WNYC, Track Review >>
Manze Dayila is a young Haitian singer in New York living a particular version of the American dream (with a bit of nightmare in the mix): Eight months pregnant, she joined a raft convoy and floated from Haiti to Miami. She then was detained in Cuba for a month - finally released because she was about to give birth. Manze made her way to New York, busking in the subways (although she’s going upscale with a gig at Joe’s Pub on election eve). She just released her first cd, Sole. Manze has recorded a rollicking song for Obama in the misik rasin style, which is known for its political commentary. The Youtube video is charmingly low budget, shot in a hotel room with musicians and dancers jump-cutting in and out of the picture and bold text graphics. 11/03/08 >> go there
