado playing cds. After 30 minutes, I got so upset at the party promotor who wasn't even in the crowd that I left with most of my friends.
I think it's time for our party promotors to start taking us, the public, more seriously and take responsibility of their action. This kind of behavior needs to stop in our community in order to avoid FURTHER EMBARRASSMENT AND MOVING FORWARD.
A beautiful day like shouldn't have ended on a such sour taste.
I am waiting for an explanation from all parties involved.

There are no words strong enough to express my sentiments toward HSA. This one was the best carnaval ever organized by a group of people in this community. You can take that from me who has been living here for 29 years. It was great and everyone had fun. HSA members used their times, talents, togetherness to pull it through. I sure hope that HSA has learned a lot from this experience and give the members enough amunition to do even bigger things in the community. Congratulations and Congratulations again to the all HSA. I will be always available to help. Let me guarantee you that next year I will do my best to help HSA financially. I talked to one HSA member yesterday and that member knows already what I have in store for the carnival. (Chyen fe rev, li rete nan ke-li).

Good Morning all...(with the biggest smile)
First I want to say I LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL (screaming)...
WOW!.....no diol to talk. WE DID IT.....when I say HSA you say WE DID IT...lol
Yes, it was a long journey. Nou soti lwen. Nou travese la rivye, bato chavire avek nou, le'n pense nou preske rive se ato nap pran baf. O denye momen siklone pati ak yon bo tet nou....but guess what? We did not give up. We kept going san vire gade dega ki te deye nou. We got to the end and WE DID IT. We showed Washington DC what we are all about. Nou trase yon ekzanp. This Kanaval will make history. I remember telling the rest of the gang (HSA STAFF) that we must stick together. We are already out there no matter what it takes we must show washington dc what A REAL KANAVAL is all about (keep in mind we started this at the end of March). I also told them that it might hurt us, it might hurt our pockets but the pain will be worth it. They believed in me and stood by me to put up this UNFORGETABLE KANAVAL. AHHHHHH le'm di nou nou soti lwen nou soti lwen tout bon vre wi. HMMMM!!!
On behalf of HSA, we want to thank each and evryone of you who supported us this year for the KANAVAL. We couldn't do it with out you. Although we came across some "NEGATIVITIES/CONSEQUENCES/SOME BAF", we kept our heads up and kept going with what we wanted to accomplish and you guys have the PROOF.....HSA DID IT. Mwen pap jenm bouke di sa. I am proud of HSA and what we are trying to do in our community. We are all about doing POSITIVE thing. This is a new generation and we know what our people want and we will give it to them. Like Ginau said "ti moun pa mele nan afe gran moun".....Pawol ou konsekans wi Ginau (smile) e byen nap vire bagay la yon lot jen.....gran moun se ret nan wol gran moun ou pa mele nan afe jeune ti moun....Sa'n we? Nou tout la gin verite a nan min nou. Mwen pap di anyen enko map kite nou pale. HSA promised to give our community a KANAVAL every year from now in. This year was good but next year it will be GREAT! Nou pap fe bak du tou and NO we promised not to go over our heads. Bagay yo ap fet yon lot jen net. As long as you stay positive and HONEST about what you are doing you will make it. Depi ou nan bagay negative ou chire. Depi ou nan twonpe kominote'w ou chire net. HSA is here to stay....nou met konte sou nou.
Special THANKS to:

The Haitian youth is too many times underestimated in Haitian culture; "ti moun pa mele nan afè¨ gran moun."
This weekend the youth of the Washington, DC, community proved that they can have a major impact on Haitian culture. The young ladies and gentlemen of HSA (Haitian Sensation Association) systematically organized the best showing at the carnival this year, also the best showing ever for Haitians at the DC Caribbean carnival. HSA organized fundraising parties, washed cars, sold t-shirts, begged sponsors, relentlessly advertised through word of mouth, radio, magazines, and internet.
It's hard to beat the Trinidadians in showmanship, with their multi-colored costumes and that pulsating Soca rhythm, but, the Haitians this year showed more spirit and screamed louder than anyone else. With Top Vice's Freddy as the Master of Ceremony, not only were the Haitians hyped, but along the way, we picked up St. Lucians, Dominicans, even some Trinidadians. At the end of the carnival, the HSA truck received what constitute as a standing ovation from the people. One lady, standing on her porch on Georgia Avenue, yelled out, "y'all did a good job!"
Yes, we did. Yes, HSA did a very good job.

I went to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival today and I must say they did a pretty good job with the exhibitions. More importantly however, for a change, folks here are getting a chance to see something positive about our country and our vibrant culture. I was really refreshing.

Haitian-American, I admire your honesty in speaking so frankly about this. Let me tell you that you should not feel like an alien having strange thoughts like this. The issue you are raising would require much more time than this column allows. However I will tell you this.
From the very beginning of the existence of Haiti as a nation, there has been a systematic campaign to portray Haiti and its inhabitants as savage people practicing these animist rites they call "vodou". Up to this day, the campaign remains unabated, even if more subtle. Unfortunately, our elite was too often a willing partner in vilifying "moun sa yo", those from below who practiced Vodou, and these include your parents, mine and too many others. Too many of us who got a chance to obtain a good education got an earful of those evil rites called "vodou", without quite knowing exactly what was the real deal. Vodou, black magic (the sticking doll, the magic potion, etc), all that was evil. Thanks God there have been some serious studies of Vodou, such as that of Milo Rigaud that Le Plus Haut suggested, that set the record straight. Did you know for example that those who pratice Black magic are forbidden to practice Vodou?. You see, the apologists for European culture, both outside and inside of Haiti never accepted African culture as a valid one, the former because of ther racism, the latter because of a lack of identity, of conviction and self-esteem. For them, everything was geared to Europe. It is no accident that up to recently, no school taught African History in Haiti. Isn't that a shame! Nowadays, you see African Studies Institute in Haiti and all kind of activities relating to Africa. It was about time!. I am sorry to say that up to this day, you still have many among our elite who still think the same Eurocentric way. The irony of it all is that more and more, the contradictions in their position become more and more obvious. They love Rasin mizik, which is essentially based on Vodou rhythms; they love Boukman Eksperyans which, in my view, is the most scientific Rasin group; they love our folkloric presentations that are all inspired from Vodou rites et j'en passe.
For a long time now, it has been recognized that Vodou is a religion like any others, with its own set of beliefs, rites, obligations and so on. Just like some catholics pray or go to church when experiencing some tragedies, so do those who practice Vodou. (By the way, I am not a practicing Vodouist.) You go to Church as a Christian, so do the Vodouist. It is a matter of relating to your environment according to your set of beliefs, whether you are a catholic, a protestant, a Jehovah's witness, a vodouist etc. We are dealing here with different religions and thank God that we have freedom of religion in Haiti. Just like in the catholic religion or any other, there are things that are forbiden in Vodou. Each has its own set of secrets rites that are only open to the initiates. There are things you have to learn and if Vodou is as secretive a religion as it is, this is precisely because in slavery time, the practicing vodouists were systematically hunted down in a effort to eradicate the religion which was viewed by the colonizers as an element of rebellion. One more reason for you not only to understand it and tolerate it, but to learn about the historical and revolutionary role of Vodou in the Independence War.
Well, I did not mean to be so long, but let me finish by suggesting to you, besides the bokk by Milo Rigaud, 2 other excellent, more recent readings by a leading sociologist in Haiti: Laennec Hurbon. The 2 books: Voodoo, Search for the spirits and Voodo: Truth and Fantasy: The first one is very colorful and contains wonderful illustrations of what the author explains about the origins of Voodoo, the differents spirits, the meaning of the signs, the rites etc. I highly recommend both of them which can be bought at Amazon.com.
On that note, my friend, I wish you luck. I hope you can get reconnected to you real roots, whether here, or Haiti, Jamaica, Brazil or else. It is the same, with a few variations.

Haitian American, I don't know who you are, but I can offer you this, you need to read "Les secrets du Vaudou" by Milot Rigaud. I want you to just understand this, since you were born here. When a country is underdeveloped or a part of the third world and the illiteracy is high where at least 15% know how to read and write, and the government doesn't really do anything to make them appreciate their culture, it's a disaster culturally talking. Also, you need to understand that voodoo is being embraced by mostly the poor haitians in one hand, and on the other hand, a lot of rich practice it but they don't want people to know, while a great number in the underclass try to follow the rich, because they ashame of this great part of our culture. I can keep going on and on about it, but, please go try to read the book, there is nothing scary about it or in it. Try to be open-minded about it and after that I would like to read what you have to say. Good luck

I am struggling here. I must say I was taken aback by the interest in the Haitian vodou culture. My birth place is in the US, my parents are Haitian. In my upbringing I was taught to fear vodou. My parents are Christians, but as a child I can recall them sharing stories of the lougawous who roamed and ruled the nights in Haiti, I'm sure they told the stories to get me to bed on time. I have great difficulty tolerating this part of my culture.
It feels so disconnected that I am not willing to accept it. I am not a religious person but I am not open to this at all.
Is this ignorant of me? Please respond.

Ginau, indeed YonYon is the biggest hit at the festival easily surpassing Phillip's. We are out there morning, noon, and night working diligently. Also, I am brushing up on my cooking skills and stealing YonYon secret recipes. How would you all like a "Chez PR"? Look out, YonYon, there is a new sheriff in town.

As I post information about Marx Vilaire Aristide's funeral in New York for those who might be able to go to New York, a few final thoughts.
If anything, there is always something to come out of a tragedy, whatever its dimension. We mourn the death of Marx, but let us not look only at this moment in his life, but also at what he had time to accomplish in his short life, let us look at the whole picture. If you do, you will see that his was an inspiring, dynamic and focussed short life. If anything, as a tribute to Marx, let us all draw from his writings, his interviews, his dreams for Haiti and let us refocus our energies towards helping rebuilding our country, instead of engaging in the empty and endless polemics and pettiness I read on this forum. It is time to go to a higher level. Rony Guiteau's piece should provide us enough inspiration to engage on this path and pay proper tribute to Marx Vilaire Aristide, a Haitian patriot.
May his soul rest in peace!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 22, 2004
HAITIAN ACTIVIST AND LEADER, MARX VILAIRE ARISTIDE, PASSED AWAY ON JUNE 20, 2004
Haitian activist and leader, Marx Vilaire Aristide, passed away on June 20, 2004, at the prime of his life. His death was the result of a tragic car accident in Washington, D.C. Marx Vilaire Aristide, “No relation to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide,” as he would say, was born the second of three children in Gonaïves, Haiti, on March 26, 1967. He migrated to Brooklyn, New York during his teenage years. He later obtained a Bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and a Master’s in Economics from Howard University. Marx was a Research Economist with a wide array of experiences on issues pertaining to Latin America, West Africa, the Caribbean, and Haiti. Marx is survived by his daughter, parents, brother, sister, fiancée, as well as many other loving family members and friends.
If his life could be summed up, one might say that Marx dedicated his life to Haiti and its people. Using his extensive knowledge of Haiti and the Haitian peasantry, he worked for two years in the Haitian countryside to train community-based organizations that were engaged in groundbreaking microfinance initiatives. Marx wrote and lectured frequently on Haiti’s economy and quest for democracy on venues such as ABC’s Nightline, Washington DC’s WUSA TV9, PBS’ McNeil-Lehrer “By the People”, Pacifica Radio, and National Public Radio. Marx was also an accomplished author, having published critically acclaimed articles, such as “Haiti’s Popular Resistance” written with Laurie Richardson. Marx’s many professional achievements included serving as co-founder of Kalfou Kréyòl, co-director of the Quixote Center, Editor-in-Chief of Roots magazine, Executive Director of the Haitian-American Skill Share Foundation, co-Executive Director of Fondation Sémans, and former Executive Director of the Washington Office on Haiti. Along with Danny Glover and Ron Daniels, Marx was instrumental in organizing a cruise to commemorate the bicentennial of Haiti’s independence, which is scheduled for August 2004. That monumental endeavor, which has forged alliances between people of Haitian descent and those throughout the African diaspora, is yet another example of Marx’s life dedication to the empowerment of people of African descent.
Marx’s passion for his Ayiti Chérie (Beloved Haiti) was only matched by his love for his friends and family. Beyond his numerous professional accomplishments, Marx’s impact can be felt in each of those he left behind. He is remembered not only for his keen intellect and magnetic charisma, but also for his ability to see value in everyone. A devoted father, he showered his daughter with love and attention. A loving fiancé, his acts of kindness and affirmation still occupy the space he left behind. He gave respect and dignity to every human being—regardless of class, financial status or ethnic origin. He celebrated our lives, and with infectious laughter, taught us to appreciate them better. He made his time, resources, and love available to us, and unselfishly came to the rescue of many.
Marx’s zeal for life was exemplified by his hobbies—soccer, culture, and the arts. Marx is remembered as an avid soccer fan, whose love for the game came to life on many soccer fields where he played. Marx’s artistic talent will be sorely missed. He taught himself to play the guitar, and enjoyed writing cultural essays, poetry and plays –both in English and his native Haitian Kréyòl.
Marx’s true essence transcends these words and is embodied in his legacy—a legacy of dignity for all, empowerment of people of African descent, love of country, family, and friends. “Onè” (Honor), you told us, Marx; “Respè” (Respect), we respond.
A trust fund is being established for Marx’s 7-year old daughter. Pledges are being accepted at this time. Please forward your name and/or organization, contact information, and pledge offering to friendsofmarx@yahoo.com

