- Haiti is a beautiful island, but that's not the side of the country that the media tends to show says Derrick Rowe a #Jamaican engineer married to an Haitian and living in #Haiti.
On this episode of Jamaicans To the World we get a first hand pov of what's it's like navigating two cultures as a Jamaican expat living, growing a family and working in Haiti.

Haiti 🇭🇹 is the mother of freedom !!!
Jamaican used to go to Haiti 🇭🇹 to buy goods and have business in Haiti 🇭🇹 before the chaos
That's what a higgler friend of mine...told me that back then haiti was the place she go to buy goods back then
My mummy did so too in 80s/90 with curaçao panama etc
True. I remember a relative with a mini van going to Haiti to buy car parts
Significant number of Jamaicans don't smoke,curse, nor drink, my brother . It's a narrative the world has about us.African tigress showed us a lot of beautiful Haiti . Love the interview
Jam-Haitian here sameway. Big up yourself Derrick. 🇭🇹🇯🇲 Nou tout se ONE ☝🏾
🇭🇹🇯🇲Nou tout se yon'n☝️💜🌹🌹🌹
❤❤❤
I am jam -Haitian ❤❤❤❤ love me haitian can't speak a creole i teach my husband my language he is very fluent
Very nice show, well for me I was born in Haiti 🇭🇹 my mom is Haitian and Dad is Jamaican, they both met in Cap Haitian while my dad was working on a cruise ship that went into Labadee, after I was born 9 months later my mom wanted to travel by sea to get to the Bahamas my Dad disagreed and suggested to let him bring me to his mother in St Elizabeth and so she agreed that when she got to the Bahamas and settled down he would fly me to where she was, well it was 13 years later my mom laid eyes on me again. They were able to find each other again, she flew down to Jamaica to meet me. Fast forward she then started the process to have me migrate to the US which was granted to me 2 years later, I am proud to be a part of both cultures I visit both countries from time to time. I speak Creole and chat Patwa my kids ask me if I don’t get confused with the languages.
That is so dope! I’m from New York so there’s a lot of Jamaican Haitian mixes but usually by way of parents never the child actually having direct access to both cultures
Wow this is wonderful
A lot of Jamaicans diss Haitians but Haiti is a place like no other. Beautiful country.
I'm also a Jamaican married to a Haitian
Haitians are very affectionate people they greet you with kisses on both cheeks. It's disheartening to see the gang problem.
Jamaican's migration to Haiti began right after Haiti gained it's independence in 1804, jamaican's started to migrate there in 1807, Google Jamaica debt to Haiti, for full detail
Awwee what a beautiful comment. Yes we love kissing people on both cheeks lol. Like you said the gangs are the big problem in Haiti😢😢😢
It is the propaganda spread by stinking usa! Not all of us Jamaicans believe the lies.
@@katleen1022 yes. I love it
The media is something else, one Caribbean 💚💚✅🇯🇲
That is why we must tell our own stories. Love every bit of this interview . Big up mama Haiti 🇭🇹🇯🇲
As a Canadian-Haitian married to a Jamaican and we also live in Jamaica a few months out the year, I absolutely love this interview and love the information given, I'll will still put in some quick correction, so haitians definitely do not fry everything, far from it, one of many parts of the cuisine, is called Fritay and it's different meats mainly pork and goat, fried plantain, fritters etc. it was popularized as street food back in the days and is served on special occasions, but not eaten in most household on a daily or regular basis, we mostly eat different rice and peas, stewed vegetables and meat, stewed peas, meat in sauce etc. Also Haiti is actually close to 14 mil unofficially, but 12 mil recorded, making it the most populous island in the Caribbean, the diversity of the cuisine from the different regions vary greatly, in terms of religion even if voodooism is prevelent, it is not anywhere near 50%, the best breakdown would be about 60% catholic, about 30% any protestant denominations and 10 to 20% voodooism, with some being catholic at the same time. Must add francique mango is considered one of the highest quality mango in world 🙂loll, all jokes aside, I really enjoyed this interview and cuddos on your creole,
Thanks for watching and adding some great information.
