This is one of my favorite videos. It is the one that I dance to at the talent show last Friday. The video is short but it was a success in Haiti when it came out. The song is about how Haiti is wasting. She is wasting her land, her men, her women, her children, and her God. The term “Imamou” is an old African word that the slaves came with when they arrived in Haiti. Honestly I don’t know what it means because it is the only word that isn’t in Creole. However, I know it has something to do with the fact that Haiti is becoming a mess.
Yes, most of the songs and videos that are made in Haiti talks about how the nations have destroyed its land. We have trash everywhere, no food for the majority of the people, no electricity in most places. The country is a waste. And the people aren’t doing anything to fix it either. They are just going along with what they are given; which is nothing.
I like those kinds of videos from my country. They have good beats and rhythms that I can dance to. It is a good entertainment method in my family. Being away from the country, we find comfort on listening and watching those videos. They remind us of the good old days.
