Hi everybody,
This is Osée Résidor, from Haiti.
I would like to tell you about WYCLEF JEAN. Recognized as the most Haitian representant around the world.
FIRST PART : His Biography :
One of the most important personalities in Hip-Hop music, Wyclef Jean was born in Haiti and moved to the US at the age of 10. He first entered the spotlight in 1993 with the release of the Fugees debut LP, Blunted On Reality. The groups name was inspired by the plight of refugees from Haiti and other members included rapper/actress Lauryn Hill, and Clefs cousin Prakazrel Pras Michel. 1996s The Score was a huge success selling over 6 million copies and earning 2 Grammy Awards for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal (Killing Me Softly) and Best Rap Album.
In 1997 Wyclef released his debut solo album The Carnival which went platinum, with help from steady radio-play and massive MTV rotation for the single Gone Til November. During his acceptance speech for the MTV Music Video Award for Best R&B Video, Wyclef spoke about the movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back (for which he a contributed a song on the soundtrack): I was saddened and offended to see my country (Haiti) used as a brunt of an AIDS joke in the movie... AIDS is a crisis and not a... comedy.
His second CD Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book went gold. He has also produced hits for other artists including Whitney Houstons smash hit My Love and Carlos Santanas Maria Maria and His production company Fugee Camp features upcoming new artists such as his brother and sister who perform as Melky Sedeck. An enigmatic performer Wyclef plays several instruments on stage while rapping in English, Creole, Spanish and even Japanese. His foundation The Wyclef Jean Foundation to promotes musical education among kids. In an interview with Kompa Magazine when asked if he considered himself to be more Haitian or American, he replied "Im 100% Haitian. Im proud to be Haitian. I still have my Haitian passport. I represent Haiti in everything that I do. Every head in the industry knows that Im Haitian… they know what Im about. I was Haitian first. Haiti till I die!"
His Discography will be sending soon...

Sincerely,

Text published in Haitian Creole in order to mark the International Mother Language Day, On February 2.
Bonjou tout Zanmi mwen yo,
Se avèk yon gran plèzi mwen ak ekri nou jodi a pou mwen salye nou e to pwofite fè yon ti pale ak nou nan lang manman mwen ki se lang kréyòl Ayisyen, nan lokazyon Jounen Entènasyonal Lang matènel yo.
Se you bon lide pou mete apa yon jou pou reflechi, selebre nan le mon-n antye lang matènèl yo, pami yo kreyòl Ayisyen. An Haiti (yon peyi ki twouve nan sou kontinan KARAYIB la), se yon peyi ki rich an bote, bonte, divèsiti kiltirel ... Peyi sa a rekonèt kòm premeye peyi NWA endepandan sou latè. Aprè li te pase anpil centenè anba esklavaj gwo fòs enperyalis ewopeyen yo nan epok ki ant XVe e XIXe syèk, yon gwo koken-n chen-n revolisyon ki te dirige pandan plizyè deseni (sòti nan Kasik Henry rive nan Henry Christophe - an pasan pa Boukmann, Toussaint Loouverture, Dessalines, pou mwen site Ero sa yo sèlman).
... A suivre ...

Le pardon !
Related to country: Haiti

SAlut à vous tous.
Je vous propose aujourd'hui un article sur le pardon.
" Pardonner est un acte exclusivement humain, les animaux en sont bien incapables.
Pour pardonner il faut au moins être deux. Le pardon suppose en effet qu’il existe une relation.
Toute la vie est une succession de relations : famille, travail, quartier, société ; et tous nos actes, qu'ils soient libres, personnels, ou dictés par des règles de société produisent un effet bon ou mauvais selon l'intention que nous leur avons donnée.
Lorsque nos actes sont volontairement mauvais et dirigés contre des personnes, on les appelle des offenses.
Toute offense appelle le pardon pour que la relation altérée retrouve son harmonie.
En l'absence de pardon, la relation peut être détruite à tout jamais et les protagonistes réduits une obsession de haine, parfois de vengeance, qui conduit lentement à la destruction de leur personnalité.
La qualité du pardon se mesure à l’intensité de la relation. C'est ainsi que nous sommes beaucoup plus affectés par l’offense d'un ami que par celle d'un inconnu.
Si nous avons une relation d'intimité très forte avec Dieu nos fautes seront ressenties beaucoup douloureusement parce que nous savons le degré de peine qu'elles provoquent : comme Pierre, dans l'Evangile, qui pleure amèrement son infidélité à Jésus, et Marie-Madeleine qui s'entend dire par Jésus "Il lui sera beaucoup pardonné parce qu'elle a beaucoup aimé."
Le degré d'amour entraine à proportion la soif de pardon.
Je suis disponible pour vos commentaires ".
A+
Osée Résidor.