That’s a lie voodoo is incorporated in almost every aspect of Haitian culture whether directly or indirectly even down to the politics…even the most devoted Catholics go to the hougan when they get sick
The best way to describe Haiti
I had Jamaican neighbors in the 80s and 90s in Haiti. They had a farm where we used to go buy chicken, lamb, etc. Since then I've dreamed of visiting Jamaica. Still planning on it.
Thanks for sharing and hope you get to visit Jamaica.
What's stopping you
@@giniolamycoco manman'w. I have seen how much you belittle my country Haiti. get manman'w, go away.
Stop planning. Just go!
Haiti is truly a free country...my country ❤
Haití is not free no more , Its currently kidnap / colonize by USA
I feel like I want to visit Haiti, just & only from this interview.
Non wonder i' m always proud to be HAITIAN! THANKS BROTHER, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY❤🇭🇹
Wonderful interview. He was full of vibes for sure!!! I was in haiti for over 3 weeks 5 yrs ago, and the food and the ice cream were delicious!! I was in the city... very vibrant, and the people were wonderful. Haiti is a vibe! I am jamaican, btw😊🇯🇲
Wonderful JamHaitian!
I am a Haitian living in Jamaica for 9 yrs. I am living in Clarendon.
Actually, Haitians don't fry everything, all depends in the family you're living with.
If you haven't yet, ask your wife to prepare for you sòs kabrit, legim, bouyon tèt kabrit etc.
Make show you say hi to me when you pass by Jamaica 🇯🇲 the land we love.
Big up to my Jamaicans brothers and sisters. we are one family 🇭🇹🇯🇲
The Kenyan Vlogger, African Tigress, showed us the beautiful side of Haiti including Port au Prince. The media loves to show the bad parts of Black countries so it's best to ignore them and keep an open mind.
Have u ever been to haiti??
She did a great job showing the real Haiti.
@@Beyondme7700I have many times. What’s your question?
@@Beyondme7700Have you been?
Yes I want to visit Haiti after seeing that bloggers videos. Signed someone that lives in Florida.
I’m born and raised in Haiti, Jamaica is always in mind can’t wait to visit🙏🏾
" Jam-Haitian " good one... love it
WOW! 😃 What a small world. I personally know the Haitian guy he mentioned in the video. In the early 80s, we had KFC in Haiti. It was the best KFC I've ever had. It was better than all the KFC meals I've had in the US. However, I haven't had Jamaican nor Indian KFC yet.
Big up yute... Haiti is a very nice place...big up the Petionville crowd and big up Olivier mi good friend dat. French style that...you went in Carnival time...party central that...belle femme galore
Petion ville is not the only nice town in port au prince. Google Tara's Haiti, MORNE calvaire, belle ville Haiti, Montagne noir Haiti, kenskoff Haiti, MORNE calvaire Haiti, all these towns is in port au prince
@@josephLindor-ki7op big up bredrin...I used to live in Haiti...lol
I am so glad you have told the world about Haiti in such depth. JAMHatian, love it.
My father's neighbours in Florida were Haitian and he was the kindest person ever.
Xavier definitely one of the best and I love all your interviews ❤
Big up Derrick for this interview. I almost forgot to how amazing of a country we have 😁
This is beautiful. That was a nice interview. Haitians make great sauces. It may be that the people he knows are mostly from Port-au-Prince. Haitians do not fry everything. Haitians from different parts cook differently. He should try Lalo. Lalo is a dish from the Artibonite region. Francis is not the best mango, there is more of it. A few of the best are Corn, Pen Sucre, Jean-Baptiste, and one other whose name I can't remember. Pen Sucre is my favorite.
Thank you for showcasing the beautiful side of Haiti.
Haitians are wonderful island people. Jamaicans and Haitians share a close history. Jam-Hatian family here.
Haitians are one of the nicest people, they are hardworking and ambitious. What does a real Haitian look like? They are mixed like any other island. They have some of the most beautiful people.