I would like to thank those of you who have answered the call for Smithsonian Festival.
The Festival officially starts tomorrow and goes through July 4th. Please make every effort to go there and welcome some of our brothers and sisters from Haiti.
Being a volunteer I can tell you that they (the Haitian artists) appreciate seeing Haitian faces. A lot of them have never been to Washington, DC, and they are surprise to find out that there's a community here, like New York and Miami.
Please come down and say "onè"

Hi All,
For all those who may not have heard, we have lost a dear and caring person who has made significant contributions to the DC metropolitan Haitian community, and has been a champion for the Haitian cause.
Yesterday, at around 11:50 pm, Marx Aristide, author, activist, and former Executive Director of the Washington Office on Haiti, died from severe complications following a fatal car accident on Saturday night. His fiancé, Geraldine Duval was also injured but has survived with God’s grace.
Please keep Marx and Geraldine’s families in your prayers. Also, I believe a special memorial service is being planned which will take place in the next few weeks. I will post information as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, take care and God bless.

I am Jean. I know in this haitian commnuty there are some very educated people but my questions to them, why they don't put their head together to publish a good neswpaper magazine. a few years back there were a couple of them health yourself, trait dUnion, haiti connection but they don't last. every haitian want to have his own thing, does his own thing. but those intellectuals who talk about big words why don't the do that. My opinion is that they prefer to stay away and talk about big things. Come on you can do it guys.

It has been a tough and challenging year to say the least. After the political developments in Haiti, earlier in the year, it seems that the air was taken out of the Bicentennial events.
However, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival staff, Diana, Marsha, Olsen, Patrick, Mirreille, and countless others, pushed forward with their planned Haiti 2004 celebration on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C.
As a volunteer, I had the opportunity last night to welcome many of the artists who will be representing Haiti and her culture. There is an excitement and pride coming back over everyone involved. I can feel an energy building as I look at the smiling faces of the participants, the presenters, and the volunteers.
There's is still a lot of work to be done before this festival can be considered a success. Many volunteers are still needed, if for nothing thing else, just to be there for our brothers and sisters from Haiti. We all could use a collective hug.
***please email me if you would like to volunteer or need more information. The Folklife Festival is in desperate need of volunteers (specially during the week). Those of you, or know of people out of school, please consider volunteering just one day.

I want to thank the community for its support of this idea. Unfortunately, it will not happen as soon as we would like. The manager of Rafrechi told me that the band felt it was not in the best interest of the group to engage in this project so shortly after their release party(marketing purposes). Underestanding that the best things come to those who wait, I want Rafrechi to know that we are practicing this conventional wisdom. Good luck, gentlemen!
Jean Claude, thank you for supporting the idea. It shows that we can still hope for a better community.

We are delighted to witness this recent turn of events. We hope that more among us in this small Haitian community practice tolerance, forgiveness and acceptance of each other’s right of opinion. Alexanon Magazine will be proud to sponsor such event : “The Night of Togetherness” in the name of Unity, through ads on the magazine and on its website.
Congratulations also to Echod’Haiti on an outstanding job, Yves d’Haiti of “Konbit Lakay” for those 20 years of hard work and best wishes to both media. You guys put the first stone! We are following your steps in a collective effort to built a stronger, and a unify community.

A friend called me early this morning to tell me that I must respond to P.R.T's invitation for the "bal of togetherness".However I would also like to clear the air with certain things while I'm here.
I'm inviting every body here to read all my posts,and you'll realize that I never attack anybody or their business on this board.I only respond to those who are using this forum to attack me or my band.PLEASE TAKE NOTE.
Loune I don't know who this new Jean Claude is on the board,but rest assure that it's not me.
Remember that not to long ago somebody sign in as Smooches.
Jean Claude Vivens is no punk,when I sign in I include that I reside in Wheaton MD,my e- mail is jcvivens @ mris.com,and now F.Y.I my ph# is 240-463-7196.Sa poum fè la anko.
The reason that I was upset last week is because that something hit me,and I realize that this is no longer the same community that we used to serve.
J'ai eu l'impression qu'il y a des chimères parmis nous.
This is why I don't want to communicate here any more.I also come to realize that there are only a few people here on this board,they write under different names.That's the reality of this forum.May be I was a fool to expose my self here to the haters.WHY - WHY?
Why should I be part of this nonsense? Why should I bite the bullet all the time?.Why do some people take the pleasure of shooting at me
Smooches,Yves,Torchenot,Zephyr,Harold simply because they know who we are.
P.R.T,Rafrechi is new so this is all new to them, remember I played music with the greatests of the industry people like Fabrice Rouzier,Ti Polis,Ansyto Mercier and many more come on man.I promote the greatests band in the Haitian music industry come on again.Why would I have a problem with Rafrechi who's not even out yet.I only feel that this Apanou did something wrong to me.
I don't have a problem with Rafrechi or with any one else in the community,I already talk to their manager and everything is fine.I will be at their party,and we can do a good show together.
Rony you are right,How can we do that to Dessalines,Pétion,Christophe,Toussaint in 2004.What better present can we give them for the biccentennial other than peace.
Let's have the big PEACE party.
So you can add my name on the list
J C V is for peace.
P.S. WACAHAPA's representation at the D.C Caribbean Carnival this year is:"LE NEGRE MARON".It's a tribute to the first runaway slave.If you would like to receive a free "NEGRE MARON" T-Shirt for the carnival,contact me before Friday June 25th at (240)463-7196

It is pitiful! I am both infuriated and perplexed vis-à-vis the nocuous trend on which the board (site) is being embarked. What has promised to be a lighthouse to guide our collective consciousness toward togetherness and perhaps righteousness, seems to be unweariedly transforming into a forum of uncongenial and unscrupulous triviality. As a people and a community, we must continuously strive to resolve our disagreements via constructive dialogue, mutual understanding and respect. Above all, we should cultivate and learn to practice criticism and tolerance.
Infighting has damaged and continues to destroy not only our nation, but also, and to a certain extent, our values and cultural fabrics. Our bicentennial of independence, had it not been for some dedicated national and international personalities, would have passed by like an ordinary date similar to numerous others. Our leaders -- opposition and government -- were unable to transcend themselves, not even to observe a truce to commemorate that momentous and historical chapter in our national existence. Truthfully, our illness requires a painstaking “diagnostic”!
Whatever the metrics, a well deserved tribute should have been paid to our founding fathers. The political struggle -- what struggle should I murmur? -- could have resumed after that gesture of high civism, patriotism and respect for our ancestors. Unfortunately, it was not the case.
Is this the kind of behavior we want to exhibit, portray and depict on the board? My aim is neither to point fingers nor to reprimand. It is rather to call upon our sense of honor and integrity. By honoring and respecting each other’s point of view, we project images of greatness, humanness, self-esteem, civility and altruism.

In recent weeks, the Echodahiti.com family witnessed what was once a promise to blossom by 2 locally emerging bands degenerated into ugly feud. This experience is a poor reflection of us as a community and the bands. I would like to extend a public invitation to both Rafrechi and Trankill to look pass the shenanigans of others. I would like for both bands to collaborate their efforts in a " Bal of Togetherness" sometime in the near future. This collaboration will benefit our community as a whole. I would like for both Rafrechi and Trankill to publicly seize this opportunity to move forward in positive direction.

Map salye nou ankò sou fowòm lan.
Anvan mwen di anyen lòt, lè map reli sa mwen ekri sou CD a, mwen jwen kèk erè nan tèks mwen an. Map eskize mwen, malgre mwen reli tèt mwen, gen kèk bagay ki pase kanmenm. Men, mwen swete sa pa anpeche nou konpran sa mwen ekri a.
Pandan map chache li tou sa ki te ekri nan semen anvan yo, mwen wè nan mwa me a, yon mwa mwen te okipe anpil, mwen pat gen tan li Echo D'Haïti ditou ditou, gen yon moun ki te mande yon kesyon sou J.C. Duvalier ak lekòl Saint-Louis de Gonzague. Mwen pa kwè li twò ta pou mwen ta bay yon ti enfòmasyon sou sa. Wi, mwen fè tout letid mwen nan Saint Louis de Gonzague. Wi, J.C. Duvalier te pase nan menm lekòl la, apre sa li te ale nan Collège Bird. Li te 3 pwomosyon apre mwen, kididonk mwen fini Saint Louis byen anvan misye. Mwen sonje li te toujou dènye nan klas li, men chak ane, ou te toujou wè li nan klas apre a.....Anfen se listwa. Si gen anpil bagay mwen konen, se byen gras a bon jan edikasyon mwen te resevwa nan lekòl sa. Pandan ke Saint Louis te bay, e li kontinye ap bay bon jan edikasyon nan peyi a, malerezman, fòk mwen di li bay yon pakèt gwo reyaksyonè nan peyi a tou: J.C. Claude Duvalier, Cedras, Biambi e gen anpil lòt ankò. Antouka, se la vi... Map kanpe la.

I fully agree with Yves Dayiti and I support him and congratulate him. This is the only thing that has managed to survive for so long in this community. Konbit Lakay has become a part of our community and for the entire community at large. American friends of mine as well as other nationalities have told me that they listen to Yves every Saturday night. One thing for sure, we have to admit that there are many ti vagabon and ti visieu nan Kominote-a. We have to denounce them. Many people want to take financial advantage of what they are trying to do even though they said that they are trying to help. Yves does not take money from no one. He is a true patriot and a true member of this community. If you guys and gals don't understand and appreciate that, you guys are dead wrong and do not like this community to move forward. Vagabon toujou ret vagabon.
Yves congratulations and keep on going. You are doing a great job.

Yves Dayiti,I don't know you or any of these other guys but you just made it clear that you don't want to be part of the solution/peace.Which can make readers feel that you are part of the problem.
you did not sound like a civilize person,you sound like a macahn'n + bosal.
When you point your index finger at others remember your thumb is pointing at you.
I like your show,,,,,,,,,today I give you a big ZERO.
You can do better than that-DO IT.

This is a very ambiguous answer to very clear and simple question, Yves. Well, the idea of having learned from my mistakes is very encouraging, it shows that the probability of my advancement is quite good. But, what mistakes are you refering to? Disagreeing with you? Yves, 20 years is a long time whatever way you look at it. Unfortunately, you've made no positive difference, in fact, you could be held in part as an agent of cause for the decadence of this communtiy.
Le peuple, obviously you've transcended beyond the typical narrow-mindedness of some haitians. You can not expect the same for everybody. Good luck in your quest!

what's the difference,where is the difference,how are you different if you just answered that you are not for peace.
you are the same one who ask for peace in the midle east(cote moune ap tue moune)on the radio,but you are not for your peace in our community.
which one is harder to do.
no one died here, only maybe a few exchange of words and disagreements come on people, again nothing but ego ego ego.
who are we to judge others when in fact we are acting the same way.
some people,many people also said that they have seen your true colors too yves.it all depends yves.
we are out of the corridors now it's time to put the corridors out of us.
correct it guys.bury your swords guys and lets plant some palm trees for a better community.1804-2004 time to repent.

- Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 17:26:28 (EDT)
Le peuple, thank you very much. I had a long day today at work: meeting after meeting after meeting. Let me first start by saying that I have nothing personal against many individuals in the community. Of course as a person behind a microphone, people may like what I said or may dislike it. But that does not mean that they are my enemy. No on the contrary, I am always open to dialogue and coomunication. Many people do not know mw and they only go by what someone else told them while that someone else has had a beef with me. I think Pierre Richard has learned from his mistakes and has grown up considerably. Harold Charles is a member of this community like me or anyone else. from my personal observation, he is only interested in Harold Charles and no one else. And he thinks that he can outsmart everyone else. I may be wrong but so far that is what I have seen. I have nothing against him. I do not even know him that well to have a grudge against the man. For some others, that is another story. There is a proverb that says: "you can dress a donkey anyway you can, but comes midnight it will show you that you are dealing with a donkey". There are some individuals in this community who have proven to me their true colors despite giving them the benefits of the doubt. For that reason, I will never be associated or have any dealing whatsoever with them no matter what. They know very well who they are.
Regarding Sweet Mickey, I have nothing personnal against Sweet Mickey. he does not know me and I don't know him. But there is a minimum amount of respect that we owe one another. Mickey came here and on many occasions blasted me and even my mother. I nver said anything bad about the man. This is totally unacceptable and I will not go for it. For me to play Mickey's music, He has to come here and apologize publickly during one of his shows. Otherwise, I will never, ever play Sweet Mickey on my show. He has to understand that when you as an artist come to a community to perform, you do not mingle into that community's issues unless you know what is going on and are a member of this community. I respect him as an artist and he has to respect me as a Haitian and as a radio host.
So Le Peuple, I expect to see you on Saturday.

Hey Alexanon,
Before you post things and have us up in arms please do some research its as easy as "Google it"!!!!
Gang Initiation Warning in PG County, is an "Urban Legend"
Read below...
Flash Your Headlights and Die!
Netlore Archive: Resurgence of urban legend about aspiring gang members driving without their lights on and opening fire on oncoming drivers who flash their own headlights as a courtesy
Description: Urban legend
Circulating since: 1993/earlier
Status: False
Analysis: See comments
As told by Paul Hartwell, 11/20/97:
I heard this one about a year ago when I was living up in Seattle. The teller seemed to think it was happening at that time in and around the Pugetopolis, but that seemed unlikely to me. However, if the story were told in the context of, say, Los Angeles (or even New York, Chicago, Detroit, etc.) it would actually seem sort of plausible. Anyway, here goes:
The story is that a new gang initiation ritual has become prevalent in our city. The hoodlums pile in a car, at night, and drive the highways and byways with their lights off. The first person who 'flashes' them with their lights (in the time-honored gesture of 'hey, idiot, your lights are off!') becomes their prey. The gangbangers then pursue the samaritan and the initiate must gun him or her down without mercy.
Sounds like a myth, right? But do you suppose there is a kernel of truth to the rumor; that perhaps somewhere at sometime some thugs did, in fact, use this modus operandi?
Comments: Sounds like a myth and is a myth. Since the early '90s, this rumor has hit just about every major city in the U.S., but there are no documented cases of incidents exactly fitting this description occurring, except for an apparent copycat instance in Wichita in 1993 (cited in the AFU & Urban Legends Archive).
In late October of 1998, email versions of the "Lights Out" legend went into wide circulation, perhaps inspired by the popular horror film Urban Legend, in which it figured prominently. The email alerts sparked a new flurry of panicked inquiries to police departments in localities all over the U.S., most of which seemed to be familiar with the rumor but could not substantiate it.
John Moore, senior research associate at the National Youth Gang Center based in Tallahassee, confirmed for the Washington Post in November 1998 that the "Lights Out" story is, to his knowledge, false: "I know of no incident in the country where this type of thing occurred," he told the Post. "This is one of the wonders of the Internet, that you can take something that has no basis in fact and make people believe it."
A few law enforcement agencies, while maintaining that the rumor is false, were still recommending to the public to play it safe when driving in areas where gang activities take place. They probably feared that growing publicity would spark another copycat occurrence.

To all the members of the EchoDhaiti.com family:
In case some of you does not have a clue as to what I am talking about and for some of us with selective memory: my name is Yves and I am the host of the weekly haitian radio program: Konbit Lakay heard each and every Saturday from 10PM to Midnight on WPFW 89.3 FM radio in Washington DC. It has been 20 years since I have been offering my services to this community. It has not been easy and no one said that it was going to be a piece of cake. In appreciation of the support that I have received over the years from many of you especially from Gineau, I would like to extend this invitation to all the members of the EchoDhaiti family to an open studio house that we are having on Saturday June 19, 2004 from 9PM to 12AM in the local of the radio station located on 2390 Champlain Street in Washington DC in the heart of the Adams Morgan Community. Once again I am hoping to see many of you stopping by to say hello. I personally would like to say: "THANK YOU" to each and everyone of you.

Yes, there will be a float. By having a big band on the float, we will not be able to have a crowd on the float. Right now, (depending on how big the float will be), it will be HSA & Lakay Productions staff, the band, and our sponsors. This is only for RIGHT NOW.
Thanks

Ok...back to HSA now...
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! and some more THANK YOU to each and everyone one of you that came yesterday to get a CAR WASH. I don't even know how to say "THANK YOU" anymore. I could not believe the support that I saw yesterday. Yes, we, HSA, worked our a**** off but it was all worth it. We had a great support from the community. I was thrill and so happy. I didn't expect much because it was our first CAR WASH and mother nature (weather) was on PMS....lol
We washed our first car in the rain and it was "NIXON's" car. Se gade mwen gade mwen we nou envayi ak machine pou nou lave. It was traffic out there. Minm blan vin lave machine yo. I just could not believe it. We did raised some money. People were stopping by just to donate money. Yo pat minm bezwen lave machine yo. WE DID IT!!!
Get ready DC...this weekend will be a BLAST.
Friday night-----meet us at the SAHARA OASIS. Still our usuall friday night hang out. Minimum donation is $5. Vin pran ti plezi nou
Saturday night-----THIS IS IT. Vin chofe KANAVAL la. This will be our last fund-raising party before the KANAVAL. This is what we call "PRE-KANAVAL". Sahara Oasis with Master Konpa. $10 at the door. You know how we do it on PRE-KANAVAL. Please wear your red & blue and bring your flag. Let's represent BIG TIME. We will also have T-shirts on sale.
Sunday--------From 10am to 4pm we will be (again)at the College Park Fire station washing cars. Yes, another HSA CAR WASH. Come...Come...Come!!!. Ap gin bon pate, du riz ak legim pou ven. Come have fun and hang out with us. Ap bon mizik kanaval tou wi.

Good Morning my echo peeps....
Before I give you HSA's report for the weekend and this weekend update I want to say first....
It's sad to see how we can not get along in this community. We always find a way to bad mouth each other. Minm sou intenet nou bay kout lang. I am new in this entertainment business and I tell you se pou grin pou konbat anba mechan yo. Nou pa wont? Why can't we all have fun and still do our things at the same time. Why not support each other? What's wrong with that? Whynot be happy to see success among us? Gin le se mwen selman ki we bagay yo yon lot jen.
Aji and RAFRECHI....mwen fanatik nou tou de. You will NEVER see me take side or put one of you down. NEVER! I support both of you and will keep supporting the groups. Sak te gin tan gin la pou tout bagay sa yo? We are all in the same business. Aji pa kouri point finger. I can honestly say this is not RAFRECHI's style. Trust me!. I personally know them and not ONCE they've said anything bad about TRANKIL. Tout sa yo fe yo met TRANKIL ladan. Those guys are all about making music and getting ready for July 3rd. I think it will be very STUPID of them pou yo ta paret la sou board vin pale TRANKIL mal. Li pa tap yon smart move. So pa kouri di se RAFRECHI. Pa pense se pran map pran pou yo non. I would have said the same for you aji. I know you and RAFRECHI personally and know what you (both) are capable of. This is uncall for. Aji ou pa bezwen kite board la pou sa.
Remember this is an internet world. It's nothing but characters in here. Surtout jen site sa ye. Anyone can come and sign in under any name pou yo fe dega. I bit you anything moun sa se den li lap griyin ni sou ou ni sou RAFRECHI. Don't let this get over your heads. Depi sou intenet sou sipoze aten ou ak ki ninpot tintin. That's just the way it is on the internet. Gade sa yo te fe'm. Yon ki te gin kek bagay ave'm that I didn't even know about te soti pou li detwi repitasyon'm sou board la. But you all know me and knew what I am capable of doing. Anybody can be "smoochees" in here pou yo vin fe dezod.
You guys "POZE" tande. pa kite "HATER" vin met dezinyon pami nou. Big BIGGER and show this "APANOU" (who ever he is) that nou pa pran nan maniget li (smile)

For those who rant all day about foreign troops in Haiti but aren't willing to put in the work that they are doing. Here is a peice of an article:
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - With thousands of flood victims in Haiti awaiting food and drinking water, aid agencies said they are struggling to reach isolated villages and urged U.S.-led peacekeepers to keep offering helicopters for relief shipments
More than a week after troops stopped ferrying shipments by helicopter, the forces made an exception Thursday, dispatching a U.S. Army Chinook on three trips to the hard-hit southern town of Mapou with more than 16 tons of food and water, officials said.

Jean Claude,
This Apanou is a new kid on the block. I am not the one you had the beef with before. I would have been man enough to tell you that's me. KI SA POU'M TA PE LA. Do you really think that I would check all the screennames on the board before I post a message? NOPE. This is actually my 3rd time posting on this board which is also my last because I'm not use to this kind of non-sense.
You are playing mind game right now to discredite the group... TOO BAD... RAFRECHI is too busy rehearsing for July 3rd, we don't have time for negativities and childish games. We always praise the goods. Ask smooches, she would tell you. We only have love for TRANKILL Big man.
Right now, your old pal Apanou is probably laughing at you. POZE Jean Claude. Ou bezoin yon ti RAFRECHI pou cool you down. As a matter of fact, the group TRANKILL already has a reserve table for our 1st performance.
Good bye Jean Claude, you just dial a wrong number. Keep searching. We don't want to take that route with you.
In RAFRECHI "WE DON'T HATE, WE CONGRATULATE."
Peace and love ...... Good Bye my people.....

Today I'm writing to sign off on echodhaiti.com
It's not because of pastè Anmwé,but because of Apanou who on JUNE 09,2004 at 23:43:48 ((EDT)identify himself as a member of the band RAFRECHI.
Finally I'm tired of the little games that are being played here on echo.
I've never attack anyone or their business in this forum,I only take the time to shed the light on misunderstanding and matters that concern me.I use this forum to interact with you as a community like saying happy birthday to a lovely lady. I use it to remind you of the JCV activities and also to bring you a little music/football news.
I hope that my contribution has been well recieved by many,but just like Serge Bellegarde I'm walking away from this forum.
There was no reason for Apanou who now say that he is a musician of RAFRECHI to attack me on echodhaiti after the first TRANKILL show.That's low.
In music my man, if you want to compete,you should do it with good konpa not with negative words on echodhaiti.
I'm always nice to the members of RAFRECHI,I gave four VIP tickets to DJ WOOLADO for the group to attend the first TRANKILL show at Napoli on April 10,2004.
On April 12 just 2 days after my band's very first show 3 gentlemen by the names of Gilbert Cantave ( a false name),Arthur and APANOU(who obviously used my courtesy ticket) try their very best to kill me and my music project here on echodhaiti. That's not fair.
Now ladies and gentleman of the JURY,I invite you to scroll down to Monday, April 12,2004 at 15:33:47(EDT)to read the posting of Apanou(who is also Arthur)in respond to someone by the name of keke who had a positive remark about my show.
Check out his writing style,he doesn't know how to use the é-à-è,he also don't write the city/state.Unlike chaviré (another Rafrechi member) who had some kind words for TRANKILL,Apanou doesn't write his email adress.
I'm not blaming all the members of the group for the action of one person,but I have every right to watch my back because I don't know which one of the five is APA NOU , APA OU, APALI or APAYO.
I demand an apology from the responsible and caring members of the group,and hope that they can find out who among them is the bad apple.
Anything else will mean that Rafrechi's mission is one that stats with a sour note.I also hope that this community can always remember who cast the first stone.
FOR SO LONG ECHO.

