Selebre Mwa Istwa Moun Nwa: Prens Guetjens Fè Mizik Ayisyen
English: Haitian musician Prince Guetjens performs Haitian vodou music (Yon Mapou, Tout Kote nou pase), Troubadour music (Rejete, Pè Bawon) and songs about segregation (Strange Fruit), etc.. The basis of Guetjens' work is vodou music that was played Haitian clubs in the mid-1940s with "Jazz des Jeunes,” after the Rejete campaign of persecution against Haitian culture and tradition organized by the Catholic Church and the local bourgeoisie. The performer's music creates a link between Haitian culture and Western culture.This program is sponsored by the Friends of Cambria Heights Library through funding made possible by former Council Member Daneek I. Miller.Watch live on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/QPLNYCVisit http://queenslib.org/BHM22 for more Black History Month programs.

Baz travay Guetjens se mizik vodou ki te jwe nan Klib ayisyen nan mitan ane 1940 yo ak "Jazz des Jeunes", apwe kanpay pèsekisyon Rejete kont kilti ak tradisyon ayisyen òganize pa Legliz Katolik ak boujwazi lokal la. Mizik entèprèt la kreye yon lyen ant kilti ayisyen ak kilti oksidantal.Pwogram sa a patwone pa Friends of Cambria Heights Library gras a finansman ansyen Manm Konsèy Daneek I.
