I went to my very first Kanaval in Haiti several years back. The night before the actual festivities were scheduled to start, I was on Chand Mas walking around and I made the mistake of getting tired and sitting down to rest in an open, grassy area where there were numerous vendors selling food and drinks. I sat down near some tents and shortly noticed a steady flow of young women who had to be no more than teenagers or in their early 20’s entering and exiting a line of tents with young and old men alike. I later learned that these young women were prostitutes, the men were their “customers,” and they were having sex in those tiny tents in the middle of all of the pre-Karnaval excitement. If I had been a bit more observant, I likely would have figured this out given the large number of used condoms and wrappers littering the area outside the tents and on the streets of Chand Mas generally. If Haiti is looking to ban ellicit sexual content, I think it should start there and not waste its resources banning artistic expression. #WeHaveBiggerFishToFry

Oh plz, the American rap, hip-hop, and pop videos has more booty shaking and way more provocative scenes…..Crazy how Haiti will bw quick to band there own videos due to much skin but will quickly air a R rated movie or music video from another nationality….GREAT VIDEO, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

It is a very nice video for mature people, I think it is pretty racy, and I would not want my kid to be watching it as a personal choice, but I don’t think it should be banned. I’ve seen worst being played on tv in Haiti as a kid. All those American movies with hot sex scene should be banned as well.
