Find out why Djakout Mizik was a no-show at the Brooklyn Flag Day Parade.
HaitiXchange caught up with Roberto Martino of T-Vice and his mom Jessie right after the Brooklyn Haitian Flag Day Parade and got some information regarding the group’s success as well as insight as to why Djakout Mizik was a no-show at the parade.
Beautiful weather, T-Vice rocks the party, but Djakout a mysterious no-show.
In what turned out to be the best weather this parade has probably ever seen, thousands of Haitians flocked to Brooklyn’s Nostrand Avenue for the annual Haitian Flag Day Parade. Dancers, guys on stilts, and Roots bands kept the crowds entertained the length of the parade route, while the headliners, T-Vice, brought up the rear. Djakout Mizik, the other headliners (as well as T-Vice musical rivals) were expected, but mysteriously absent from the day’s festivities.
In a show of pride, unity, strength and resiliency, Haitians and Haitian-Americans celebrated Haitian Flag Day on Thursday, May 22, 2008 at City Hall in Manhattan, New York City. This is not the first time they have done so at City Hall, but what makes it different this year, it that it is the first time an elected Haitian-American official has taken complete charge of organizing the event.
