The Haiti You will never see on TV

- NOT EVERY PART IS A SLUM OR RUINS... This is what CNN, Nat Geo, Movies, or others never showed you guys before or after the quake. All we see is ugly! A lot is, but a lot isn't. Yes Haiti is very poor, and it just got leveled by the earthquake, it will take many years to even get back close to normal. Although it is poor, what cant be taken away is its rich culture, and strength. If you saw the coverage you saw people who already had nothing, got that leveled, and still praise God, they still chant, they still have hope, they still move on. Our culture has great sounding music, great tasting food (not mud pies that you see the kids with nothing eat on tv), nice dancing, and hard working family oriented people. It's hard to find Haitian American scum in the US... They come here and do great things. Port au Prince should have never been that poor and overcrowded, but with Haiti now all over the news and awareness is everywhere, people forget that its a whole country and not just Port au Prince. People can invest time, money and effort outside that crowded city. Many Haitians can relocate to the other provinces. Life can be restored somehow...
Its hard to make some/little forward progress and then have to deal with natural disasters that the country cant handle at this point...(hurricanes, mudslides, and now an earthquake)
Many reasons as to why Haiti is the way it is after 200 years of freedom... Yes there has been corruption, but interference has devastated the place. We have all contributed to Haiti's misfortunes, but the former colonial power France and the current colonial power the US, bear most responsibility. They punished the former slaves for their temerity in throwing off both slavery and French colonial rule: the US could forgive them for kicking out the French, but to abolish slavery was unforgivable. Washington refused to recognise its neighbouring republic for 60 years.
By then, the French had virtually bankrupted Haiti through its demands for exorbitant reparations. Haiti was in the grip of a chronic political instability that was exacerbated by foreign interests keen to exploit both its weakness and its resources. In 1915 the US finally occupied the country, in part to remove the influence of rival European powers, and ran it like a colony for nearly 20 years. Haiti has rarely been free of US interference since.
The long-running dictatorship of Papa Doc Duvalier was supported by the US, as was the succession of his son, Baby Doc. After Baby Doc's departure, in 1986, the US attempted to fix the first elections, a policy that led directly to the election day violence in November 1987. Undeterred, Washington continued to meddle. When Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the hugely popular former priest, was finally elected president in 1991, he was ousted in a coup before the end of the year. President Clinton negotiated his return in 1994, reportedly on condition that he accept a US blueprint for Haiti's economic development. When Aristide won a second election in 2001, he was again deposed, in 2004, this time forcibly flown by George W Bush's administration to exile in Africa, where he remains.
I am a Jamaican, I am extremely proud of Haiti. If all the Caribbean was as strong as Haiti we would be a better Caribbean. Love you Haiti with all my heart.
Lol sike. There’s like 3-5 countries MAX in the Caribbean thats actually wealthy.
Seeing what Haiti is like. From Jamaica. Caribbean love🇯🇲🇯🇲 and love the music. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
It's CRAZY people always show the bad parts of Haiti! As a Haitian it's offensive but no matter what I will always love my country good or bad❤️
Cabo haitano
Cabo haitino
Blessedbabyyy exactly

Exactly i get so annoyed when people keep saying "its poor" and assuming that when i lived there i lived in poverty 🙄
I'm from south Africa may the mighty lord bless Haiti.... The media doesn't show the beautiful side of African countries
Thank you
All media don’t show the nice place
I'm Haitian 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹.
I love my flag and my country.

