Good drums, good singer,. perfect harmony when it is about Haitians folklore THE SINGING HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE DRUMS, THE MOVES AND THE RHYTHM. Good job!
Peter Johnny Tenay study about AYITI and our dances... we have to clear up our ignorance so we can check people properly on our dances and culture.... yanvalou is mostly danced by women in all white... dances are as if you have no spine like a serpent... fertility and blessings are big for the meaning of this particular dance! Go learn love! It's our duty!
I am Christian, however I have a deep respect for Haitian musical folklore, and have concluded that not all of it is Vaudoux derived......I get the feeling that a lot of it must be Animist, say like in Senegal and the like.......I think more serious anthropological research should be done about Haitian folklore....for instance I hear that they made a "pact with the devil" At Bois Cayman in 1791, which to mean sounds like typical white westerner stereotype of the Dahomeyan pact that was made by the Africans then......Bois Cayman was the spark of the revolution and according to C. L. R. James in "The Black Jacobins".....the translation of the original African dialect in the pact.....basically meant that the Africans swore to kill all the whites, or perish themselves if they didn't.....there was no evidence of the so-called "pact with the devil".....in the original swearing of the Dahomeyan pact at Bois Cayman.....at least that's the drift I get from the information I have seen thus far.......
Ariel Fornari I do not see the point of saying you’re Christian. It’s good that you know your roots. More of us should and stop the nonsense persecution and mistreatment of people of the voodoo faith.
Peter Johnny Tenay, don't ever speak for me. Maybe this dance doesn't mean anything to you, but as the choreographer, it means everything to me, my artistic growth/freedom, and Vodou.

Papa Legba karese lwa yo pou mwen...
" Ayizan velekete "
whats the song about the ceremony, the one after laplas
What does the dance symbolize?
Peter Johnny Tenay, don't ever speak for me. Maybe this dance doesn't mean anything to you, but as the choreographer, it means everything to me, my artistic growth/freedom, and Vodou.
This dance is an artistic interpretation of a Kanzo, an initiation ceremony. The initiate is reborn, and becomes a Manbo, a priest in Haitian Vodou.
Thank you... I was writing a short paper on diffrent videos that he choice and one of them was your video.

I am curious about Haitian musical culture. This genre has a relationship to vaudoux ceremonies or animist religion in Haiti?
Ariel Fornari yeah and?
There is no animist religion in Haiti. There is Vaudou and there is Christianity,
