Miami Music Project celebrated Haitian Heritage Month through a special performance by its Little Haiti Debut Orchestra during \u201cLakay PAMM: Living Beyond Borders\u201d on May 8 at P\u00e9rez Art Museum Miami (PAMM).<\/p>\n
Presented in collaboration with Route 1804 Foundation and PAMM, the event transformed the museum\u2019s waterfront terrace into a vibrant celebration of Haitian culture, music, and storytelling, honoring the richness and enduring legacy of the global Haitian diaspora.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusic has always been one of the ways Haiti tells its story to the world,\u201d said Sandy Dorsainvil, Route 1804 Foundation executive director. \u201cHaving the Miami Music Project join us at PAMM is a beautiful reminder that our culture, our children, and our creativity continue to thrive across generations and beyond borders.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Miami Music Project, we believe music is a powerful way to honor identity, heritage, and community,\u201d said Anna Klimala, president and CEO of Miami Music Project. \u201cFor our students to perform Haitian music during a celebration dedicated to Haitian culture and storytelling was meaningful and inspiring. We are proud to create opportunities for our students to connect with and celebrate the communities that represent Miami\u2019s diverse culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a few miles from their neighborhood, Miami Music Project students at Toussaint Louverture Elementary (Little Haiti Chapter) stood proudly at PAMM, with their hearts full of culture and pride,\u201d said Sasha Leon, community involvement specialist and parent outreach liaison at Toussaint L\u2019Ouverture Elementary. \u201cIn that unforgettable moment, they didn\u2019t just represent their heritage; they saw how far their dreams could reach.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miami Music Project students performed for members and friends of the Haitian community at the event, presenting a repertoire that honored Haiti\u2019s cultural identity and musical traditions. The Little Haiti Debut Orchestra performed La Dessalinienne, the national anthem of Haiti, alongside the beloved Haitian folk song Choucune (Yellow Bird). Students also participated in the evening\u2019s cultural programming, enjoying Haitian cuisine and a guided tour of PAMM\u2019s current exhibition, \u201cGet in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLakay PAMM: Living Beyond Borders\u201d featured performances by DJ Gardy, ZB Keys, NSL Dance Ensemble, and Rara Lakay, as well as interactive cultural experiences and storytelling initiatives designed to celebrate Haitian creativity and resilience. Guests also explored \u201ccoming forth by day,\u201d the first Miami solo museum exhibition by Miami-born Haitian artist Woody De Othello.<\/p>\n