Haitian Zoe Prius xxx n
and we love you too! Lage peyi m'!
I am Greek and Haiti was the first country who recognized my country when got it's independence,wish to all people of Haiti to see their country as they wish!!! Love from Greece!
Thanks for showing the Haiti people rarely see in the media...the pictures are beautiful!
Haiti is such a beautiful country! It has a beauty that America doesn't understand! I've been to Haiti several times 4 missions and plan to move there. I have always said that Haitians have a beauty and a joy that I never seen. The way they can praise God in the heat, while hungry (n church is like 5 hours!) with their kids (no kid's church) is amazing! They have so little and are so happy! Thanx 4 sharing-Esp the history, I learned ALOT! I loved seeing the taptaps! Bondye beni ou! :-D
Jennifer Fretwell that's how bad the situation is, for people to worship an imaginary friend for hours since they are living in a shit hole country
Because everyone hates for not good reason, Haiti will rise among the greatest Nations in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. May God change the hearts of all the haters.
Amen
Wesly charlestin where you fail is thinking white jesus is going to save you. That is the religion of your ENSLAVERS !!!!!!
Thanks because I was born in Haiti
And now I'm 12
deepminds777 no one even knows what god is or what he/she looks like
I'm Dominican and I love Haitians! by the way who sings this song?? love it.
1. Relax by Ti Kabzy
2. Je Vais by Haiti Twoubadou
Hope you enjoy😁
We love you to man!!
You look good. Im not haitian im from st maarteen but i like dominicains😀😃😊
Litampha Linda Caribbeans in the house!
Yeah!!! We are united each other right I enjoyed haitians songs though
I've spent my whole life trynna explain all of this🇭🇹
My prayers and sympathies go out to those who have families that have been affected by the storm in the Caribbean and thereabouts.
There's poverty in every country in the world! We Haitians, we have so many countries against us because we are the first black country that said no to slavery! We contributed so much to the success of the US in so many ways. A Haitian man discovered Chicago. We helped the US fight the Revolutionary War! I can go on and on! You should educate yourself before you start disrespecting Haiti and Haitians. Peace and God bless you kid.
I'm a Dominican and I know
For sure how Haitians people are
Very hard workers and I understand that Dominican is a
Poor country and we can't have
Too many Haitian living in our
Country because the economy
Is weak. And I know the Dominican
Government spend lot of money
In hospital and education for
Haitians living in Dr, but the big
Problem is not the Haitian people
The big problem are the corrupts
Dominican and Haitian governments in both sides.
The Dominican army guys taking
Money from people to let them
Cross the border also taking money from Chinese people to
Come to live in Dominican, that is
Not new , that happens for years.
Malditos gobiernos corruptos.
I hope that the Haitians find the
Way to have better life, they deserve because they are human been. Haitianos metanle
Manos a sus corruptos gobernantes y que Dios les de mejor vida.
We are one island , but different
Country. My wish is To see one day
Haiti with growing economy, growing tourism Like Dominican
Improving education, health ,
Environment. Then we will be proud of our island. Dominican one country Haiti another country
Both with great success in economy democracy and both
Independents country. Not one
Country in one island, two country in one island,because Haitians are
Proud of they country and Dominicans are proud of Dominican Republic.
Juan Zapata, I agree with everything you said!
during my visit i past a neighborhood who looks so beautiful it blew me away
im so glad i could see this because these are the area's my parents grew up in.When you tell people you're haitian they think you're poor but on both sides of my family they were very welthy because of being doctors and also working for the gouvernment
My dad's Haitian and my mom is American. I've never been to Haiti, and my dad tells me all the time I should visit. He said it' isn't what all what they make it seem to be. However, my dad's family was considered rich in Haiti. He said he can move back to Haiti and love lovely it just that Haiti didn't have the oppurtunites American has. From this slide show I think I might take him up on his offer!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm haitien born in cap haitien but I was raised in new Orleans. I wish I can understand or even speak creole cus I really like this first song on the video
Allen Joseph yes that's true but mostly the elders.
Pokinho Nicolas et le francais !!! idiot...
Pokinho Nicolas I feel bad for you. Your parents did you wrong by not teaching you to speak the language of your ancestors. BUT, you can still learn it. I have so many white American friends that speak Haitian creole.
Pokinho Nicolas I meant no disrespect , it's just that I get agitated by my previous generation who thought it was okay to not teach their children their strong proud history, rich culture, and language. Now we have a bunch of people in my age group who grew up here looking stupid when they see white people and other nations Speaking our language and enjoying our culture way better then them.
search youtube for some Haitian Creole lessons. A lot of them are pretty good.
Thank you for posting. I was looking up nice parts of Haiti because you never see them. I refused to believe that it didn't exist.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH .....& FOR THE HIS-STORY LESSON, PEACE & LOVE!!!
What a beautiful country - beautiful people!
I love how you showed the many beautiful parts of Haiti in your video, very excellently(does this word exsist? 0_0) done! Ur right, Haiti is not all ruins and slums, its just the way the media portrays the country. I'm proud to be Haitian!
how old is this video? does it look like this still? 😚
i am haitian and i live in haiti i was born in miami but I AM STILL HAITIAN
Daniel Cuevas sheesh
I consider myself haitian American but same
Daniel Cuevas i was born in Senegal but lived in Haiti for the majority of my life with my family but what does it make me Haitian dumbass. Because all i know is more about Haiti then about Senegal. I speak Wolof, listen to my home music, and eat there food but I'm Haitian that's it. You Americans are closed minded why don't you live there for fifteen years then you'll see.
Sasha's channel exactly but I'm Senegalese born in Dakar. But lived In Haiti and if people wanna get really into this Haitians are considered African there culture is more African. food is just like sierra Leon food. voodoo is from Benin music is influenced from west end central Africa Haitians even dance to African music Congolese to be specific at least were I lived. The first slaves to arrive on the island Senegalese people and Africans from all over from central to west Africa. So please you Americans that are close minded and never lived there can shut up.
no ur american
Beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Mwen pa ayisyen, men mwen renmen kilti ayisyèn lan anpil. Mwen ta renmen ale Ayiti yon lè pou pratike e amelyore pwononsiasyon mwen an kreyòl.
Mesi pou sa
Ki nasyonalitew?

