Boukman Eksperyans is a band in Haiti that was created to show the people the ways that the country is being destroyed by its own people. Every songs and videos the this group of people makes always describe how Haiti was the first black Country to be free from slavery. But, it didn't make any good because we are destroying ourselves. There was not point of fighting for so long when it wasn't worth suffering after gaining our independence.
I like to listen to Bookman because the beat is great and the words are deep. Throughout the song, the lead singer is saying all the little steps that Haitians has made in order to make Haiti miserable, poor, and bloody. There are so many men that are trying to take over the country. They tell us what we want to hear in order for us to let them rule. They tell us that they will bring more safety, give us more food, and bring us happiness. Yeah right!!!!! Those people are as selfish as a dog with a bone in his mouth. They want the money. That’s all they’ve always wanted. That’s always the case with every leaders of Haiti. They want the money, and the fame for being the president. After that, they just run. Well, I think its clever what they do because Haitians never learn. They will continue with the same routine of electing the person that sweet talks them into giving him the country.
Bookman sees it all the time. That is why the group always sing and make video about it. But the Haitian People only listen to the beat and ignore the words.

Steve Brunache La relèv
This video is an old video form my country Haiti. I have seen, danced, listen to it for as long i as could remember. The song is about Haitian men leaving the country in order to come to America. They are leaving their wives, children, and duties in order to go to an outside world. In one part of the chorus it says " Fre'm yo ou ale, Simby nan dlo. Fre'm yo wa ale, Ginen nan bwa." this phrase is saying that his brothers are leaving like the mystical mermaid in the water, or the dark shadow in the woods. As Haitian, we don't want our brothers to leave our land. We have plantations to do,animals to feed, and houses to protect. We know it is a better decision to be in America, but if all of our brothers leave, who will help us plant? who will helps feed? who will help us protect? This what the video and the song are saying.
This song makes me thing that the writer was somewhat discriminating against women. throughout the song, the men is sing about Haitian brothers leaving the country. But, what about the sisters. It feels like, without the brothers, no work will get done. The animals and the plants will die, and the houses will be unsecured. Well, women can take of business too. we can do as much work as a men in society. so why does this song refers only to men?

Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are [Official Video]
The video"just the way you are" by Bruno Mars, is one of the video that i enjoy watching ang listening to. He is, throughout the video, saying that the girl is beautiful for just being herself. She doesn't have to change her appearance to make a man like her. She doesn't have to put on make up in order to look beautiful. She doesn't have to starve herself to lose weight in order to look sexy. Bruno, in this video, is just telling her not to be self-concious. The way she is right is perfect to him.
This video applies to every girls that feel that they are not beautiful, sexy, or good enough for a man to look or like them. They have to know that their appearance is a minor problem compare to what's on the inside. Girls these days need to feel secure with how they look like. I know we always find something wrong with our body. But we have to know that we are still beautiful no matter what. And, we will all find that one guy that will tell us so just like Bruno Mars. We shouldn't give up and start hating on our appearance just because that one man hasn't appeared yet.
