2. Cultural Input began 500 years ago
After a long period of wrong treatment towards the Native people, the Island of Hispaniola (Haiti) finally, got its Independence until the year of 1803.
Work and Associations have developed ever since. In spite of not belonging to their cultural pattern, Haitian people have found that Knowledge comes from Education, and Industry comes from Association.
Objectivism (1) and Subjectivism (2) are bound together: By consequences, through different means.
1: sculpture, paintings, photograph. 2: Music.

3. Music is a part of everyday life in Haiti
Music is a part of everyday life in Haiti. Haitian music is vibrant, danceable, and most often religious or politically charged. Because of the country's location in the Caribbean as well as the rich history of the isle of Hispaniola, Haiti's music has French, African, native Taino, and even Spanish influences. Freedom of Interpretation is essential.
VARIOUS INFLUENCES MAKE UP HAITIAN MUSIC, THE real effect IS seen WHERE THESE END UP…

4. ART HAS COMPONENTS WITH EDUCATIONAL MEANING
Among these, the tahino & VODUAN cultures search for the spirit within... lack of knowledge of any kind means no education. NUMBNESS.

7. “ Hip Hop songs blast from passing cars, spiritual hymns echoes from churches, harmonic choruses ring from the vocal chords of Haitians tending to laundry, and melodies of all kinds are recited by joyful dancing children. Music is a part of everyday life in Haiti. States Amanda McFarland, from the CRUDEM Foundation, 2017

8. VOUDUAN MUSIC
The musical style of “Vodoun” can be described as heavy drumming, spiritual dancing and chanting, and this is the basis for the music that has been radiating from Haiti ever since culture has been what irradiates from the island.

9. Politics in MUSIC
Music and religion are deeply rooted in Haitian society, and so is the idea of political freedom and justice. It makes sense that music and politics became intertwined in Haitian society as well, to help to evolve the political views of the Haitian people.

10. Multiethnicity: In order for a system to be considered w/ a social approach, it should meet various ethnicities.
The social streams in Haiti are determined by their history and political present… Multiethnicity may disrupt homogeneity, but it enhances many development possibilities.
It is the Social cradle of language relationships in Haiti.

11. CONCLUSION Education is the key to build the Mainstreams of future occupation, status, relations and life. MUSIC, is the power switch to make it acceptable & enjoyable to everybody was the year of official introduction of the language and its development to Education.
