Answer 2

Last resort would be something from Haiti Twoubadou,... 3 cds came out not too long ago mixed by several o the best artists from Haiti. The beat reflects the typical Haitian lifestyle as well... listen to that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV30uizip...

Answer 3

Just some advice regarding obasangos answer... I would stay away from Sweet Mickey. His music tends to be a little "mature" sometimes. And if you don't understand kreyol and know which song to pick, i'd just avoid him all together.

You can also try:

Emeline Michele

Zin

Zenglen

Krezi Mizik

Alan Cave

If you can find any of the oldies they would be great:

Skah Shah

Tabou Combo

Tropicana

Good Luck

Answer 4

I would reccomend the following Haitian artists:

Racine Mapou de Azor

Carimi(a very popular Haitian group)

Wyclef Jean

T-Vice

Boukman Eksperyans

Djakout Mizik

Sweet Mickey

....many others
