Are there any marching songs or rebel hymns that date from the Haitian Revolution?
I love Haitian Revolution history. I love 18th and 19th century history in general as well. There are all kinds of historical marching songs on YouTube of different countries. So I’m wondering are there any Haitian ones?
I’m aware that language barriers can cause a lack of information when studying regional topics. For example in the Spanish language there is more information you’ll get on the Mexican War of Independence than from English sources. So maybe in Haiti or Haitian Creole sources there are known oral or written sources of marches and/or hymns. They HAD to have had something. I find it hard to believe they DIDNT or it is ALL lost to history.
