Above the fray.
AMERICAN MUSIC
  • Cool and The Gang: Idont know how it started. But while we didnt know what the fukk them cats were saying in english Cool and the Gang was SUPER DUPER popular in Haiti
Celebrate was a super hit record, across the world. Especially in Montreal, for whatever reason. Montreal Haitians going back home probably put people on to K&TG.When I say super hit.......it used to be the go-to song for New Year's Eve, sports teams winning titles,etc.

I figured that a Montreal sports team won the title the year that song came out....and it was the theme played during the parade.





Jersey legends, doing what Jersey does.

When you say Western Africa,I think you might mean ENGLISH speaking West African countries.
BINGO!!

See cat's like @Budda dont understand how impactful language barrier is. Ever wondered why you have little to no clue of great legends of Latin music that are world renowned yet you dont have a clue who those people are? People like Julio Iglesias and Celia Cruz or Kassav who are household names and LEGENDS in Spanish and French speaking communities yet the average american has never heard of those name. Some may have heard of Celia Cruz but will never understand how huge she was in certain communities.

Now imagine the same for people who dont speak english hearing about these american artists you speak of who YOU THINK are known worldwide...until you realize they're not.

Both my parents are Jamaican. Pops moved to the states in his 20s, mom moved here when she was either 1 or 2 so she's heavily Americanized. She grew up on 70s soul/R&B, like Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, etc. She's very religious though so when I was growing up she played mostly gospel music in the house(ie. Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, BeBe and CeCe, etc.) My dad didn't really listen to music so if I heard any reggae/dancehall it was mostly from my aunts and uncles

Wait... you mean they watched that HERE in the US.

Sanford and Sons, Jeffersons, GoodTimes were never broadcasted in Haiti. Unless your folks already spoke english when these shows were at their peak and TeleHaiti (haitian cable company) broadcasted some of the shyt in English and they watched it. But i highly doubt TH broadcasted network sitcoms. That would be TNH (Tele Nationale) and unless it was translated into french or kreyol TNH aint broadcasting it back in those days


NOPE.

Just because you and your friends keep repeating it wont make it true, doggie. :umad:
You would be surprised. I had never heard of the names Marvin Gaye and all these MoTown artists until i moved to the United Stated as a teenager in 1993. You may have a few rich kids that had access to american music via CableTV and would listen to it at home but nowhere in public would you hear american music in Haiti if it wasnt Prince, Michael Jackcon, Stevie Wonder and big names like that. THose will get a bit of playtime, yes. But not all your nobodies get play time on the radio abroad.

When i saw Kings of Comedy when it came neither me or my uncle knew what the fukk Steve Harvey was referring to.
:usure:

Late 70's in PaP? They didn't broadcast those shows? They might've watched them when they arrived in the US in the late 70's early 80's.

That's what im saying: They didnt watch them while in Haiti. They watched them here. Which i did too when i moved here in 1993. All reruns of said shows of course. American shows didnt start to broadcast in Haiti until late 80s and early 90s and it was only those that were translated in french like Cosby Show, Three's company and Who's the Boss. TNH wasnt gonna pay all that money to rebroadcast shyt that was in english which 99% of its audience couldnt understand. TH is another story but #1 very few people could even afford it and #2 they didnt broadcast sitcoms from what i recall. Mostly a few american shows but it was mostly movies from HBO and the other big networks
