American Express 80's Haiti Tourism Promo

THANK YOU
Beautiful video. I expected to cringe, but it was surprisingly respectful and accurate. Tourism was a major industry for the country back then.
Haiti was one of the top vacation destinations for wealthy Americans back then,
Until the "Tree Islands" and "Come Back to Jamaica" tv ad campaigns came through and crushed the buildings.

Ask your folks about those travel commercials, they ran on tv all the time, surely they would remember them. Basically when those ads were on, if you were an Islander......uneducated people saw you as having to be from whichever ad they had just seen. Either the USVI or JA. The very first Fugees single "Boof Baff" made a reference to that.

* @9:31 "Voodoo" is the African word for spirit", but I'll allow it. Hehehehe

Poukisa ou pa konprann konsèp mwennnnn

Ki fè nou pa byen
Mwen vle chanje sa
Pou nou toujou renmen
Paske, I know
Mwen gen defoooooo
Mwen gen defo, I know

My Haitian brethren dem, mwen se yon frè Surinamais.

The instrumentation, the lyrics, the whole vibe is so fire.

I would love to experience what Haiti was like Pre 1986. The stories I hear from my dad and grandparents seem so surreal. They always tell me how immaculate and safe PauP was during their era.
My generation can't catch a break.
