Legacy of 1804 | A Haitian Artist's Duty with Keb | St-Eloi on Haitian Strikes

This is a pre-recorded show as host Alice
Backer of kiskeacity.com is receiving an award from
the Alfrolatino Festival on Friday night.  In
segment one, we listen to Jafrikayiti interview Haitian
artist Keb (Kebert Bastien) on why he considers it his
duty to reflect and amplify important Haitian political issues in
his music. They are joined in the segment
by Haitian-Canadian filmmaker Will Prosper to
discuss his activism in Montreal on behalf of Pierre Coriolan, a
mentally ill Haitian Canadian who was recently gunned down by
the police in his home. In segment two, we hear Dahoud André
of Eritye Papa Desalin interview Haitian labor leader Dominique
St-Eloi on where the labor strikes in Haiti and their demands
stand.  (There will be no Q&A. See pre-and post-show notes