Traveling is a great learning experience.
I'm Haitian, and I need to correct you a little here, Haiti is a country with a population of 98 percent black, so mm pakon'n saw wap di la ok frere
@@josephLindor-ki7op You still have a mixed population regardless of the percentage.
@PC-zg3eo Mist Haitian are black like this person said. Mixed like my mother is a very small percentage.
Even in Creole we don’t block words or sensitize words in music we give it to you raw
Haiti 🇭🇹 for ever, love my country!❤
Correction! Haitians do not fry everything. Yes, we have an array of fried dishes called "fritay" such as fried plantain, dumplings, sweet potato, griyo, etc., that are not consumed daily . Although we do not make curried meats, we do, however, make stewed meats such as stewed chicken, goat, beef, and seafood. Great interview. We love our Jamaicans.
Yes , I agree... When I was a kid, we only ate Fritay at parties or special events.
I was about to say, love the interview, but fritay is just one part of the cuisine, not consumed daily or on a regurlar at all.
We do like grilled our goats (kabrit boukennen, in my time called Taso. Now taso it's fried goats.) Nice conversation.
@@ME213377Taso can be goat or beef! I love both! 🤤 Our food is sooooo good!
@@mizzpoetricsOr turkey hehe
Big up to all my Jamaican brothers and sisters! I am Haitian; but, I love Jamaica so much that I can borrow the term “Jamaitian” to describe myself. 😂
Surprised Derrick, as a Clarendon native, didn't mention getting a couple Juicy Beef patties whenever he lands in Jamaica. I still cannot wrap my mind around a Jamaican not eating Ackee😲. Now on the Haitian food I'm surprised he didn't mention Legume (a spinach mixed with various meats), Mayi Moulen (turned cornmeal & saltfish stew) and Ragou (Cow Foot). I enjoyed the interview.
I truly enjoyed this interview. Thank you both for a fun and informative interview. Respect.🇯🇲
Love seeing this sort of interaction. It’s just disheartening how others are creating division between the two nations. Yet, we have so much in common. Big up my brother! You always welcome my Jam-Haitian! 🙌🏽
Xavier, this is one of your best interviews. I really enjoyed it. Jamaicans and Haitians are similar.
You know this is the first time that I hear a real Jamaican talk so kind and seems to have great understanding about life in general . Brother you are a real true person. A lot of respect to you 👍
The media always shown the worst of Haiti
Conch can give you some very interesting dreams! Very nice report. RASpect!
Ooh, never knew.
Cool interview. Haiti cuisine is known for its stews as well Food is stewed for hours!! 😊
Big you self Xavier brother. Jamaican. Live all over the world Big up to Haiti 🇭🇹
I laugh when people talk about Haiti. We have people from everywhere living in Haiti and they're treated like family. Haitians are very welcoming, they love people. You heard how dominicains treat Haitians living in Dominican Republic, Dominicans, Cubans ect living in Haiti they love Haiti and the people, there's no difference, they're living like families in Haiti.
Love the interview, but Haitians do not fry everything! The fried food is called Fritay, but we have our meats in sauces or stewed in vegetables called legumes such as lalo (jute), kaya (spinach like), and many more dishes like bouillon, Tchaka, just like Jamaicans. When things calm down, visit other places like Jeremie, Artibonite to learn the cuisine more. We do not use curry though.
His wife can’t cook, it’s obvious
Thank you for acknowledging our best sites. Nice to have you in the Haitian family 💜
Also Haitians come in different shades mixed and so on. You have Mulatos , Arabs, Polish, German and so on. You have areas in Haiti 🇭🇹 where some people skin or shade is like caucasian skin. For example Fon des blanc , Cazale and so on. Although mostly we are dark African.
So people shouldn’t have one ☝️ perception on how a Haitian looks like.
.
Point that was said, media when people learn them can not trust the media..
