Strong Messages for Youth

During his first address, entitled “Youth is Capable,” Dr. Julio Volcy urged young people to believe in their potential and reject all forms of fatalism. He particularly emphasized the importance of changing their mindset: “We cannot solve a problem with the mindset that created it.”
He encouraged young people to adopt a new way of thinking, based on discipline, excellence, and responsibility. The Reverend also reminded them that Haitian youth represent nearly 70% of the country’s population, and that a structured engagement of just 4% of them could significantly alter the national trajectory.

His second address, “Youth and Responsibility,” highlighted the inseparable link between potential and responsibility. Dr. Volcy invited young people to become agents of change in their communities, to invest in their education, and to develop ethical leadership. Valérie Nadia Victor, Secretary General of the MPARE political party, encouraged young people to actively participate in public life and in the country’s development initiatives, emphasizing the importance of a conscious and engaged youth. Nerlande Coicou, for her part, urged participants to pray and place God at the center of their lives, reminding them that lasting transformation begins with a strong spiritual relationship. The musical entertainment was provided by the young DJ Happy, who helped maintain the atmosphere throughout the conference.
According to Olwith Bazelais, one of the organizers of the event, this initiative aimed to remind Haitian youth that they possess the resources necessary to transform their future and that of the country.

Haïti / Ganthier: I Let You In, an Ode to Modern Relationships by Igens VIL

The Meaning of the Essence of Love The commune of President Boniface Alexandre and Martial CELESTIN produces a talented artist. Yes, Ganthier stands out as one of its best representatives on the international scene. "I Let You In" is a title that lays bare the complexity of heterogeneous relationships around the world. This opus, both provocative and touching, awakens the mind, body and soul. I am deeply moved by the way in which the artist Igens VIL, a true emblematic figure of Ganthier, evokes intense emotions and provokes reflection on the issues of contemporary romantic relationships. Each verse of this composition, co-written with Dayvin Kaponda, contains profound messages about tolerance towards others, our aspirations and ambitions, the true foundations of authentic love. It is the very essence of life. Despite the tumults of daily life and the inevitable misunderstandings in human relationships, he reminds us that “in my life, there is always a me; I have tried everything. Even if it means taking a step back, I am ready to do it. And if it means, I will get down on my knees”. The singer, who spent a large part of his adolescence in Galette-Chambon, the first communal section of the commune of Ganthier, is now active in the French music industry. He eloquently and skillfully addresses the complex triangle of sentimental relationships: sacrifice, tolerance and communication. This remarkable work deserves to be heard everywhere; it inspires faith, reflection and action. Gensbe, known as Igens VIL, deserves awards for this song. Guitarist, singer, composer and academic in France, he embodies a rare mix of talents for a young Haitian engaged in these demanding fields that require time, sacrifice and a lot of energy. Today, Gensbe is at his peak and never gives up. More songs are in the works for you, dear listeners. Subscribe to Gensbe on YouTube and other platforms. He is without a doubt one of the best Haitian artists among the big international names. I’ll let you in.

Haiti: A look back at the First Rara Weekend in Petit-Goave

Haitian culture is a true treasure, woven from the creativity of its artists, its rich heritage and the diversity of its cultural expressions. Among these cultural gems, the rara stands as a true national emblem, uniting Haitians through its captivating rhythms and centuries-old traditions. During the first Rara weekend, this very essence of Haitian culture shone brightly, revealing palpable social cohesion. Despite the absence of law enforcement, tranquility reigned in Petit-Goâve, testifying to the ability of citizens to come together in peace and conviviality. However, media attention was mainly focused on the first plain, leaving a certain imbalance in the coverage of the festivities. Ratyèfè, three-time reigning champion, once again captivated minds with his talent and artistic mastery, offering an unparalleled spectacle. But his rival, Lambi gran dlo, was not to be outdone, displaying a determination to compete for first place. The event was also marked by unfortunate incidents, reminding us that despite the beauty of tradition, tensions can arise. Clashes between fans of different groups tarnished the festive atmosphere, highlighting the need for careful management of celebrations to avoid such excesses. At the heart of this musical competition, where each group aspires to recognition and victory, a complex picture of rivalries and alliances emerges. Chenn tamarin, although appearing asleep in the first moments, shows signs of waking up, ready to shake up the established order. On Sunday evening, Lambi gran dlo honored the memory of one of its loyal supporters, while Grap Kenèp was the scene of violence between fans, recalling the fragility of social cohesion when passion runs wild. In this whirlwind of emotion and competition, it is crucial to keep in mind that it is the journalist who must look to the events, and not the other way around. This is how we draw up the first ranking for this first weekend: 1. Ratyèfè 2. Lambi grand dlo 3. Chenn tamarind Beyond the results, it is the preservation of unity and mutual respect that must remain at the heart of these celebrations, making the rara not only a musical festival, but above all a symbol of the wealth and resilience of the people Haitian.
