The Connection (WBUR Boston & NPR), Longing for Home >>
Emeline Michel grew up in the Haitian countryside on the banks of a river. There was no electricity, but there were long afternoons with her father under the shady trees of home. She grew up singing, studied jazz in the U.S., moved to Paris, recorded in Montreal, but Emeline's music is the sound of longing for home.
Singing in "Kryol," she celebrates the street lifeof the city and the sweetness of life in a remembered country. Two hundred years after gaining its independence, the shade trees are gone, and Haiti is a shattered nation. But Emeline Michel is not giving up on hope for Haiti.
