HAITIAN & DOMINICAN SINGERS ON HISPANIOLA & THEIR SILENCE. - Santo Domingo

RE: HAITIAN & DOMINICAN SINGERS ON HISPANIOLA & THEIR SILENCE.

anthonyC I think artists are more influential than you imagine. You are right, when they are directly political it often comes off wrong and boring. However artists are very influential to politics because the popular music of the day indicates to you what values and attitudes are shared by the community of listeners, and what ideas and sentiments will be humiliated and hated. Even when the artist is not being explicitly political, or I should say ESPECIALLY when they are not being expressly political, they exercise influence on the way people think.

So on this particular topic, if certain Haitian and Dominican artists collaborated repeatedly on normal, non-political songs it would help improve relations. However if they did it as a staged, directly political performance ppl would react more as anthonyC indicates and prob ignore it.

True, If they act directly with no kinds of precedents to a rushed on stage performance it would be ridiculed that is why they must start being on albums together to get a feel that reciprocally people are being persuaded by the message they are trying to convey or send out. Musicians are very influential when socially when it comes to political problems that always seem to be social at first or seats in the societies where they stem from. To change most or any politics, you must reach out the society to reject negativities of bad politics then the politicians have a duty to change their ways of conducting politics since the complaints of such society has become socially an issue which will nevertheless become a Governmental social issue that are as much part of politics like any other aspects such as economic... You get my point?

Somehow I dont think this will work out at all. It will be like what happened with the leaders several years ago.... One of them shows up and the other one leaves and then you have just one group on stage. j'ai vu J'ai participe Je me souvien - 1804

Doubtful or not, it has to start somewhere until the chain reaction takes off. It is never easy at first, but it could work, otherwise it is true that Dominicans & Haitians are both really ignorant and neither one of them want peace if they cannot push for the success of something like this.
