Dekole (Unstuck) J.Perry with Shabba and Izolan

You can hardly go anywhere without hearing kids singing this song.  J.Perry is an icon here in Haiti and actually quite famous in the U.S. as well.  His lyrics are clean and his message is good.  He sings about getting Haiti dekole (unstuck).  The music video is a typical music video.

Carnival

Although Mardi Gras isn't for another week, Haitians have been preparing to enter the time of Carnival.  In fact, they have been preparing for lent every Sunday for the last month.  This is the Rara band that marched past our compound yesterday.

Happy Lenten Season!
