@@nayankamarciarobert1036 I think it's a beautifully sincere and cathartic expression of grief. It would be terrible for the practice to disappear. I think about how I was the only one at my grandparents ultra-white American funerals that cried their eyes out while everyone else acted like emotionally repressed stoics that had gotten over it years ago while their caskets were still open.
@TT-ww8vv Sorry to hear that and for your loss. In my country, when someone passed away, all the neighborhood make sure to gather together to help for the viewing. We have coffee and ginger tea along with some clairin (sugar cane alcohol) served to anyone who stop by the house of the deceased. Just like in the video. Unfortunately the last 15 years it tends to change, the viewings are slightly turning into big party with dj and catering services. I went to a few, and hated it...
Never seen or heard of this tradition before and I’m Haitian.
Ou poko janm al nan veye????
Just because you are haitian you think you know everything..
Fuck me Ima go off what the comments are saying, I’m writing a paper on Haitian vodou and finding information of death and dying rituals is a pain
The narrator is saying a whole bunch of lie.
So much lies!
Bunch of lies.. just listen to the spokey song the narrator played for the video.. disrspecting our culture!!
Lies? That is the way we mourn our beloved ones traditionally. Thing may have change the last 20 years but it sure was like this before