I'm enjoying the beautiful photos and the music
Enjoy dear
I love the first song on the video, what's the name of the song? Who is the artist?
Thank you for this video! Some parts of the world enjoy demeaning other parts of the world. This video shows a different side Haiti that is not televised.
what are the names of the songs playing in this video?
Good job by the way!
My country Haiti love I'm Haitian in I'm proud I'm Haitian
Beautiful! Where are these pine forests (2:45-2:58)?Haiti has a lot of variation in climate and terrain-the mountains are beautiful
what is the name of the first song on this video? and whose it by? I really like it.
I'm so glad you posted this positive video avbout Haiti. I visited last year and am soon going again. It is a lovely country with many friendly people. Prices are high for hotel visitors and I believe that is because many hotel rooms are taken up by "do gooders" on expense accounts from aid organizations. The ones I met did nothing good and had a nice vacation at the expense of those donating to help Haiti.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE FIRST SONG PLEASE??? MERCI BEOUCOU
OMG, I love this song! What the name and who is the artist? I want to download this, possibly from the Itunes store!
Hi, what are the names of songs you used? thanks

Good job on the video ! They never show these parts on TV.. God bless the Haitians... Haiti will soon rise back with its glory.. Haiti diserves better.. They helped America get an independence- so Haiti diserves more then this..
whats the song played in this video i love it i wanna download it
Love from Jamaica, my brothers and sisters. Haiti will ALWAYS have a place in my heart. It was YOU who were the first to stand up to the tyranny that suffocated the Caribbean region for many years.
Big to Touissaint, Dessalines, and Henry Christophe. All of us as Caribbean people owes some measure of grattitude to you.
There are a lot of places I would love to visit, and right up there is Haiti, just to personally thank you, and enjoy your absolutely beautiful country.
One love from Jamaica.
Great vid man!
I'm Haitian and proud!!
Kia Jones and your beautiful at that
Awwww thank you!! ;)
What state do you live in
Kia Jones me too proud Haitian/ Levite🇭🇹
Kia Jones pays de merde !!!!
They don't want Haiti to be love that's why they never show anything positive about Haiti. but its all good. Cause most of our Haitians are very proud to be Haitian especially us who living out of the Country.
What are the names of the songs used?
can sumone tell me the name of that song
The media portrays Africa the same way, as slums, dirty, and uneducated. Very sad. I'm from North Africa and would love to visit Haiti.
Great video and song, would love to visit Haiti.
Shoot a video on the north side of Haiti see how cap Haitian look like the French quarter in New Orleans
anyone know the name of the first song ?
Thank you Haiti for your culture in my country Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. Through the cedula of population Haitian came to my country and brought their culture which became part of Trinidad culture and after Tobago.
What are the songs that play in this video?
what is the name of the 1st song?
i haven't been in haiti in 8 years now im 12, but i can't wait to visit my country again in the future.
I would love to go back...
@Elgrego this is beautiful, I know most of these places but you should have put the locations where the picture was taken because I want to go visit them...I been Port De Paix, and O-cap but in a few months, my brother and I are going to Jacmel then taken the bus to Port Au Prince and to the Northwest region. J'adore cette photos, merci paske gen moun ki pa konnen Ayiti; nou genyen an belle peyi.