Did you folks know that Haiti is the theme for this year's Smithsonian Folklife festival? The Smithsonian is honoring our culture for two weeks and not a word is being spoken about it. Millions of dollars are being spent to display our "beloved" culture right here in the heart of this cummunity. Jean Claude Vivens, have you mentioned anything about this to your audience? Yves Dayiti, have you shared any of this with your listeners?
Did the "Haitian Empowerment Movement" end at the "march" for haitian empowerment better known as "la marche du desespoir"?

Red Cross Provides Ongoing Support in Haiti, Dominican Republic
Written by Lesly Hallman , Staff Writer, RedCross.org
Monday, June 07, 2004 — The American Red Cross continues to support rescue efforts in Haiti and the Dominican Republic after heavy rains killed at least 2,000 people in late May.
Officials continue to tally the human and economic toll of the disaster. Most of the dead were in Haiti, where at least 1,000 people were killed and 1,600 are still missing.
You can help those affected by the flooding in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and countless other crises around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance, and other support to those in need. Donate online or call 1-800-HELP NOW or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish). Donations can also be mailed to your local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
Specify that you want your donation to go to Haiti relief fund.

Ignorance can't be an excuse. And it will not be pardoned.
Principle of Judgment #1: The moral man is rendered inexcusable before God the righteous Judge.This verse is talking about a person who is passing judgment on another, condemning the actions of another. Hence, it is talking about the moral person (the person with moral discernment, the person who passes a moral judgment on someone). There is a difference between the moral man and the heathen man. In Romans 1:32 the heathen man APPROVES and APPLAUDS sinful conduct but in Romans 2:1 the moral man DISAPPROVES and JUDGES sinful conduct.
The moral man condemns another for sinful conduct but since he himself is guilty of the same thing he is in effect condemning himself.
Principle of Judgment #4: Men should not run away from God (v.3 -- "escape" is impossible) but they should run to God (v.4 -- "repentance" is essential).
Goodness = kindness, Generosity. God’s goodness extends to all men (see Matthew 5:45 and Acts 14:17).

RAFRECHI is a digital band with 5 musicians, but we still have room for more dedicated musicians. We play a sweet kompa with an R&B twist at times. A lot of people already labelled us as DJAZZ DOUSSS. We are working very hard to bring you much fun on July 3 ... This is an event you can't afford to miss... See you at the party... Make sure you introduce yourself to us because we will be looking for La Belle Sonia.
Mama, thank you for stopping by last weekend. How do you like RAFRECHI's demo CD?
Smooches, "Happy Birhday". I command you. You and your girls are doing all the right stuffs for this year's carnival. The community needs more girls like you to represent. Good luck at the Carnival! You already know our spot on Georgia. Let us see you when you passing by.

My house is not grand central station,it's not metro center.Therefore you must be someone I consider as a friend because very few people have been to my house.
Just this Tuesday you said it yourself and let me quote you my friend: "I hate him,he is a wack".
I can't expect you to see the light or the point I'm trying to make because you are covered with hatred.It's only unfortunate that this is the only place in this community where YOU can hide to throw your rocks.Epi sé ou men'm kap jigé'm tou patnè.

You've been calling me all sort of names here.Fine,I only have one for you:INGRAT.

You are dodging the bullet, you are a shifty man. Stand your ground don’t try to change. You said what you said and regret it and now you are trying to change, it’s in black and white. It's been permanently stained in my memory, turncoat. Stick to your guns, don’t give in. You’re feeling a little guilty, huh. Breaking down "a word" (duty), just to prove your point, seems like desperate measures. Stop clinging on to it, the rope is getting tighter, don’t you feel it. Don’t be ridiculous, no one is asking you to get the Pope to change your tires, you are being silly. No one is asking you to empty out your bank account and no one personally asked you for anything. It was a simple concern about contributing to victims in Haiti. Ampi dats it.
You gave us an address, thank you.
That’s all you had to do, keep your nonsense to yourself. Sarcastic comments only push people’s buttons, so you will get a reaction.
Mama said; if you can't say anything good don't say anything at all…
Haitian-American said a percentage of an event, not the whole kitten-kaboodle. If you can’t handle it, take your own advice and don’t make any comments at all.” People should know where they are strong and bring their knowledge to that end” Jean Claude Vivens.
Again another one of your bright ideas…,"However I don't think that WE the poor D.C entertainers should be the one raising money for the victims of the flood" Jean Claude Vivens. My, you are so eloquent.
I’ve been to your house, you can’t spare a dime.
"Jesus saw a poor widow. She put two small copper coins into the box. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth. This poor widow gave only two small coins. But she really gave more than all those rich people. The rich people have plenty; they gave only what they did not need. This woman is very poor. But she gave all she had. And she needed that money to help her live"." Luke 21
Let see, was it her "duty" to give to the poor?

People please.
Let me say it again IT'S NOT MY DUTY.
Does that mean that I don't care,that I don't love my country,that I don't love my fellow Haitians. NO.
Artists can contribute,can perform free, can show support,but it should not be their duties to take CHARGE of flood victims.
I don't expect the politicians to sing konpa on top of the float on carnival day,I don't expect the priest to fix my car,nor do I expect the mechanic to deliver my baby.
People should know where they are strong and bring their knowledge to that end. One of the problems in our society is that too many of us refuse to say that "they don't know" when in fact they don't know something.

Poor my a**. Poor is the people in Haiti who don't have a goud to their name and have to drink from dirty pipes in the filthy, muddy roads of Haiti. That's poor! Why is he passing the buck! That's what I hate about Haitians they are always passing the buck and waiting for some one else to take the lead whenever it comes to helping out the community. But when there is a bal or Kanaval everyone is fighting to take charge! Of course this is our duty! This is the duty of every last Haitian person weather "poor" or "rich" in America or France we all need to put our resources together and help out. I hate him! He is WACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for answering my questions. I now understand what HSA mission is. As far as what Mr.Vivens said about it not being our duty to support Haitians in Haiti and the relief fund. It has always been strange to me how I as a Haitian-American feel a duty towards Haiti and those who were born there do not feel that same sense of having to help. I would suggest that some of the $ recieved should go toward some kind of donation to the relief fund. Remember the tables could be easily turned and we could be them and them us.
Anyway I will try to support HSA in any way that I can see you all at the Kanaval!!!
PS. Another great suggestion :) I think that at the carnival you should prepare fliers to advertise the many great things our community offers so that others can join.

We all love our country and sympatize to what happen to our brothers and sisters in Haiti.However I don't think that WE the poor D.C entertainers should be the one raising money for the victims of the flood. We can contribute off couse, but no one should make us feel that it's our duty.This should be the job of the political activists, the politicians,the red + and other organizations of that nature.Don't ask your travel agent to fly the jet.
This is the caribbean carnival month in Washington D.C,our job is to raise money to represent Haiti at the competitive caribbean parade.
This year Wacahapa did not recieve any money from individuals,we did not do any fundraising parties neither.No one besides our members and sponsors can say that they contribute to the carnival fund.
I think that HSA is doing a good job so far.Bringing a band from elsewhere for the carnival is not an easy task.We did that with KOUDJAY in 2002,and I know what's ahead for HSA,especially the day of the parade.
We are trying our best to help them because after all it's one love, one flag, one country, one nation.

To answer your last question, HSA is all about serving our community. Bringing fun to you all. We are young professionals in the area who are trying to make a difference. We are all about putting our heads together and make things happen min this community. One of our big projects this year is the KANAVAL. We took it upon our selves to represent our country to the fullest. From now on HSA will be doing KANAVAL every year. We also have other events that we are involve in. For example, picnics, cultural events, and fund-raising parties. We love and enjoy what we do. We put all of our efforts and heart to please our community.
If you wanna know more about this year event/HSA, visit our webpage on echo.

Grandefemme....the money that we are raising is for the KANAVAL expenses. Every donation and fund-raising money is going straight to building the float, sound system, truck, flyers, advertisement, misc expenses, t-shirts, decorations, the band, e san kote moun kap ede nou yo. It's a lot....trust me. We are not raising for ourselves. If anything we are putting our own money into this. The rest will be coming from us. Hope that answers your question.

Ane si la KANAVAL LA AP PI BEL. For the first time in the Washington DC area, we are bringing one of the well known haitian band********TOP VICE*******for the carribean KANAVAL. Yes, you heard right, Top Vice will be on the float this year going down on Georgia with us.
Get ready people. This is going to be one to remember. We have lots to do till June 26th. We desperately need your support. We are doing this for you and only you. All we ask back from you guys is your support. HSA along can not do it on our own. We took a responsibility, we say we will do this, we made promises, therefore we owe it to you guys to deliver and we will. It's hard work and I thought this was going to be a piece of cake....Map kon joj (smile). Like I said we are doing this for our community, you guys, and our country. We need you behind us to a 100%. We have no time left. All deals have been made with the band so we must move forward. GET READY DC!!!
We are still having our friday fund-raising at Sahara. Come out and show your support. My team and I are down there every friday night, even when it's pouring down. Nou gin yon responsabilite nan min nou so we can not be playing around. Thank God for the rest of HSA team. They are keeping me together. Many time I came that close to give up telman mwen te dekouraje and one of member said to me: "Farah, mwen ta pito pran machine mwen dekore li en rouj e bleu lage'l sou georgia a nap soti pou kanaval sa kan meme"....WOW! that was too touchy for me. There's no way I could have turned my back to them. She brought my spirit back. We need more people like her. Each and every one of them are devoted to this. They said DC wants KANAVAL and we are going to give them one to remember.
We will be in College Park with CAM TRANSFER this Sunday in front of the fire station by the university washing cars to raise money. The cost is $10 per car and TRUST me, you will get a hell of a WASH. Hey HSA in booty shorts.....se pa blag non. Map tan nou tout. Bring your car and show us your support.
T-shirt for sale will be available soon. The color this year (as usual) will be red, blue and white. Neg maron 1804 will be in the front and the back will have our info (HSA/TOP VICE/LAKAY PRODUCTIONS). Will keep you update.
Fund raising party with MASTER KONPA, JUNE 19 at the Sahara Oasis. Admission $10. COME!!! COME!!! COME!!! COME!!!! vin chofe bagay yo...
Also Theatre Lakay will be giving a performance for the WORLD REFUGEE DAY on the 19th at 3pm at the National Geographic Museum at Explorers Hall 1145 17th street NW, Washington DC. It's a free show for our refugee. Come see us dance our culture away.
Top Vice will be playing the night of the KANAVAL (June 26th). More info to come.
Last Saturday we had an interview with Yves Dhaiti at the radio station. It was a very nice interview. 3 of the HSA memeber along with HSA's president went down to the station and spoke to our community. If you missed it, tune in this Saturday night at 10pm.

Besides the Christian Community, any of you party animals contributing towards the relief fund concerning the flood in Fond Verrettes. I havent heard a thing yet. How about a percentage of the funds collected for Summer Fest 2004 going towards the relief fund. I usually dont party, however for a good cause like raising money for the flood victims, I'll come out and support. "The Red Cross estimates that as many as 10,000 people urgently need food, drinking water and basic relief items." I think its going to take everyone's involvement to make a difference.

BTW, Can someone compile a listing of all the Haitian owned businesses in the community and post it. I'm all about supporting my Haitian brothers and sisters. Thank you.

Floods Kill 500 in Haiti, Dominican Republic
By Joseph Guyler Delva
FOND VERETTES, Haiti (Reuters) - Floods and mudslides have killed more than 500 people in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, many of them swept to their deaths when rain-swollen rivers burst their banks, authorities in the two neighboring Caribbean countries said on Tuesday.
In the hard-hit Haitian town of Fond Verettes, floodwaters rose from a previously dry riverbed and swept through the streets, washing away buildings or burying them under tons of rock and gravel. At least 158 people were killed in the town of 40,000, local officials said.
The rest of the article can be found on Yahoo.com. Prayers for the grieving families.

