Vwadezil appears poised to do it again! Their song for Kanaval 2008 is out and hitting the airwaves. True to Vwadezil style, their song " Ki Kote'w Ta Ye" (Where Would You Be), comments on Haitian sociopolitical realities, and is full of word play and innuendo.

Come see the sites and sounds of Haiti's Kanaval (Carnival) 2008, the best attended Haitian carnival in recent history. Watch T-Vice, Ram, Brothers Posse, and others pass by on their gigantic floats, and watch the "defile" (parade).
We chased down Carimi as they closed down the parade on Eastern Parkway. They were the last major Haitian float to pass by, and was the only Haitian float to make it all the way to Grand Army Plaze. They were accompanied by Boujou of Djakout Misik and Wyclef Jean.
