Èzili Dantò's Note, Hayti's contribution to music and dance, to US Country, Jazz, Rock and Roll and Modern Dance is always forgotten. Twa Fèy ramase sonje. #remember (See Èzili's Vodun Jazzoetry series https://shorturl.at/fhvGY and Èzili's Twitter thread here -- https://twitter.com/Ezilidanto/status/1763813957817500118)

The oldest banjo/banza in the Americas is found in Hayti, made and played by Haytian Vodun musicians. It represents an important link between African and American musical cultures.

The Banjo originates from West Africa.
The Haitian banza, also known as the gombo or gumbay, is one of the oldest known ancestors of the modern banjo found in the Americas. It's a direct descendant of African stringed instruments brought over by enslaved Africans during the transatlantic slave trade. The banza typically consisted of a gourd or wooden body with strings stretched over it, similar to other African-derived instruments.

Excerpt from Èzili Dantò's Vodun Jazzoetry series:

"...Yes, these people, with a spirit that freed five Latin American countries and sparked countless freedom movements down the annals of history; with a language and culture based on the actual and symbolic psycho-spiritual unification of the rainbow of captured African tribes and New World peoples; these people known for the Vodun drums and dance which gave birth to New Orleans Jazz, modern dance, part of the Katherine Dunham method and the liberated beats that called forth U.S. Rock 'n Roll; yes I’m gloating, yeah that country, their people couldn't possibly represent any part of what's truly American.." -- Papa's Maroon Lineage, The Red, Black & Moonlight Monologues, excerpted from KENBE LA!: Crossings of a Vodun-Roots Woman.

                             What they don't want Africans to know
Finally, US bureaucrats exposed! CoreGroup ambassadors to Hayti, Congo - Africa in general - represent COLONIALISM 101, deadly racism & Western warmongering galore!
The UN and the US foreign service with Warhawks and amoral scumbags like Michelle Sison, Helen Lalime, Linda-Thomas Greenfield are CRIMINALs propping up CRIMINAL organizations and murderous rot all over the planet from Lummunba to Aristide...


Here's Rochambeau instructions to officer who was to command the bulldogs imported from Cuba to kill the Haytians:

 "My Dear Commander:

I am sending you fifty men accompanied by twenty-eight bulldogs. These reinforcements will put you in position to terminate your operations completely. I must advise you, however, that no allowance, either ration or money, will be made to you for the food of these dogs. You are to give them Negroes to eat.
