Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From Leslie Griffiths, Methodist Minister:

听

It鈥檚 fourteen years since I travelled to Haiti with Andy Kershaw. I鈥檝e been travelling back and forth to Haiti for most of my life, I lived there for ten years. I speak both of Haiti鈥檚 languages and that鈥檚 allowed me to get right into the Haitian mind and to enjoy deep and lasting friendships with people who, though among the poorest on earth, are blessed with an inner strength that I鈥檝e rarely found anywhere else. Andy had no such experience to draw on but that didn鈥檛 stop him making the most of his visits. No sooner off the plane than he was rooting around, talking to anyone who looked at him, finding out what made the place tick. His curiosity about Haitian culture was insatiable 鈥� the art, the voodoo, the Cr茅ole language; but especially the music. Haiti is unique. While other countries were waiting to have their independence granted by the colonial powers, Haitian slaves waged war on Napoleon and snatched it for themselves. Andy felt the heartbeat, the love of life, that throbs beneath the obvious physical poverty of this lovely people. He鈥檇 go into Cit茅 Soleil, a notorious hotbed of dissension and disorder, and put his finger at once on its musical pulse. He found kids who rapped in a place where they were without electricity and had no instruments, but all they needed to make rap music was their voices. He discovered the raw energy which produced well known singers like Sweet Mickey and Wyclef Jean. If anyone wants to understand the Haitian people, battered by earthquakes and hurricanes, floods and political revolution, their music gives a clue and explains how and why, in body, mind and spirit, they can survive anything life throws at them and still look you in the eye and smile. Music is for them, as it is for most of us, the food of faith and hope as well as love.
