To Ms Ferdinand;
I was wondering at which hotel in Haiti one might find the "Holy Grail of 
Truth". Is the truth hotel in Petionville or some where in Cite Militaire? 
Maybe there's a hotel in South Africa which spouts the truth.

I wish I had seen Pringle's article....

As far as our Thursday night shows are concerned...where ever i go in Haiti, 
people of all ages, from 5 years old on up, sing RAM songs to me. Right there 
on the street, or where ever I happen to be standing. RAM songs are usually 
traditional folklore songs, of the Haitian people, by the Haitian people and 
for the Haitian people. You'll never understand what we're singing to the same 
extent that a Haitian can. It's the Haitian language. The Haitian code. It gets 
them through times of thick and thin. It's not 30 year old Hip Hop and it's not 
50 year old Kompa....It's roots. Haitian roots.
