Happy Mother's Day in Haiti today. Big holiday and everyone in church. I love Jacmel's mosaic. It's a trademark. Lovely architecture that has the dyaspora helping to preserve these gems. Good job African Tigress.
Thanks for the historical information on Jacmel. You continue to outshine your talented capabilities with a detailed description wherever you visit in Haiti. Don't be surprised if outlets like National Geographic Society ask to access your content on the other of Haiti, which I never knew about .
Have a restful Sunday, and be safe.
Congratulations to your team who looks out for your security. They are the best. Blessings to your entire team.🎉❤
Beautiful💯😊
For the people fighting about other caribbean nations being the first to have this or that before Haiti, where and to whom do I ship the cookie or gold star to? Like this is why I believe “caribbean unity” and “One Caribbean” is all smoke and mirrors.
Yess....I agree but I guess everyone wants and deserve their props....each island has something significant to boast about
we are the same group of people who have had different oppressors
We are not fighting but trying to uncover the truth. So if in Jamaica we were told we are the first than all of a sudden we hear it is not so, we will be sent in a state of confusion . It will send us to want to discover the truth . So you cant just make statements and not come with facts. Cant send people into confusion and puzzlement and not have your information to enlighten us please.
Wheter or not its nothing to fight about because it was not us who took the technology here anyway it was our different colonial criminals. But if it was first in Jamaica which was what I was told from a child thats just what it is . Now I am understanding it was here first privately but Haiti had it first Publicly . Lets do the research so we can get the truth of the matter.
@@melisasimms2348 well tell the rest of your compatriots in the comments because they’re ready to eat Haitians for telling the actual truth. That’s not okay.
Jacmel was also Where Simon Bolivar got financial and military help to deliver freedom to Latin America!!
Love the Haiti series you made. This is probably the best one in the Internet. Keep up the good work.
We all love it. I'm watching from West Africa. Love Haiti !!!!
Im Jamaican, but I would like to thank you for showing another side of Haiti to the world❤
You were scare to visit Haiti
Only to fall in love with Haiti now your in Haiti 😂
Haiti looks beautiful
Jacmel is the city where the Vénézuélien flag made
The fact that they havent built an international airport in Jacmel is wild 😭😭 I wouldve loved to visit this area without having to go to Port au Prince first....
I think you can fly to port au prince then get another fly to jacmel
From what I've heard Martelly wanted to build one but the senators was against it
Jacmel is not well suited for international flights. The international airport will be in Les Cayes, the largest city in the south, which is already a regional hub with its international port and a regional airport which will be upgrade soon
Jacmel and cuba used to be the biggest Caribbean destination . We used to have thousands of tourists in Jacmel and port au prince back then before they brought the democracy to us . After we had the democracy all the hotels factory went to DR instead. They brought share to all our black company and the broke them down . Like our sugar , milk , flour etc .
DR has a democracy though ?
@@egom1993 you can’t compare DR to an African country , Haiti is paying the price for making French , Spain , England loosing so much money on slavery. Therefore they have to sabotage their independence . And if Haiti is free and growing like it’s was all the African countries will trying to take their independence and that’s will crash western economies . The support DR get from the west it’s not the same it’s Haiti get , The west broke down Haitian Army and armed the young kids while they are investing in DR army . They are making Haitian leave to go to DR and for work while their business they had in Haiti they close them .
@@egom1993 For the record no African government have ever and never will have democracy because the person selling democracy is a dictator that blackmailing the country to get what they want .
@@egom1993 Always trying to find an excuse for not blaming politicians for their mismanagement, 'let's blame it on democracy instead. That's why many Haitians prefer authoritarian regimes like those in Russia, China and Venezuela.
"I wonder why they don't praise Trujillo." 🤔
That oversimplifies how the Dominican Republic became a tourist and manufacturing hub. Hotels aren’t relocated, tourists go to countries that are safe. In the same way, factories didn’t relocate to the DR, instead, new ones were established there.
I wish that this ancient town, Jacmel, could be restored back to its past glory. It looks like a really interesting place.