Konpa fèst la sé té sa nèt.
Noel té mété twop radott hip hop nan mitan pwogram nan ki kozz ké Djakout té sèlman jwé pou 10 min.So fanatik Djakout yo ak mizicien Djakout yo faché paské Djakout tap krazé festival la, malgré la pli tout moune kanpé ap rélé anmwé dé men an lè.
Lè pouchon di ké saa té sipozé gnou féstival konpa é pi li viré do li,li vlé di ké Kassav pat dwé fèmen cho wa.
Fanatik éksité voyé boutey dlo,boutey biè sou stage la san rété.Kassav yo menm pa santi ké yo konfortab pou yo monté nan sitiyasion sa yo, sé sa ki fè Kassav pa jwé.
Té gen an pil lobèy back stage.
Le plus haut Shoubou di ké li té nan réunion jeudi avèk tout diaz yo é Kassav té la tou.Jacques Sauveur Jean fè toute lundi aprè midi avèk mwen nan PVS office Reynald Delerme (Baba),JSJ di mwen ké nèg Kassav yo té paré,é ou té wè JSJ té chanté nan cho wa.JSJ di'm tou ké li pa contan ké yo fouré Kassav nan féstival Konpa.
Bravo to T.Vice-Carimi & Konpa Kréyol I think that those groups can really take the konpa to another level.They didn't just play music they put on a show with dancers-enfin BEL BAGAY. NO DIOL TO TALK.
On another note Robert Martino is no longer with Sweet Mikey.Mikey is now talking to Gardy the guitar player of TRANKILL to replace Robert.
Sa poum fè la.Yo Kassé ponyèt mwen.
En tout cas TRANKILL pap krazé.Si gardy alé nan Mikey sé Fritz G Aubin ki pral remplasé li.

Grandefemme, the festival was a success besides the fact that it started late and finished before the time predicted. There was some technical difficulties as far as setting up the stage, that's what took so long. Then KASSAV did not have a chance to play, it was supposed to be the last group to perform. Well, to tell you the truth, I don't even think the musicians were there. Also, because of that, things have started to get ugly, since the police corps was present, they made everybody leave the park. After all, it was nice, all the other bands did their part with nice performance.

Guys, let's take it easy, everyone is entitled to their own
opinion, don't make this little disagreement turns to
uglyness. Today is "FETE DU DRAPEAU" in haiti. I
know the atmosphere in haiti has not been so calm or
cool, after all, remember this is still our flag and our
country, therefore, let's celebrate them both spiritually
since we are not at home. For one day, stop the

"map swiv,
Did you actually beleive that Haiti was going to be crime free in two months? That will never be possible. One thing I would invite you to think about is: JBA had a system that was working. That system was not acting in the interest of the majority, but it was producing fruits that JBA wanted i.e produce chimeres, create heatred between groups, and destroyning our infrastructures. "
Wow!! Chimeres/"Freedom Fighters"/"Elites" new name for macoutes. "Hatred between groups" Wow! again. Is that like neg potoprens and neg nan mon? the "elite" and the masses? the educated and the non? the dyapora and the "true Haitian"? JBA created that? Wow! and they said he did nothing for the country.
Infrastructure?? I'm sure that was a typo. I won't even respond to that. I'd be surprised if that word has EVER been spoken in Haiti, without being followed by laughter or confusion.
"The new government has to stop these practices: juge some people who commited crimes, provide for a people that has no job, no profession and no clear understanding of how to solve their problems. I may add that the government found no money to tackle these problems. I really beleive, as haitians, our work should be to help the government to be successful. This government did not force JBA to take the direction he took. We need to stop complaining about what the government has not been able to do so far. We need to start offering advice, so Haiti can see a better day. I know you are on Moun.com, Latortue is asking for advice, if you have a point that you think is useful, bring it forth. "
Judging people? Latortue called the "rebels" "freedom fighters." They were neither. Haitian government without money. Wow! When was the last time the Haitian gov't HAD money, maybe we should ask Jean Pierre Boyer. Stop complaining and help the gov't succeed? Wow! what a concept, maybe we should have done that FOUR years ago. By the way I am not on moun.com. Echo is my only love.
"There is no magician that could do what you are asking Latortue to do in that short period of time and without any money. Do you know that Boniface will not even go to Archaie pour la fete du drapeau because he thinks the little money that they have should be spent repairing the General Hospital. I think this is a good example of priority. It looks to me that you have some sense, use it."
Wow!Wow!Wow! Boniface won't take a vacation to Archaie. We should save, what? 100? 200? gourdes? that should feed the whole population of Archaie.
I was raising a question about whether what happened was worth it. Whether we are trully heading in a new direction or whether we just have a new driver.

As we may now reflect on what happened earlier this year, it is a black eye for democracy and Haitian pride. What have we accomplished with the turnover of the gov't? Let's for argument sake say the Lavalas party was corrupted and killing people, can we honestly say that these things have stopped? no one is dying? and there's no more corruption?
We let outsiders overinfluence our thinking and manipulate us into this mess we're in right now. We are an occupied land, with apologies to Toussaint, Dessalines, and Christophe, with a puppet gov't. May our ancestors forgive us, again.

Here is part of an article:
Haiti to review suspect telecoms contracts signed by Aristide government
Asia Intelligence Wire
The Telecommunications Company [Teleco] is preparing to review the contracts signed with second-level international companies within the framework of the distribution of international calls. The director-general of Teleco has denounced the former regime, which made a lot of money by granting preferential rates to some foreign companies which were reselling services to big companies. Teleco Director-General Rene Meronney explained as follows:
[Meronney - recording, in Creole] What the people need to know is that the former regime did not exactly receive money directly from Teleco's account or from the company itself. What happened was that to transfer international calls to Haiti, with big companies such as AT&T, MCI and Bell Canada, for example, the Telecommunications Company signed contracts with them. Teleco sets the price of the calls at 23 cents a minute. And in the case of the former regime, they signed contracts with some lower-level international companies and let them pay six cents a minute [to Teleco]. And these sub-companies then resold the minute for 16 or 18 cents. So now, these small companies made a profit of about 12 cents a minute and shared this money with the former regime.
Legally speaking, we can say that these intermediary companies have a legal contract which stipulates that they have to pay six cents per minute. But they in fact sell the minutes for a lot more than that and the profit is shared between them. And this brings a lot of money for them. But they only pay six cents to Teleco.

The Agronomist • by director Jonathan Demme
Owner of Haiti's only free radio station, Haitian national hero and freedom fighter Jean Léopold Dominique clashed with his country's various repressive governments and spent much of the 1990s in exile in New York. Following the reinstatement of a democratically elected government, director Jonathan Demme filmed Dominique's triumphant return to Port-au-Prince in 1994. Dominique's still-unsolved assassination in 2000 moved Demme to assemble over a decade's worth of footage to create a testament to an indefatigable man and his legacy who thought of himself chiefly as a simple man of the countryside, an agronomist.

For All Us Moms Out There...
This is for all the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here."
For the mothers who walk around the house all night with their babies when they keep crying and won't stop.
This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.
For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween costumes. And for all the mothers who DON'T.
This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see. And for the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes.
This is for all the mothers who froze their buns off on metal bleachers at baseball games Friday night instead of watching from cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see me?" they could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it.
This is for all the mothers who yell at their kids in the grocery store and swat them in despair when they stomp their feet like a tired 2-year old who wants ice cream before dinner.
This is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and explained all about making babies.
And for all the mothers who wanted to but just couldn't.
For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year. And then read it again. "Just one more time."
This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their shoelaces before they started school. And for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead.
This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot.
This is for all mothers whose heads turn automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at home.
This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach aches, assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to get calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up......right away.
This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the words to reach them.
For all the mothers who bite their lips sometimes until they bleed - when their 14 year olds dye their hair green.
What makes a good Mother anyway?
Is it patience?
Compassion?
Broad hips?
The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time?
Or is it heart?
Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?
The jolt that takes you from sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2 A.M. to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?
The need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you hear news of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?
For all the mothers of the victims of all these school shootings, and the mothers of those who did the shooting.
For the mothers of the survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, hugging their child who just came home from school, safely.
This is for mothers who put pinwheels and teddy bears on their children's graves.
This is for young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation.
And mature mothers learning to let go.
For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers.
Single mothers and married mothers.
Mothers with money, mothers without.
This is for you all.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

This year, the United Nations High Commisioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will commemorate WORLD REFUGEE DAY for the fourth time with the inpirational theme: "To Feel at Home", in order to draw the public'a attention to the millions of refugees world-wide who are forced to flee their homes.
We, Theatre Lakay, were contacted to do a cultural show/dance. We will be representing our country HAITI. There will also be many other countries. I would like to invite all of you to come and support our country.
I believe they will be starting around noon but THEATRE LAKAY will be performing from 3:00pm - 3:40pm. We will be doing 5 dances....."SALUTATION"..."CONGO"..."HAITIANO AFRICANDO"..."ISLAND FOLLIES"..."ALLO KOMANDEN". It's free show so please come and represent HAITI.
World Refugee Day
When: Saturday June 19
Time: Theatre Lakay will perform at 3:00pm

Thanks a lot for the info. When I read the ad on the concert page, I immediately contacted the Smithsonian to get more info on this upcoming event. I am very interested and on behalf of THEATRE LAKAY, we would love to participate. I will contact them and go from there. It will be a very interesting event and a great opportunity for THEATRE LAKAY.

Last night by a special invitation, EchodHaiti.com was invited to a meeting with the Smithsonian Institute Folklife Festival. This year's festival is in part about Haiti and her culture.
They are in the latest stages of planning and development and are reaching out to the Haitian Diaspora for some help.
I was surprised and happy to find that there are many Haitians involved in the planning; Olsen Jean-Julien (architect), Patrick Vilaire (artist), Patrick Delatour (architect), Marsha Michel (planning) and many others. They still need some funding and volunteers.
I was happy to tell them that EchodHaiti have a very inergetic and culturally involved following, and that I believe that we will help make this a celebration of our culture.
Please email Olsen at: jjolsen@si.edu or call him at: 202-275-2026
Please email me at: webmaster@echodhaiti.com for more information.
I believe in this project, and I think it will be a tremendous celebration of our culture and our bicentennial.
Haitian Flag day is May 18
The festival is June 23 to July 4.
DC Caribbean Carnival is June 26
T-Vice is July 10
It will be a great summer to just celebrate us, like many of us had planned.

"the real" Smooches
Last week I made a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. You may have been told that I was jealous or angry that is not the reason. I know the person very well and still do. From what I have heard HSA works very hard at their events and mission. I as part of the public thought you should be aware that not everyone that you are just cool with should receive credit for your hard work. I did not ask you to take anything down you chose to, because you agreed with me. I respect people who take time out of their personal agendas for the cause of the Haitian people.
This should be a learning lesson for you and your organization.
PS. When someone uses an alias it is because they wish to remain anonymous :)

I have always believed in the balance and the duality of things, be it physical or metaphysical. We live in a universe that is sustained by a numerosity of entities, and this understanding has lead to appreciate the different types of personalities and beings, passive or otherwise. Echodhaiti.com should not be different from any other agency. Positive and negative compliment each other, so I welcome the pair as a match. As Curious asked the question about Sweet Micky, I can not help bet use him as an example to articulate and solidify that point. Normally, Haitian society tends to be very reserved, so most people conform as such. Sweet Mickey's radicalism however, sets him apart from most, also is the key to success. Where I am getting at is, a healthy dose of the opposite of what we perceive as good is not necessarily bad. So we should welcome some level of radicalism to balance Echodhaiti. But when hatred and envy are stronger than adulation, when negative blossoms over positive, I think we have a problem. We have a flood of characters signing on Echo just to attack others. Underminig the hard work and hard earned money of Ginau, Jean Michel, and the Echodhaiti is unacceptable. Some of you are using their creation as an avenue to spew your filth. I am ashamed. I prayed heaven long time ago for serenity in order to deal with the things that I can not change, but my batteries are running low. So, I will observe from time to time and post as necessary. Is it any wonder why we find ourselves in the mess we are in! Good night.

I have been going to Micky's party for quite a while in DC. The last one, I was a bit surprised to see that the level of interest in Micky's party has extremely been down. I tried to convince 3 friends to go with me. They emphatically said "No". One of them even told me "enough of Micky". As you can see in Zanzibar, it was not packed. I phoned a few friends in NY and in Florida, I got the same reaction. One of them even told me that if I have not noticed that Micky can no longer plays alone. He has to have another band playing with him. In New York, last Friday Micky had to play with Kompa Kreyol at SOB and yet things were not that great for the promoter. What is going on with Micky? any answer?