That’s why it’s important to see things for self and make your own judgement. God didn’t create fear. That’s how we miss a lot of opportunities. Be Free as God’s creation. Haiti 🇭🇹 is beautiful. Trust
What a nice and articulate man, very eye opening interview. I thank you very much for that interview,now i see Haiti in a different light , makes me want to visit.
Been with a Haitian for 14year married for 8years i am a jamaican love my husband so much they got good people there love my Haitian family
😅😅😊 I watched this episode with a hugh smile on my face, just as many of the other episodes.
This should be aired on tv stations in Jamaica so that Jamaicans who have issues with Haitians just by hearsay realized that every country including Jamaica have good and bad
Heavy on the including Jamaica cuz they really act like their shyt don't stink 🤦🏾♂️😭
@@arthurm.358Haiti used to be a safe heaven for our jamaican brother's and sister's, they were the first to migrated to Haiti for safety 3 year's after Haiti gained it's independence. for full details, Google Jamaica debt to haiti
@@arthurm.358as a Jamaican I agree. Even last week I have to cuss my husband. And anybody who speak bad about Haitians. Because they are fully brainwash by stinking america propaganda media.
You say the truth, because sometimes Jamaican curses Haitian most of the time.
And cusses are nothing but MT words from vile tongues.@@ricardobernard4095
This is one of the best interviews to date.Derick could be a tourism minister for Haiti.He actually changed my perspective about the country.We always see and hear the worst about Haiti.
Excellent interview as usual 👍🏿 🤜🏿 👌🏿 🇭🇹 🇯🇲
Jamaica was where Haitians used to go into exile during political upheavals in the mid 1850s. Lots of upper class Jamaicans have Haitian ancestry. This well-documented in the Jamaica Gleaner.
Enjoyed your nation bro. Haïti and Jamaica is one blood family. I m proud being Haitian and love Jamaica women. Beautiful and very widely open in love
I have to disagree with the voodoo part and I’m Haitian. Majority of the Haitian people are Christians, but yes, some practice voodoo. We cook stew chicken, stew beef, and goat just like you without the curry. Fritay is street food. We don’t make fritay at home for dinner.we have lot of different kinds of mangoes not just one. Please get it right.
Mr. Xavier, I reproach Mr. Derrick for his insertion that " Haitians fry everything ", because that is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!
ALL the dishes that he mentioned are fried we, Haitians also DO NOT FRY them. By the way, we make the BEST OXTAIL🤗
I will also reproach him about the Haitan National dish being Conch or Lanbi because Fried Pork/Griyo/Griot and Rice are for most of the country, and regioanally the main dishes are different; for example, in the Artibonite Department the main dishes are Lalo/Jute leaves and the best rice in the world, Madan Gougousse/Duri Lakay
I absolutely enjoyed and appreciate the interview
I enjoyed this interview. I am from the caribbean and the majority of my friends are haitian and I speak Creole fluently. I agree they fry alot, but they also make stews with tomato paste. Derick is a brave man.
Very going conversation...tempted to visit Haiti now.
Thanks for watching. I want to visit
Been there it was a culture shock nothing can prepare u for the experience...
@@Beyondme7700what shocked you?
Thanks for your show about Ayiti. We have a minister of tourism. They just don’t want to advertise Ayiti. I am so glad to hear your Ayiti an accent.
I smiled the whole time
Excellent interview Xavier, Derrick provided lots of gems . I was hoping you were going to ask him about the Susumba/Jamaican myth, lol.
Very good video. Thank you for sharing.
He's right we didn't eat ackee when i was growing up in Haiti, i learned how to eat ackee in America.
I knew there had to be a good reason he was living in Haiti 🇭🇹 his beautiful Haitian wife
As a Haitian man this one of the best interviews of Haiti love it you tell the truth love your videos my Jamaican brothers ❤🙏🇭🇹
This video make me happy. Something good to talk about.
Respect for you bro 🇭🇹✊🏿
I am travelling to Haiti from Jamaica in November. Can you connect me with Derrick Rowe the Jam-Hatian?
He is incorrect on the "fried everything".