Tia are you in gomez school in St . Thomas
Haïti is a hidden treasure,
A hidden beauty ready to be explore. One suggestion though, regarding the video is location of these admirable sites.
This a city in port au prince
what's the name of this song
Absolutely beautiful!!!
I recall as a child visiting the island and was always call sir and was told Upper class doesn't mix with classes beneath them. I miss the days of swimming pools, luxury homes which have since been sold.
Group name is T Kabzi , the song name is Relax.
I think that's in Bel Vil the suburbs of Port Au Prince,Haiti
Wow! I Made this video 7 years ago not knowing it would get this many views and love. Of course its not without the expected ignorant comments, but for the most part, I am glad this shed some more light on Haiti. I will go back this summer and bring some HD footage to continue showing the beauty the mainstream refuses to show.
wats the name of that song !!!
ki non premye mizik la please?
I love my country more than ever ❤🇭🇹💪
@antonioqrqs if you knew how to read, you would have noticed some information in the description.

Love our people!!!
Mwen se yon petit Goâvien et m se yon haïtien map viv États-Unis. Actuellement I love you my country
Thank You for Educating these folks. Because all people want to do is run their mouth with no understanding or wisdom. Whether they think Haiti is beautiful or not, we fought to get our independence and came to America and taught them how to fight. Its a "shit hole" now but our country was beautiful. Yes we are strong, we fight along side of our Heavenly Father and we will not be ashame
lovelygroove don't worry us Haitians will rise.
#Haitian #CarribeanGang🤟🏾🤪❤️ I’m proud of myself and my country I’m born in the USA but my parents are from here and I’m happy 💜🤟🏾

I like that song
Salutes to u bruv
@305judithd1 its call relax by ti kabzy,its good huh?i love that song.
I'm Jamaican as well and I know for a fact that some Jamaicans like Haitians. Haitians are people like everyone else. Learn to love and not spread hate.
@carmelbrown AND DO YOU KNOW WHO W. E. B. Du Bois IS HE WAS ALSO HAITIAN?
we are a great nation... we should stay united as before, i love my sweet HAITI hey guys if you don't com yet to this sweet country you should come now.....
About to hit 1K my dud3!
the kenscoff part is the most beautifulllll
You right my friend I’m from fort jacques kenskoff is not to far like me
All of you guys need to understand that Haiti is not POOR. We just don't know or too lazy to bring out our richness for others to see like many other islands are doing...And just because Port-au-Prince is broken that doesn't mean the other parts are...Haiti is RICH!!!
+Leeth Ambroise
Now you are just full of sh!t, Haiti has went through so many storms, and earthquakes, demonizing, racism, and other countries trying to make them pay for standing their grounds everyone knows what time it is? Its just haters want to see Haiti fail, like the racists they had to run out of their countrie!
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Has been for a loooooong time
+Britny Mark Actually no. Haiti really went down in the 90s.
Haiti is a shit hole country. End of story
lol wow that was a long time ago when i was little i used to see a lot of good locking places in haiti but things changed :(
Waiting to visit Haiti after 29 years abroad. Haiti Cheri here we come.
Welcome dear
yes fanily some one show them when I was in Haiti even the poor side of Haiti was beautiful specially the beaches
Haiti is beautiful!!!!!
@twistedleg you mean the large corporate owned hotel chains will make a lot of money. In Mexico hotel workers earn about $3.00 US per day.
Wowwww tande yon Djazzzz Haïti peyi manman m peyi papa m . m sonje ou wi m pa we kile pou m ale nan peyi m
