Les Difficiles de Petion-Ville during Carnival in the 1970's

Here is a picture that I want to share with you. Difficiles de Petion-Ville during Carnival in the 1970's. This was a time of great competition between the Mini-Jazz such as Difficiles, Gypsies and many others. Back in the old days, I was tod that Carnival in Haiti was something special in a sense that it was better organized.

Some of the things I personally remaked. One the competition or the "Polemic" between the musical bands were more discrete. Back in the 1970's and the 1980's, the bands were not involved in name calling. It was left to the imagination of the fans to interpret the various statements. This is unlike today where any one is able to call any other anything. No statement is left to the imagination today

Another thig i notice is that there was more na effort to get costumes. I remember "Kanaval des etudients" and others

What do you think?

Do you see a difference between today and yesterday Carnival in Haiti?
