This article is also available in Français and Kreyòl ayisyen
Haitian singer Paul Beaubrun has released “VERTIÈRES,” a nine-track album built around the 1803 battle for Haitian independence.
Released on August 28 on the Lovebrand Records label, the album takes its name from the Battle of Vertières, the decisive clash of November 18, 1803, that led to Haiti’s independence.
As RFI points out, Paul Beaubrun also carries a considerable legacy from Port-au-Prince: that of mizik rasin and of his parents, Lòlò and Manzè Beaubrun, founders of Boukman Eksperyans.
The album’s nine tracks are:
- Papa Solèy
- I Am VERTIÈRES
- Nannan Limyè A
- Pote Lavi
- Rasin Toussaint Tap Pale Yo
- Verite
- Don’t Let Them Get Away Ft Xiuhtezcatl & Badio
- Manbo
- Silence
