The island nation of Haiti has experienced tragic events within the past few years, including a devastating earthquake in 2010. While the country has tried to pick up the pieces since then, rebuilding has been slow. Even with these terrible experiences, however, the country has a spirit that is unwavering. Haiti has many traditions such as bright, colorful paintings depicting daily life, Haitian Vodoo, Carnival festivals referred to as Kanaval, and relaxing Kompas music. All of these elements combine to create a vibrant and rich culture supported by a welcoming and proud people.