When Bob Marley died we Haitien mourne Bob Marley we cried and this is the first time we know about mariwana
I just finished watching your show I love it.I am from Haiti,we used movie theaters but because of the violence that been going on all of those theaters have been close.God bless you
Thank you 🙏🏾 great program.
That's dope 👌
I am Haitian American, and I enjoy the interview. He knows a lot and also has a good understanding of the culture and language.
Wonderful interview
That interview with Jamaican living in Hatti was very good and interesting thank you ❤
Thanks watching.
Great interview
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience
Best interview Ive seen from this channel so far for me! Thanks!
The Brandt family in Haiti are originally from Jamaica. 😅 They created the Haitian beer Prestige based off of Jamaican Red Stripe
You want to get everything for yourself what a selfish brat
Voodoo in Haiti 🇭🇹 is what Rastafari is in Jamaica 🇯🇲 A lot of people look down on people who practice it but it's part of the culture in both nations
Good insight. I know both religions pretty well. And ppl wonder why bith is frowned upon in both places
@carleonking010 that's the reason why ya country is in such a turmoil....full-time now y'all stop call upon them ancient deities..... God ova devil
What about the patwa Jamaican are loud too
@kristoffdixon390 You are simplistic in your approach. With an open mind, think about the Hindus and Shintoism in Japan. Christians say that's devil worshipping, too. Why then are they very successful? The reason why blacks (turmoil is a black issue, not a Haitian issue) are struggling is historical not cultural. Enslave a people and limit their progress and see what happens. I don't know how much education you have, but what is happening to Haiti is not out of the realm of possibilities for Jamaica or any island in the Caribbean.
@@user-tn9bs7zm9oAll blacks are loud. It's an African trait as expressed by drumming.
Wow I love this
An Awesome interview... you are representing well❤❤❤❤
JAMHAITIAN GOD FATHER BIG UP TO YOU MY BROTHER ONE LOVE
Enjoying this interview from 🇧🇧.
Hmmm! I smiled from the beginning until the end. Love it
Great interview, me being a haitian we haitian like jamaicans...i have many jamaican friends, i just came from montegobay my jamaican friend took me and my wife around we had a great time...we tried that sorel ginger drink!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥they have the best jerk and ice cream down there..
Very good interview, guys! I love it! Derrick, I'll be happy to visit Jamaica. Let's wait for a great occasion.
This was such an amazing story. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing.
I look forward to hearing the others.
Malay!!!🎉
Nice show Xavier 👍
that was interesting thank you nice to know
I am Haitian and my husband is Jamaican…….much ❤️
Like you're is story it's wonderful .. good job appreciate. Thanks again
I m from in Haiti 🇭🇹.
Bon bagay!!! Welcome to Haiti brother.
I’m Haitian 🇭🇹 and my beautiful wife from St Elizabeth Treasure Beach Jamaica 🇯🇲
Mom is from Clarendon and I know Spalding.
We love we accept you as our bro. However, correction regarding the food, we don’t fry everything like it’s only fried meat we eat, it makes me believe even though you’re living in Haiti you never experience the Haitian food dishes. We array of dishes good food. We make a variety of of stews, soups we call them “bouillon “. We have legumes that a lot of foreigners love. Open your mind give us credit experience the Haitian cuisine really and truly. Peace brother. May The Lord bless
I have been to labadee Hati ,and I'm Jamaica on Royal Caribbean
All the Haitian women are beautiful what you're mean a typical Haitian woman looks like .Are you're serious.Have you visited Jacmel Aux Cayes where you find the maraboux . SMH
Nice one, go to even know that Haiti is fully a part of CARICOM Caribbean unity, one Caribbean nation. ❤
Thank you both for this conversation about the beautiful side of Haiti and our love and respect for Jamaicans. I love everything about this interview, except Derrick's comment that his wife does not look like what Jamaicans think Haitians look like. There is nothing non-Haitian about your wife's morphology.
Why did I know this was going to be you Derrick before it was said. Big up Clarendon, big up Glenmuir. I now eat pikliz everyday ..... Love it.
