No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Les Shupa Shupa D’Haiti.

…Eighteenth-century Haiti became a hellish outpost, marked by avarice, brutality and White fear at being so outnumbered. It was also a pleasure-loving land where younger sons sent off to make their fortunes tried to recreate the château life of home. Decadence requires a soundtrack, and African musicians were pressed into service to play the English ‘country dances’ (contredanses) that were so popular with the French aristocracy. The history of popular music sparkles with styles born out of failed attempts at mimicry. Brits trying to play American rock ’n’ roll created something fresh, as did Jamaicans imitating New Orleans rhythm and blues, to name but the most obvious and recent of countless examples. In providing the music for French dances, Africans in Haiti planted the seeds of what we now call ‘Latin music’.
