I Soldier on With Haitian Culture Seeped Into My Bones

Culture is the wheel that started my life turning from the moment of conception. 



I soldier on with Haitian culture seeped into my bones. I feel connected to the world because I know that though people from a diversity of countries may have their differences, we all have aspects of who we are that seem strangely familiar.

It was a terrific experience trying to hammer out my understanding of Haitian Kreyol, to add it to this song. Language is a vessel of love that you use while dancing to your rhythm of life. I have had full color samples of the way my people speak, listening to my family talk in their native tongues. The culture may have somewhat evaporated into me, but my output of it is absolutely mine; kinks and all.

When Chicago bassist, John Mueller, saw interest in collaborating on something musical, one of the creative suggestions was to try to tackle my Haitian roots. And so, the song “Haitian” was written and it somewhat paints this wonderful picture of my cultural background.

I invite you to check out Haitian on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXbuZbhtF_A



“Haitian” is a tune by Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller. This tune was originally released on “The Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller Project” on October 10, 2020. This song features multilingual lyrics, both written with English and Haitian Kreyol words. It’s a song about meeting someone interested in knowing more about one’s roots and culture. In this scenario, the response is “I am Haitian.” To hear more music by Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller, please check out the full album on which this song is featured here: The Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller Project by Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-stephanie-jeannot-john-mueller-project/1535349877
