Boukman Eksperyans - Ti Pa Ti Pa - (1804live.com)

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.
