~ SONG LEADERS ~
|
The beleaguered Caribbean nation of Haiti suffered a major catastrophic setback after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, one more severe than the quake over 11 years ago, struck on the morning of August 14, 2021. 48 hours after the disaster it was reported that over 1,300 people had been killed, hundreds had been injured, and hundreds more remained missing. This was followed by more devastation from Tropical Storm Grace.

We are coming together as community song leaders to show our support and raise funds for the beautiful and resilient people of Haiti. Our song leaders will teach and lead songs in Haitian Creole, French and English. You'll learn more about the proud history of the First Black Republic from Haitian-American song leader and vocalist Claudia Eliaza Zanes. We'll also hear from Rick Bausman, whose organization Rhythm of Life has direct ties to the hardest hit southern part of the island.

Woody Guthrie's iconic song "This Land is Your Land" is one of our favorites at the Global Village Project. In this version we collaborated with Congregation Bet Haverim, chorus directed by Will Robertson and music director Gayanne Geurin.

"As the bee takes the essence of the flower and flies, without destroying its beauty or perfume, so wander in this life." This quote from Buddha inspired my Frenglish song "Bees Make Honey." Jessica Lily's beautiful video accompanies verses about bees, birds, fish, and spiders... their gifts to us.
