“Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” vs “Sensation (Bidi Bidi “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” vs “Sensation (Bidi Bidi Bam Bam)”: A Cross-Cultural Musical Connection. 🇲🇽🇭🇹 ⁠
⁠
Originally released in 1994 by the legendary #Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” became one of the most iconic Latin pop songs of its time. Blending Tejano, cumbia, and pop influences, the song captured the feeling of a heart skipping a beat when in love. With its playful title mimicking the sound of a fluttering heart, Selena’s track became an anthem for love, joy, and cultural pride, cementing her status as the Queen of Tejano and a global music icon.⁠
⁠
Nearly a decade later, in 2002, #Haitian kompa band #TVice released “Sensation (Bidi Bidi Bam Bam)”, which echoes the energy of Selena’s hit through its infectious chorus and lively rhythm. While the lyrics and genre differ, T-Vice’s version is firmly rooted in Haitian konpa; “bidi bidi bam bam” carries a similar spirit of romance, excitement, and movement. Their version became a dancefloor favorite across the #Haitian diaspora, showcasing T-Vice’s flair for blending catchy hooks with vibrant Caribbean sound.⁠
⁠
Though unrelated musically, both songs are tied by their use of a playful, rhythmic phrase that transcends language. ⁠

In a high-level diplomatic meeting on Monday, Keny In a high-level diplomatic meeting on Monday, Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi and #Dominican Foreign Minister Roberto Álvarez jointly called on the international community to deliver and expand its pledged support for the #UnitedNations-backed Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in #Haiti. The meeting in #SantoDomingo comes amid growing concern over the mission’s limited impact due to a significant shortfall in funding and logistical resources.⁠
⁠
The mission, approved by the UN Security Council in 2023 and led by Kenya, was established to help restore order in Haiti amid escalating gang violence. Despite the deployment of approximately 1,000 international personnel, around 75% of whom are #Kenyan, the mission has struggled to make progress as heavily armed gangs continue to expand their control. ⁠
⁠
During the joint press briefing, both diplomats warned that the mission’s effectiveness is being severely hampered by insufficient funding. While the MSS was projected to require $600 million annually, as of late 2024, only $85 million had been contributed. The situation deteriorated further in February 2025 when the United States announced it was freezing its financial contributions to the mission.⁠
⁠
“The MSS mission cannot operate without the tools it needs,” said Minister Álvarez. “We are asking the international community to act on its commitments; lives depend on it.”⁠
⁠
Minister Mudavadi echoed the call, emphasizing Kenya’s continued commitment to the mission but urging global partners to provide the financial and logistical support needed to carry out the mandate effectively.⁠
⁠
In response to the escalating crisis and the mission’s lack of progress, the #UnitedStates has begun exploring alternative strategies, including the potential deployment of troops from #LatinAmerican countries under the Organization of American States (OAS) umbrella. U.S. officials have reportedly initiated discussions with countries such as #Colombia, #Brazil, and #Argentina about contributing personnel, with Washington offering funding for troop commitments.⁠
