Haiti is Caribbean by birth, French by education, and African by culture. Haiti was originally inhabited by Taino and Arawak Indians. When the European conquerors took over the island, they enslaved the natives. Hard work and diseases such as yellow fever caused the majority of the natives to become extinct. They were replaced by African slaves. Haiti has two official languages; French and Haitian Creole, which is a mixture of some African dialects, French, Spanish, and English. The music of Haiti is the konpa, the kadans, and the troubadour. Some people think that Haitian music sounds like a slow merengue, which is the music of the Dominican Republic. In Haiti, Soccer is the official sport. It is played by both men and women. |
