Ezili Bwa Kayiman
Ezili Dantò performs Bwa Kayiman, the Vodun gathering on Aug. 14, 1791 that started the successful Haitian revolution, abolished slavery, colonialism and created the nation of Haiti. Written by Ezili Dantò and performed here with Troupe Makandal and master Haitian drummer, Frisner Augustin. (See, Bio of Ezili Danto, 1791 ; Divine Mother: Ezili, Aset, Isis ; Black Woman: Mother of All the Races and Haiti Epistomology. )
Haiti: Vodun Jazzoetry-Ezili Dantò's Red, Black & Moonlight (Video Reel)
Documenting the often tragic journey of Haitians in the US and abroad for human justice, the monologues cover Vodun cosmology, Haitian history, culture and US humanitarian imperialism in Haiti. It's a musical memoir full of coming of age stories of a woman raised African-American-Haitian in the US, who returns to her parents' homeland and cannot undo the U-turn. The work testifies to the tragic plight of the Black nation of Haitians surviving within a hostile American Mediterranean.

And can Haitians break out of it? Ezili Dantò, Stanley Lucas and Nicolas Rossier share their first-hand experience on CrossTalk. Broadcast date: January 12, 2011.
"0.5 % in Haiti - Haiti's Oligarchy - own 98% of Haiti's wealth through monopolies orchestrated and supported by Western policymakers and corporations." - Ezili Dantò of HLLN
Since the 2004 Bush regime change in Haiti, US large footprint in "poor?" Haiti keeps increasing. US Embassy in Haiti is the fifth largest US Embassy compound in the world, after Iraq, Afghanistan, China
and Germany.

Loved all this and your poetry too. You are what happens when passion, determination and a conscience inhabit the same body.
My wife (she's Trinidadian) said the drummer in the Bwa Kayiman video was excellent.
You mentioned (defending) President Aristide in your interview. Watching the video of his return to Haiti, I was very much taken with the poise, openness and forceful purpose of the first lady, Mrs. Aristide.

Dlo!

Nice to hear from you. The master drummer on the Bwa Kayiman video is Frisner Augustin from La Troupe Makandal. He is the very best master Haitian drummer there is. A living legend really and I am most lucky to have worked with him in that piece. Master Drummer Frisner Augustin is an NEA Heritage Fellow.
Glad you enjoyed the poetry and Zili Dlo project pictures. Be well, Ezili Dantò
