So its that time of the year again, it’s the ANNUAL HAITIAN FLAG DAY FESTIVAL. Many will be making the trip down south to see the many bands that they have been paying bucks/bal to see. This time I guess it’s a lot better, they pay 30 bucks and see them all perform in one spot. So groovy and innovative!!!! While I enjoy Tvice, Carimi, Krezi, I could care less about the other bands that will be in attendance. My team and I have been communicating with the organizers for the past 6 months and while they’re happy with the work that we’re doing, they still will not let one of our groups hit the stage, Which is cool with us because that’s the way they choose to do THEIR show. My only problem with this whole thing is that it’s supposed to represent Haitian culture and Haitian pride yet they choose to ignore Hip Hop and Reggae.
For Haiti’s independence day festival, they brought a reggae artist to the show, but only one problem, he wasn’t Haitian. Who else in America cares about Haitian Flag day other than Haitians? Do you think America will be inviting Clef to perform at their July 4th Parade? I highly doubt it.
I could sit here and bash these boys but at the end of the day it still won’t solve my main issue with them. As recent as last Friday I was speaking to these dudes, “yo mesye, I like what y’all doing. Y’all giving this movement life here in the states” but soon as we ask for a spot, homeboi is giving us the run around. To make matters worst, he gave us some tickets as if we asked him for this shit. Negro please, we’re going to sell all 10 and buy us a few bottles of babancourt for the real Haitian party…and to all of y’all coming down, you read right. The real party is Saturday night…Friday we’re in Orlando at 2pm and Friday we’ll be in Lil Haiti with Clef, Haitian Fresh, Mecca, and many of our Creole Hip Hop artists. And Saturday night, we got the official party…and it won’t be in a club. Si w pa gen tanga, al achete youn, paske I can’t stand when y’all come to a pool party and y’all just stand on the side without getting wet. And I do mean, getting WET…Invites only please, so if you’re from NY, CT, Boston, DC, VA, ATL, Rhode Island, PA…You are invited to the special location. Just hit your boi up on this blog, and you’ll be on the list. All the other states, peut etre next year, Na invite w. Sak pa konta, File a danm LAWSUIT…GYET Marenn nou!
