Haiti - Music : Towards a Mapping of the Haitian music industry
01/08/2016 09:25:35

For the first time Haiti won the call for proposals of International Fund for Cultural Diversity of UNESCO, through the Association "Ayiti Mizik" and its project "Mapping of the Haitian music industry".

Note that the project "Ayiti Mizik" will allow the Haitian music industry to adopt a critical impact study for its development. This study will enhance the music industry by providing it with numerical data, while ensuring the conciliation with the National Conference on Culture 2011 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-3478-haiti-culture-our-culture-is-our-force.html

This mapping of the Haitian music industry will also be the starting point for the development of cultural policy in this sector and having a multiplier effect for other Haitian cultural sectors. The field survey, combined with consultation meetings and online questionnaires will be conducted during the summer period (August-September) by the company Ayiti Nexus.

Along with the realization of this important study, a field survey (combined with consultation meetings and online questionnaires), will be conducted with stakeholders throughout the country and in the diaspora, with the support of partners among others: the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Tourism and creative Industries, the Investment Facilitation Center (CFI), the French Institute and the network of French Alliances in Haiti and the Swiss Embassy in Haiti .

According to Pascale Jaunay, music expert of the project "The size of the music sector is estimated at more than a third of the cultural sector as a whole and its influence embraces very diverse expressions strongly inspired by traditional knowledge. It generates an economy based on a potential market of over 12 million inhabitants (including the diaspora). However, the very informal nature of this economy greatly limits its development."
