Drums by Candle Light
I have this video and I wanted to show it as an example of Haiti’s musical prowess – but the night was dark and the lighting wasn’t spectacular. The power and precision of the drummers is remarkable, though hardly visible here. Instead, what is on display is a brief window into Haiti’s drum-culture and a demonstration of the raw talent that exists in this musical country. And if I had taken the advice of a friend, and had my camera surgically fixed to my hand, I would have had even more examples – and well-lit ones at that – of the harmony that drums and a musically inclined culture produce.