No one really cares who the organizer is,what matters to the public is the artist.
People don't go to a party for Ceepco,JCV,Lacay,Zephyr,Jojo Locker or any other big promotor in N.Y or FL.People go because it's Miki,T.Vice,Tropic,Tabou,Kassav,Carimi,New Look,Djakout.If any one think they are big try to bring a band like Gran Pan Pan here.

Harold, We all have been enjoying the parties being organized by Ceepco. One thing: stop this non sense about the numbers. I do not think people care about them. Having a good time, is their motivation.
My first observation is that "Fille Charmante" should be forgiven for having the courage to apologize. This is a very rare commodity in our culture. For me, someone like "C'estMoi" has played the moralist role here by defending the integrity of the site and that of the haitians. If it was not for her, "Fille Charmante" would not probably come forward. She elevated the debate with grace.
My other one is that there are people like C'estMoi, Natacha, L'argentin, John Paul and a few others whose postings on the board invite people to read. Their postings are thoughtful and assertive. This reflects well on us haitians.

Fillecharmante,
I am glad that you finally came out of the dark. I will not go into detail with you either but one thing I will say is that YOU ATTACKED ME and YOU ATTACKED MY KIDS/MY DAUGHTER. So I had to come back harder on you. You just got what you deserve. Si'w te fe respe'w sa pa tap rive la. Till this day I have no caused you any harms. I've respected you on HC. You decided to have your fun and attack for no reason. Apran sa pou yon fwa. Le wa'l nan guerre se veye zo'w paske yo ka pati ak bo tet ou. If you could not take the heat se pou te ret nan wol ou. I don't know you so why involve my kids in your BS?
Don't come here and try to show echodhaiti that I have done something so bad to you. NOT TRUE AT ALL. As you can tell THEY ALL KNOW ME IN HERE. You should have copy and paste what you wrote about me and my kids. Then post my reply to you. YES, you are the biggest coward and iporkrit. Ou foure zo nan goj mwen mwen vomi'l ba ou. Take this experience as a lesson. Pa jenm ennwiye moun ki pa fe'w anyen. Paske wap jwen ak zo gren ou.
Here we are all professional and civilize people. This is not HC. So take your crap back to HC. We do not need people like you in here. Bo isit la nou pa manje anyen ki fret.
So long madame....

Come on Harold, do not play the stupid number's game with people. Many of us were there and easily realized how many of us came. Would you please stop it? We came to enjoy ourselves and that is it. Who care whether 250 people showed up or 650? and much more when there was not even close to the number that you gave. It makes you look bad.

fille charmante,
I was speechless before, but now I'm in awe. A Haitian apology is extremely rare, and I applaud you for your sincere one.
Many of us here are anonymous and don't want our business out there. We happen to know Smoochees through Echodhaiti and I for one care about this site. What Smoochees is or is not in her personal life or other site should remain there.
I applaud you and the webmaster for handling the situation. Hope to hear more (positives) from you.

Good morning to you all
I am the person who had been posting those thing about smoochess. Actually they are her word, all I did was cut and paste it here. I wanted you guys to see how evil, vulgar and nasty smooches is, but some how you guys are blind and fail to see my point. Anyway I just wrote a long post to smooches on HC (I will not get into details) I just want to say I apology to you guys and the webmaster of EchodHaiti. I don't know any of you the same way you guys don't know me. I am not a coward and will never be a coward, that is the reason I am writting this note to you all. Posting these betiz was inappropriate, the reason I did that was because smoochess said a lot of mean thing about my mom who past a couple of yrs ago. I thought it was a nasty thing to do and I wanted to get even. I see that she denied writting these post, if that what make her feel good then that is fine with me.
Thank you,
Fille Charmante

A peice of an interesting article:
Seventy wealthy Haitians and Haitian-Americans are launching the island nation's first investment bank, setting their sights on modest returns to give priority to projects that will benefit Haiti's poor masses.
PromoCapital hopes to spend up to $150 million in Haiti over the next two years, says Henri Deschamps, a prominent Port-au-Prince printing and media executive who will chair the bank.
"People are quite fed up with Haiti being in constant upheaval, as are we. You have to go and try to make it better," he says. "Globally, the place looks like it's a shambles, but in fact individual businesses are slugging it out and succeeding."
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world. It is chronically dependent on aid from the United States, World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, along with an estimated $800 million sent home annually by Haitian exiles working abroad.

Mezanmi avek piman cho sa- a "C'est Moi" lage la, gen anpil moun kounye a, kap refleshi avan pou yo di tiintin sou Board la. Sa mwen remake tou, gen yon ti gwoup moun, kipran board la pou yo.
Pafwa si yo pa dako avek yon moun, yo divize tet yo en plizie, pou yo ka ekri tintin. Sa bay move inpresyon ke gen ampil moun kap patisipe, poutan se yon sel ti gwoup. Jan de bagay sa yo, pa ede efo mesye Echodhaiti yo, li pa ede non plis, nou menm ki ap patisipe sou bod la.

For those who want translation, let me tell you that not even "Le Cardinal de Richelieu"(fondateur de l' Academie Francaise)could decipher through this pile of harzadous material. This is not psychotherapeutic, leave it alone. But I think he/she did it purposely.
Lol@ cyber restraining order-- Where do we obtain such a thing, Juss come?
"d'ecrire en francais pour debiter la crudite de vos oignons."
LMAO, every time I need a laugh, all I need to do is log on Echodhaiti.

Par quelle mouche cette personne s'est fait elle piquee en utiliseant ce forum pour attaquer quelqu'un d'autre? Si vous avez un probleme avec "Smooches", ayez le courage de l'affronter directement. N'essayez pas, en faisant usage d'un software traducteur, d'ecrire en francais pour debiter la crudite de vos oignons.
Vous devez savoir que tout "Web Site" est lu internationalement. Tout ce qui se dit sur ce forum, quelle que soit la langue utilisee, a directement un impact sur NOUS, Haitiens. Jamais, ne pensez que ce que vous dites ici sur ce forum, reste dans les communautes de Washington, DC, de Maryland et de Virginie.
Pour l'etroitesse et la petitesse de votre cerveau, sache que, c'est bien le contraire. Quelqu'un en Asie, en Afrique, en Oceanie, en Europe pourrait actuellement en train de cliquer et lire nos messages sur Echodhaiti. Montrons aux autres que nous sommes civilises, en depit de nos divergences de vues et de nos lacunes.
Je ne suis pas en train de defendre "Smooches". Ce que vous avez contre elle, si c'est personnel, ne me (nous) regarde pas. Mais en tant qu'Haitienne, je ne veux pas voir defiler sur ce forum des torchons sales. De plus, l'usage d'un Francais honteux qui viole toutes les regles syntaxiques. Je vous en prie, a l'avenir, pensez a nous autres, avant de vous lancer dans des entreprises qui n'auront aucun effet, sauf qu'a nous avilir.

HSA, obviously, now you can see that whoever used your name did not grow up or even did junior high school in haiti. Therefore it's up to you to check all your friends or people you know to find out who it was. Si-m pat fe de jou kay ponyon pitit, oh, mwen sezi pou france sa yo, mezanmi... My suggestion to you is: let it go, or you need to investigate some of your friends who were born or grew up here.

I agree with Alma this board is suppose to be about positivity. I don't know "the real Smooches" personally but I know she cares or else there would be no HSA. If this person were a real "man or woman" they would confront her personally and not blast her on echodhaiti. And including her name shows NO CLASS and if you were trying to show some by writing your posting in french it didn't work !!

Frenchy--If you don't want to be a member of HSA, move on. Who cares about what 's been said on Haitianconnection? I am pretty sure that whoever is writing this nonsense on the board knows Smoochees, or is a friend of hers. Speaking of morals, you don't have any morals yourself, otherwise you would have contacted smoochees directly instead of posting your crap on echodhaiti. Gin yon proveb kreyol ki di " zegwi gin trou nan deyel, epi lap cheche twou nan deye lot". What a shame!

Vous des types devez enlever le les yeux bandés et voir des smooches (moise de farah) pour qui elle est. Ne prenez pas ce mot individuel pour lui, vous pouvez aller à la page haïtienne des farah de raccordement et de visite. Vous pourrez voir que tout qu'elle a eu a écrit sur le forum. Peut-être alors vous des types verrez quel type de personne vous avez représenter nos personnes. Comment peut quelqu'un comme celui représenter hors de la culture haïtienne, quand elle n'a aucun respect pour elle-même et son haïtien de camarade. Vous verrez comment elle se dégrade à un groupe d'étrangers. Si Farah est le type de personne que vous les types veulent représenter H.S.A alors je me sens vraiment désolé pour le Haïti, les gens comme elle sont le type qui réduisent le Haïti.

It seems to me that someone has some personal issues with the name "smoochees", which is landmark. As of today I decided to offcially drop "smoochees" as my screen name. Anything else posted on this board under that screen name will not be from me.
For my friends and those who cares....STAY TUNED!!!

Smoochees, you know I don't have any doubt, because I know how far you can go. The reason why I asked what's up is because whoever that used your name must have a problem with the website's owner. I had a chance to see part of that message before it was all edited. This creature is very nasty and I hope no one on this board will ever try to write profanity again if they practice self-respect or have any respect for the other board members.

I think I know who you are. Someone at Micky mentioned the same thing to me when I was showing them the print out of the web page. For your information, this person that you are referring to is not part of HSA. And I do agree with you....someone who does not represent should not be driving around with the HAITIAN FLAG. I was able to have the picture remove from our web page. Please check it out again and let me know what you think this time. Hope we are both referring to the same person. Thanks again!
Now, will you be there this friday night and show your support?

Greetings All,
First, I wanted to let you know that some individual is using my screen name to somehow attack me. I have no idea who he/she is. As you all already know I've been on this board for years now and never been into any confrontation what-so-ever with anyone. I am all about positive thing and I will keep doing what I am doing. No one can ever put me down or even destroy me. So whoever you are, keep doing what you are doing. Ou pap jenm jwen bout mwen. Smoochees will remain smoochees where ever she goes. Can no one or YOU replace her. Instead of hating, CONGRATULATE.

Finally two people won the tickets to Micky. We are doing another one this friday and the price this time will be a DVD. Remember we are trying to raise money for the Carnival. So please come out and support us. Also check out our webpage on echo. Thanks to Ginau.....you did a great job. Ou voye HSA monte net. Se konya panik pran'm.....lol.

Good afternoon on this sunday to everyone at echo d'haiti. Beautiful and good people, let's keep it cool on the board. We don't have to use profanity to express ourselves on this helpful and beautiful board. We need to stop it. In fact, believe it or not we have foreigners, meaning other ethnic group, who respect and admire us, who check out this board all the time. Therefore, let's do what we can to keep it at a civilized level.
What happen, did someone attack smoochees or what? She has never been involved in any commotion on this board before, so what's up smooch, because I did not see the erased or edited message. You were having a good time last night and now suddenly things got out of proportion, so what's up?
I don't know about you all, PR and I were having a great time. Also, as usual Sweetmickey put on a great show besides his little profanity that he always has to add, I guess, as a bonus. But, over all, I enjoyed myself and I can't complain. HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY TO YOU ALL ON THE BOARD.

C'est moi,... What if I told you that I was born speaking French and English? And, that I had to learn to speak kreyol the way that many of you learned French. The criticism wasn't about the language, but rather an observation and comment on the overly wordyness of Haitians speaking French.
L.P.H.,
I didn't talk about the lack of vocabulary of anyone, but the unnecessary use of vocabulary when it came to French. You can even find it in some of the poems on this site. Many Haitians, not all, tend to confuse poetic words with poetry. I choose to speak kreyol in company of Haitian peers, because of the arrogance of many, not all, "French" speaking Haitians.

Le p'tit bo neg, I understand where you are coming from, it's just that you cannot expect everyone to have a deep source of vocabulary when they write or speak. Also I understand one can say a few words that would translate a whole paragraph, but not too many of us out there have that depth of a vocabulary. In fact, as you may know, it's improper to speak to people sometimes we don't even know using big words, where they don't understand anything you say. I hope you don't think that I take this personal or I'm attacking you, I just would like for you to be concern or careful about other people's level of intellect. In other words, what do you do with people who don't even know how to read or write, because they don't have any words to waste.

Please read again my post, and pay special attention to "wasted words."
Something that could be said in two sentences in English, or Kreyol, instead takes two paragraphs in French; in other words, WASTED WORDS.

