Ti Band A Pieds Yo, A Haiti Kanaval Story

Find out what it feels like dancing to rara or band a pied in the pre kanaval season in Champs De Mars Haiti

Let me tell you a story, last Friday, I got a taste of the band a pieds in Haiti's Kanaval. I had just finished my Champs de Mars style fritay followed by a nice cold Prestige beer, then suddenly "M-tande yon ti band a pie k-ap vini!"

We had just started building Stand Alez then I told everyone "M-ap Vini"

M-antre nan ti ban-n nan, M-tombe chante!

"depi sembal la frape....
k*** Medam yo sou b*** yo...
Paste a di li pa kapab...
Moun manyen moun''

Next thing I know I am on the other side of Champs De Mars near the Haitia National Palace!

Some people will tell you it is dangerous because others can harm you. I went in and I didn't get harmed. I lived to tell you this story.
