“I think a lot of people might not know the history of Haitian music and its importance to the development of genres across the entire western Hemisphere… across Black culture, African American culture, but also the rest of the Caribbean,” says Brun.
“If I were to describe Haiti to someone who’s never been there, I would say… it’s grounded, rooted. It’s a combination of many cultures across hundreds of years that made it what it is today.”
Pandora Artist Takeover Modes live on the platform’s top stations and feature the biggest names in music across Pandora’s most popular genres. Artist Takeovers feature music handpicked by the artist including a mix of their own songs and personal favorites from other artists, with special audio commentary describing their selections and what they mean to them.