Cependant, si nous nous rappelons tres bien comment Antoine Rossini Jn-Baptiste avait raison lorsqu'il chantait "pale france vin-n tounin metie, yo confon-n faculte ak universite etc". C'etait pour nous demontrer que nous avions a l'epoque,en haiti, des hommes instruits sans education. Le "grand Maurice Sixto", aussi, nous a montre comment le personnage Alexandrine a bien plaide sa cause face a Zabelbok sans avoir besoin de s'exprimer en francais, dans la piece "ZABELBOK BERACHATTE". C'est pour cela que notre pays, aujourd'hui, est anglouti avec tous ces problemes de classes et de langages. La verite c'est que, a la fin de la journee, ils sont tous des bloffeurs. Maintenant, la plupart d'entre nous, les haitiens de la diaspora qui ont vecu plus de dix a quinze ans ici , qui se sont fait reeduquer et metamorphoser, ont ou auront tant de difficultes pour entreprendre des interactions ou pour vivre au sein de ces bloffeurs sans identite, qui ne connaissent meme pas ce qu'ils sont.

Pierre Richard My Friend,
Please, do not feel obligated to produce any reply to the disgruntled "le p'ti bo nèg", nor to any other people whose only social agenda is the negativism. Be mindful that certain people's criticism is a reflexion of their own ignorance. We have this problem in our communities: whomever writes or speaks French is being ridiculed. Big mistake!
The knowledge of french is -- for this regard, any other languages -- an ouverture to the cultural world. Having the privilege to speak a language, in whatever capacity form or shape, is already in itself a sign of immmeasurable progress.
Pierre Richard, or anyone else, do not let yourself be intimidated. Continue to write either in Creole, English or French whenever you feel it necessary to do so. If whomever can't speak or write French, this is not your problem. It is rather the responsibilty of our failed educational policy; not to mention our past and present leaders.

Il ne faut pas oublier que Maradona, en depit de sa reputation mondiale, n'a su jamais cultiver un comportement social respectable. En d'autres termes, cette accusation qu'il serait implique dans la drogue pourrait etre bien une verite. De meme, elle ne pourrait etre qu'une rumeur. Que saurions nous de la verite?. Chaque organe mediatique a sa propre version de verite. Dites moi: quelle version de verite qui se dit veritablement vraie? Personne ne le sait mon cher ami.

"Penis explodes during sex
Doctors in Romania are treating a 28-year-old whose penis exploded while he was making love to his girlfriend.
Ilarie Coroiu was taken to hospital in the Transylvanian town of Cluj after his girlfriend, Magdalena, 18, "felt something strange" and noticed that the bed was covered in blood.
Dr Angela Domocos, head of the accident and emergency department at Cluj General Hospital, said: "It is very rare for this to happen. We call it an exploded penis because it happens when the blood cavities in the penis burst.
"I don't know what this couple were playing at, but there must have been tremendous pressure inside the penis to make this happen."
Mr Coroiu is now recovering after an operation to stop the bleeding."
Echo, I don't what to make of this! But, OUCH!

Maradona: évolution acceptable, mais reste sous assistance respiratoire
AFP | 20.04.04 | 19h13
L'ex-footballeur argentin Diego Maradona connaît "une évolution acceptable" de son état de santé, mais reste sous assistance respiratoire, selon le bulletin médical diffusé mardi par la clinique suisso-argentine où il est hospitalisé depuis dimanche soir.L'état général de Maradona est "stabilisé", précise le communiqué. Mais les médecins continuent à réserver leur diagnostic.Son entourage avait laissé espérer au cours des dernières heures que l'ancien joueur pourrait être déconnecté du respirateur mécanique qui le maintenait en vie depuis dimanche, au vu de l'amélioration de son état de santé.Maradona est traité pour des troubles cardiaques et pour une pneumonie "aspirative" (une infection pulmonaire provoquée par l'aspiration de vomi dans les voies respiratoires) qui font toujours craindre pour sa vie.Le communiqué précise que les problèmes sanguins de l'ex-idole se sont stabilisés, avec un recours "en quantités décroissantes de drogues psychotropiques".

I read a few weeks ago that some hospitals did not even have cotton balls to properly provide care for the patients and lacking most everything. I don't want to prematurely condemn anyone, that's why I posed the question. In any events, if you feel that Aristide deserves credits in that sector, we should let history be judge.
On different note, a few weeks ago HBO aired a special on Real Sports with Bryant Gumble. There is a gentleman name Bobby Duval who has an athletic program for disadvantaged kids. Bobby's love for soccer and commitment pushed him to start this program a few years ago. Well, his program has evolved beyond just soccer, he provides food, education, and much more. He travels to other countries in order to raise funds to keep this thing going. Bobby and these kids count on local businesses, and good will individuals such as you. I was please to watch Haiti played against the US a few weeks ago, I learned that 3 players on the national Haitian league came from his association and that many are being seeked out by US teams. Ladies and gentlemen, what I am trying to say is, let's try to make a difference when and where it really matters. Men like Bobby Duval should go unrecognized, and these kids deserve our help, otherwise, kids like these 3 players could have alternate futures. You can search Bobby Duval on yahoo.com.
Smooch, no problem. I heard that I won 2 tickets to the sweet micky, did I hear correctly?

"« Collaborer avec Haïti devient pour nous un devoir », a déclaré en février dernier le ministre cubain des relations extérieures Felipe Pérez Roque
Avec la coopération cubaine, Haïti compte sur son territoire un total de 525 coopérants cubains dont 322 médecins qui soignent plus de 8 millions d’Haïtiens, a poursuivi M. Roque. Selon des statistiques disponibles dans le secteur de la santé, Haïti compte 2000 médecins dont presque 90% exercent dans la capitale. Au cours des 5 dernières années, les médecins cubains ont réalisé environ 5 millions de consultations dans le pays, 59000 interventions chirurgicales et 45000 accouchements. On estime en général que les médecins cubains ont sauvé presque 86 mille vies en Haïti."
Above is an extract from an article by HPN dated 4/14/2004. As stated by Mr Roque,Cuba finds it a duty to help Haiti . Among the 525 Cubains in Haiti,over 320 are medical doctors providing care for Haitians. My question is, where is the AMHE(Association des Medecins Haitiens a l'etranger)? This organization has several offices accross the US, including Maryland. Has this organization come forth with a lending hand?

People don't get me wrong,I'm not being evasive ,I never was,as a matter of fact I enjoy this kind of interaction BUT only when it's being done in a civilize manner like the ? of grin prominnin. If this is the only avenue for me to enlight some of you about rumors and perceptions about JCV, I will be glad to do it.You all can tell that I've been responding to those of you who do not sound stupid,and may want to inform the community.
However show business is my business and like any other entertainer I simply don't like the paparozzis who are hiding in the bush just to talk non sense trash without any substance.They want to turn echo into the community Tabloid.Yet again from a show biz stand point this kind or any kind of coverage is good for me and for the band. BELEIVE IT OR NOT
These days many superstars will do any shoking thing (ex:super bowl 2004) to get some kind of press good or bad.
Call me diolè if you want,but tell me any one in show biz here that is half as popular as Agimal. JUST TELL ME.
Sé sou mango mi yo voyé roch.Point bar.
Now the answer to the question is: Osner Chery was the first camera man of the show he was not a director,not a producer or a presenter of the program,not every one working at the hospital is a doctor.Nènè is still today a very good friend of mine.He is a behind the scene man, a real shy person if you don't know the man others can tell you that he is not the kind of person that would ever go on camera.Bégué ou pa.
The truth to the story is that in 1988 Jean Claudel Fleurival,myself and Yvon Fleurival we started a T.V program called TELE METRO with Osner's VHS camera right in Osner Chery's living room.Tele Metro was dead only after a few shows,but Agi was not.I told every one that I will take this to another level.AND I DID.
In 1989 I met Greg Hamilton,a Takoma Park politician,who helped me with the T.V production classes.In 1990 with his help the city council of the city of Pakoma Park approved my proposal of having a non English T.V show in their station.With the help of some friends like Nènè Chery now on the T.V station's big cameras Haiti A Suivre was born on December 2nd 1990.
Two U.M students Jean Michel Mathurin and Gary Louis Charles also helped me with the first productions.In December 1992 the Takoma Park Station named me Assistant Program Director and the show was assigned a regular station crew.
In 1995 my sister Solanges give me a gift of thirty thousand dollars ($30.000) to help me purchase my own toys.Thus started the JCV Production studio,without my own studio and a registered business I would not be an independent producer in the state of Maryland. I have my own cameras my own editing suite-Caracter Genrator,monitors etc... I don't use the stations studios anymore.By being an independent producer I have the right to have my own sponsors,and that's the beauty of it.
Today nine years later these equipments are out dated,but the show is still on.
I would like to get some D.V cameras and a D.V editor how can YOU help.

I have been reading what is being written. I do not have any idea who many of you are. But one thing I notice is the fact I am curious to find out about people in this community. I firmly realize through this medium that there are a lot of who are good and that there are amny of as well who cannot be trusted. When those things are exposed, it is good for many of us who have no idea with whom we are dealing with. I will ask and encourage everyone and anyone who has information and who knows some of those characters in our community better than others to share those information with the rest of us. Please do so. It is very helpful.

JCV,
Do not answer these guys anymore, they are getting you into a low level conversation. This is not productive. If someone wants to constructively criticize someone else, it is fine, but stop trying to bring a brother down. The man is trying to do something positive. He might have his own problems, but is this really how we want to react to the community's effort? This is not the first time that people try to bring people down using this forum. It has been tried with Zephir, JCV, PR and others. If someone can do better, may he/she come out and produce. It is very easy to talk and write in the confort of one's office, but it is very hard to invest time and money without any guarantee of success. What some of us are doing is the very reason why we are so behind as a people. Leave the man alone.

Wè papa, once again wap palé saw pa kon nen.Baltazar was b-4 my time I never did any show production with him,however I used to sing in his bands LES PACHAS and G.P Express.J.C Verdieu and Mario Germain are business partners of mine,we did SOME shows together especially the WACAHAPA parties.Tabou never produce any show here,however they did gave me some sweet deals because well SINCE YOU KNOW SO MUCH YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW WHY.YES MY FRIEND.
The answer to your question is No - I did not bring the Walkers here to Maryland, but they did step up to save TRANKILL when the deal went wrong with the other parties involve.Yes I did spent some money but WE (MARYLAND) lost the musicians to some other group in Florida.I don't think I need to go into to much details,or volunteer any more information.SIW SE GRAN MOUN WA KONPRAN'N.
Now if you want to question my honesty,you are questionning the wrong man I spell Mafia with capital M.
I'm not an honest man because I spent two years in this country without legal documents,so did many of us immigrants,may be you or your parents did too. It's no secret to you or to any one else in this town that many of us here are having or had extra marital affairs.Hey body once again I'm not the only one,may be you did too,so did Bill Clinton and Prince Charles.I'm not justifying it,and I'm not so proud of it,because when I look at my self in the mirror I don't see an honest man,and when I look around I still don't see one neither.Who can you really trust today fool: priests,judges,police officers,presidents,Bush,Rice,Powell,Aristide,Ben Laden no you trust me "Agi-mal" .
You don't need to trust me,just enjoy the services that I provide.If you see me turn water into wine don't ask how I do it just drink it and enjoy.I serve you so well that now you think I should be your GOD,that I should be Perfect.Wake up body I said I'm a man I never said that I was GOD.
ARE YOU A HONEST MAN - OR ARE YOU JUST GOING CRAZY-
Enough say to a man with no face.You know me,I don't know you.As far as I'm concern you are hiding in the echodhaiti.com's back yard throwing rocks at me.Yo rélé sa voyé roch caché main.
I'm almost sure that sakapfet,arthur,and gilbert is the same person-AN HYPOKRITT FRIEND OF MINE.
I'm almost certain that I did gave you a free ticket to the show,you shooke my hand and/or maybe YOU gave me a hug.
I can't beleive that you have the nerve to say that you 'll be at the next show."Yes you'll be" with my courtesy ticket to you.After the show you'll get right back on echodhaiti to talk trash.

