Janine Mendes-Franco is Regional Editor, Caribbean, for Global Voices Online, http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/ She published this post about AfriClassical on July 30, 2008: “AfriClassical quotes author Michael Largey in its profile of Haitian classical composer Occide Jeanty (1860-1936): By performing pieces that had extramusical programs referring to Haitian political resistance, the Musique du Palais National, with Occide Jeanty conducting, became a symbol of Haitian resistance, albeit in musical, not military terms.” AfriClassical is happy to add Janine's blog, Francomenz, to its Favorite Blogs.
