Solid’Ayiti is an initiative of artists and activists in Montreal working to build long-term solidarity between people in Montreal and movements for social justice in Haiti. The ‘Artists for Haiti’ concert series, an initiative of Solid’Ayiti,\u00c2\u00a0 launched in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti on Jan 12th that left tens-of-thousands dead, major elements of the public infrastructure destroyed and a country already the poorest in the western hemisphere severely wounded. Solid’Ayiti will work to promote self-sufficiency, independence, social justice and peace in Haiti for the long-term.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Artists for Haiti II is a fund raising event for Lyc\u00c3\u00a9e Jean-Baptiste Cin\u00c3\u00a9as in Limb\u00c3\u00a9, Haiti. For many years the Lycee was using the space of l’ecole nationale des filles until its construction during the 1st term Rene Preval government. The Lycee has 2 sets of classes, morning and afternoon, of approximately 2000 students, boys and girls and 100 staff. However it has no funding, no library, no cafetaria, no computer labs, no court to play in. All funds received will be directed towards this school to secure funding for continued education, all the more important given the devastating events since Jan 12th.<\/p>\n

After traveling between New York City and Montreal, Dramatik formed the iconic Montreal hip-hop group Muzion along with Imposs and J-Kyll. Muzion quickly developed into one of Quebec’s most celebrated hip-hop ensembles, and in 2004 Wyclef Jean enlisted Dramatik and Muzion to collaborate on the hit track \u00e2\u20ac\u015324 heure \u00c3\u00a0 vivre\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