One thing that I would like to make it clear to Ajimal is the fact there is nothing wrong with doing things in the community. The problem is when you are not being honest about the way things are being done. How many times people in this community are actually using their money to bring bands here and then Ajimal told them that he is going to promote it for them and suddenly you see and you hear that Ajimal is doing it. When it come to Tabou, it is clear that either Tabou themselves did their party or someonelse foot the bill beginning with Balthazar or Verdieu (and his associates) to name those two only. Not too long ago, I don't know if the regulars from Echo noticed that Ajimal wrote that "He is forming a new band and that he is spending lot of money bringing the band members from Haiti, and that he would like to see us supporting it". Fine we are more than happy to suuport, but tell me who has he brought from Haiti? the Walkers?, the guitare player who has come to live with his wife? be honest man?

Smooches like I said the two bands have already met,and we are friends.
The ball is now on their corner,because I'm ready to merge to have a competitive band to represent Maryland any where in the world.I'm ready to be on the back burner for the benefit of the group and the community.
There is one thing however that I would like for people to notice.The reason I created MONACO SOCCER CLUB in 1983 is because we did not have a soccer team.The reason I created WASHINGTON EXPRESS in 1985 is because we didn't have a band. the reason I created HAITI A SUIVRE T.V show in 1990 is beacause we did not have a T.V show.Now the reason I create TRANKILL in 2004 is because for the past five (5) years this community has been without a live local band.
This show last Saturday was the first Easter dance in the community in the since April 11 1992.
Now the answer to the question should be that AGIMAL A HORREUR DU VIDE ET DU SILENCE.I will fill a whole no matter what it takes,time,money,enemy,etc...I will continue to move forward and I will not look back.A leader is the one who can get up after he fell and say like Boirrons Tonerre EN AVANT-EN AVANT.

Lol@ the No CARB regime. I bet the late Dr. Atking would blush with flattery for the fact his low diet philosophy even applies to fate of this current Administration.
It seems that President Bush would have to get ALL the Iraqis, all Alqeda operatives to join hands signing Old Negroe Spirituals in order to get re-elected, and that is very unlikely.
Smooch, I am just now recovering (from the dance that is)

At the same time I would like to invite the group to come party with us Friday night at the SAHARA OASIS. It will be fun to meet other haitian in our community. We are all a group of professionals and doing some great things for this community. I had no idea there was a group in columbia till now. You must come out and let people hear from you guys. So what do you say? Will you be there? We are down there every friday night doing our thing. We are also raising money for the Carnival. A minimum donation of $5 or more will be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to meet the group.
PR....thanks for the dance at TRANKIL. I enjoyed every minute of it. Ou pa jenm dezapwente'm (laugh). Anyway, why don't you stop by Friday and see what we're doing. It's been awhile since you've been down there. Come Friday....I'll have a surprise for you (wink)

As you all could see in the previous post, the singer being 18 years of age could not make it into the club on the two Performances TRANKILL had this past weekend. HE WAS PRETTY UPSET! He just went home and did his " WOUSSA" therapy.LOL. I guess that really works!!
Anyways, he hopes to make it at the other performances.lol.
thank you!

We would like to congratulate the TRANKILL crew on their first performance this weekend. The guys gave a nice show and performed well for a first come out. We wish them to keep it up and go towards improvement. Congrats again to YOU GUYS! Keep it up!!!
Concerning Rafrechi, the group consist on five members:a bass player (Johnny ), a guitar player ( Frantzy), a lead singer (Junior 18), a background singer (Gracia) and a keyboard player ( Cedryc 22).
Four of the members do the chorus except the guitar player.
We are actually very eager to present oursevles to the haitian community in Maryland and DC. We hope to see most of the Haitian Community at our first performance which will be at the beginning of July. We promise not to deceive the public and hope that the public will be perceptive and supportive. We plan to give a good show and the best of us.

Agi my brother, I hope you don't let anybody brings your dream to an end. For those who don't know, Agi has been in the business for so long, I don't think any critic of any sort can deviate his ideas or lead him to a detour. The man is taking his chances in what he believes, instead of criticizing him, why don't you guys try to help. I've been in this community for so long, my observation is that everytime one tries to open or start something in this empty community, it's hard to find support. This is so discouraging for artists or anyone else who would like to do something positive in this unbelievable haitian community in washington. Therefore, Agi I'm with you. In fact, if you remember "ZEPON", where were the critics at that time. "STOP THE CRITICISM, SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY, L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE."

Francine, do not try to getoff on Gilbert. He was making a point and everyone has right to their opinion. By the way there are a lot of people in the community who look like they have good intentions for the community, but on the contrary they are in it for their own advantage. I am not going to name names but since I have moved and lived in this area. I have heard a lot of stories. So be careful of your statements. You may see people but in fact you do not have any idea of what they are doing.

We will be passing out flyers and selling waffle tickets. We are giving out 3 prizes and two of them are tickets to Micky's bal. We have lots more coming up. I will keep you update. One of the best fund raising that we will be doing is a CAR WASH. So mesye ki pa gin ti boubout yo nap tan ou. Pote machine ou vini nap ba'w yon lavaj fet e founi. San mank...lol. More info on the CAR WASH to come.
Please let's make a difference this year. H.S.A is very devoted and commited on this big event. Pa dekouraje nou and help us out. Without you guys nou pap enyen.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask me anything. I will be delighted to answer them.
Thank you all in advance.

Gilbert Cantave shame on you
You now want to change your tune because you see that the people don't fall on your trap you were the first one to attack the man,you were the one who talk about the frigidaire.Look like you have something personal against the man,may be your wife likes him or something.
If you want to be a man just come clean, apologize,and recognize that Agimal only have good intention for this community.
Tell me your self of someone you know that you have suggested to Agimal for the band,and Agimal had refuse the person in the band .Just tell me,and your word then will have some substance.You only are saying that you don't want Agimal,but that's your opinion.My father did not like Coupe Cloue,so he just don't go to Coupe Cloue,but you,you want others to agree with you and your opinion. F.you man
We spent my money any way we want to.We support who the hell we whish to with our money,you don't own any one here but your self,tell me who died and make you chief.Papa Doc.
Come out with your own band,no one is stopping you,then why do you want to stop the man for doing his thing.
Shame on you.Like the others get out of here, or sit your butt home and keep an eye on your wife.

I would like to thank each and every one of you who attended the parties this past weekend.
To all the fans and friends and to the media in the community that took the time to show their support,I say once again thank you on behalf of the whole band.
I will not waste my energy to respond to any one that I can't identify,I feel this forum is for the public.However if somebody whish to give some constructive feed backs to me or to TRANKILL,please feel free to e-mail me,and I will respond.
Pierre Richard,I even went to see the guys of Rafrechi at Jhon B's house.Let me tell you that this will be a dream come true for me if we can merge.
I do not whish to be the only singer of TRANKILL,I did post earlier in the year on this board that I'm looking for singers.
Sortie jazz la té fè parti dé projè a court terme yo,kou nouyé ya nap ataké projè a moiyen term yo,épi lot projè yo sé a long term kéyo yé.I Thank you PRT so very much for your support.
Now this is the news:
NAPOLI was so happy that they give me four dates for the month of May,however I will use only three of them.
TRANKILL will be at NAPOLI ITALIAN RESTAURANT
8241 Georgia Ave Silver Spring Maryland
Saturday May 8 at 10pm for a Mother's Day weekend party
Saturday May 29 at 10pm & Sunday May 30 at 9pm for the memorial weekend
$15.00 in adv for the Saturdays & $10.00 at the door for the Sunday show.
From this party Saturday we now have three new engagments a communion in frederick, a wedding in Virginia and a company anniversary at a hotel in Washington D.C.
We will also have a TRANKILL barbeque party for all the friends and fans to celebrate Miki's new ranch in Damascus which will be the band's new headquarter.Miki is our young keyboard player,he is only 23 years old and single he says bring all the girls-this will be fun.
I LOVE YOU ALL.

JC, you've converted your thoughts into action quite nicely! I was fortunate to have witnessed Trankill's very first public appearance. Unsurprisingly, the community shined by its absence. I enjoyed myself, and so did many folks. If Trankill is a past time or a self-realization project, than you can rely on time to polish your showmanship. Otherwise, as you mentioned, there is another group out of Columbia that's due to make it's debut sometime this summer. If I were you, I would try to work with them to possibly bring these organizations to one entity for the benefit of both organizations. I have had the chance to hear them during practice, it would be in both organizations best interest to merge to have a better chance at success. Washington is a rough place for any venture to succeed, any competion would put both out of commission. Put egos behind, and work together,if possible!
Thanks, for your vision!

Paul Jhom ou bien palé,mais écho n'a fait qu'annocer un nouveau jazz dans la communauté.Je pense qu'ils ont fait leur devoir en aidant à la promotion du groupe Trankill qui est un groupe du quartier.
A mon avis l'orchestre a bien joué Samedi soir, pour un début je pense que c'était bien.Faut pas comparer un groupe à sa premiere prestation aux autres groupes qui viennent ici à Washington,mes chers amis.Il faut bien comprendre que les groupes comme ZIN,MIKI, T.VICE, TABOU etc se sont des orchestres qui évoluent depuis plus de 10 ans,ils ont des dizaines de hits et des albums,le jeux d'ensemble et l'experience par dessus tout.Alors vous tous faites des erreurs à critiquer si dur nos artistes locales qui ont pris leurs temps et leurs argent pour NOUS donner un jazz.
Naturelement nous avons tous vu certaines fautes surtout au niveau de la sonorisation et la longeur des chansons mais il faut être un peut tolerant.Moi je me suis dit s'ils ont pu réaliser ceci,s'ils ont pu jouer aussi bien à leur première sortie,je crois que dans six mois ils seront déja competitifs.
Cependant, comme l'a dit une autre personne je vois vraiment de la jaloisie dans vos écris messiers,car vous n'avez pas donner à Ajimal aucune idée qui pourrait aider son groupe à l'avenir.Vous avez choisi la voie la plus facile,celle de créer un buzz négatif sur écho pour détruire un produit locale dès son apparition sur le marché.
It seems like some of you had your mind made up way before the show to come on echodhaiti to kill the baby soon after its birth.
This remind me of another baby born 2004 years ago.
Does the name Jesus rings the bell.
Some of you remind me also of the Romans who nail jesus on the cross.Come on people like the lady said please get out of this community.Don't nail our Agimal,he doen't deserve you.
Echodhaiti please do continue to support what is our local products,don't be influence by anyone's negative attitude.
I also think it's all good if echo give Agimal some exposure,because at the end of Agimal's T.V show I always see every time the web address of ECHODHAITI.COM,beleive me that's how I've found out about echodhaiti.com. So who are you guys,what kind of contributions do you bring to this community.
Agimal pa okipé yo.
I was at Napoli and at the end of the show I saw so many people congratulating you that I feel good for you and for the new band.Don't be affraid of them and of the challenges ahead,just remember Bob Marley's song {rat race}.

Mezanmi, sèl bagay mwen ka di konsènan nouvèl Jaz ki rele Trankill la sè ke, pou yon debi, yo pa mal. Men se poko sa ditou. Nou sipoze Bayo pou le moman benefis dout. Yopa bati yo chato nan de jou. Ekri mizik, konpoze mizik pa fasil. Ka, "qui veut ne peut être poète, écrivain ou artiste" Fòk nou pa blye gèfo mesye yo te fè pou yo te ofri piblik la ti moman amizman sa a. E, mwen espere ke nan fiti yap pi anfòm.
Mwem dakò avèk Arthur e Apanou. Fòk nou genyen yo sètin espri kritik. Sepa tout bagay ke nou sipoze vale. Obsèvasyon pa mwen sè ke: Echodhaiti pajanm fè yo depasman. Tout sa li ekri, konplètman pozitif. Alòske, pagen anyen ki tou a fè pozitif. Menm le Eccohdhaiti ap esaye fe promosyon pou kilti, li gen devwa tou, pou li kritike sak ki medyòk, pou li di kisa ki bezwen ankourajman, e kisa ki bezwen konpliman. Si Echodhaiti paka fè sa, se sinpleman ekri bagay san li pa fè yon obsèvasyon kritik ki pou pòte koreksyon, se voye monte pou ninpòt gwoup ou individi, eh byen, lap pase sou zye moun kòm yo ògan moun pa, kap defan interè gwoup ou zanmi, san kredibilite. Kidonk, mwen pa kwè ke se imaj sa Echo vle bay. Fòk nou pi serye nan fason nou trete sijè yo.