Merci beaucoup African Tigress for the love you have shown Haiti!! We love you immensely! Haitians and West Indians in general appreciate your contents!! You are truly a talented content creator!!
I love you my people 🇭🇹🇭🇹
The word bombo'sha, in a certain region of Haiti, specifically the artibonite region, bombo'sha is a thick cassava. and bombo'fray is a grass'hopper. bombo'she' is when you having fun. sentence example for bombo'she', you can say to lens, neg app bombo'she'- which means he's having fun@@AFRICANTIGRESS
The landscape is so similar to jamaica....but they have to be because the are located on the same under sea ridge/mountain
Jacmel is known for the city of art
You were hesitant to come to Haiti but overcame your fears. Now, you have fallen in love with the country and feel at home. It won't surprise me that you end up owning property and settling there. Thanks for wonderful videos.
I have been there in 2016, the sea is Carribean sea! Jacmel and les Cayes(okay) are in the Carribean sea.
Thanks very much African Tigress for showing this country. I now have a different view of situation
As a Haitian a absolutely love you for showing the positive side of Haiti that the western media hides
It so beautiful ❤❤❤❤love it. You are doing an excellent job showing Haiti.🇭🇹
You are destroying myths of Haiti. Great Job!!!
Jamaica and Haiti are in close proximity to each other so it may be easy for information to be coinciding? BIGUPS to Jamaica and Haiti
Exactly I love Jamaicans
"Art bienbo" means beautiful art. That's what was written on the boardwalk. African Tigress, you are indeed privileged to have seen so many beautiful places in Haiti because you are lucky to have the right Haitian friends to show you around. The other Kenyan RUclipsr Marwa visited Haiti, but he didn't see much of what Haiti had to offer. You should definitely come back to Jacmel next year for the carnival and spend 1 month. The carnival is so beautiful and around that time there are various activities going on.
Haiti use to have a vibrant tourist industry into the 80’s then it died, never to come back. I hope they can get it going again, to have the country make money. 🇯🇲🇭🇹🇰🇪❤️☮️
I don't wish for Haiti to rely excessively on tourism to make money. Over reliance on tourism in the Caribbean is why people are losing their land and access to their own beaches to foreigners.
@@BlackMoonstone531😂😂😂snap!
Tourism in Ayiti didn't die by itself. It was killed by the propaganda spread by the US about AIDS originating there.
@@BlackMoonstone531thank you.... finally someone says it. You can't ask for tourism and not accept gentrification
@@BlackMoonstone531I like that comment.
The guy speaking creole with her just like she’s Haitian that’s very funny she’s very smart
It's a reflex when somebody speaks to you in a language you don't understand you will answer or talk to them in your native language cuz these guys are trying their best to speak in English
He did say he doesn’t speak English!
This is such a beautiful video. Jacmel is a jewel with major touristic potential. This is the very first time I am seeing Jacmel. I love this video.
Whether Jamaica was first or Haiti was first, at this point. It doesn't matter. Like for once can Haiti 🇭🇹 get all the love ❤️. Lets enjoy the video.
Thanks AT im a Haitian married to a Kenyan 🇰🇪. I lived in kenya for 3 years.
That's never gonna happen jamaica is always gonna be mention in comparison to other island not by Jamaicans but by others I am black and the first thing they say ru jamaican but all matters
@@slim9978that’s not even true. Some people love the other Caribbean countries better than Jamaica and they are American themselves. I know Americans who are hooked on Haiti. Just say that is how you feel.
Very scenic, Haiti is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. I have never seen this side of Haiti. It's a pity
Jamaica was the first to get electricity it was in 1892,& Jamaica was the first to have a railroad for train
In Jamaica it was one house named Waterloo, that had electricity first, not an entire city. But Jacmel was the first City in the Caribbean to have it. Like, the entire City!
Of course, Jamaica was a British colony in 1892."
Good editing skills
No much unnecessary talking and educational
What a beautiful country !!! Wow
This is a world heritage city. Haiti is the most historical place in the entire Caribbean, and many parts of the world. It has the richest history and culture in the Caribbean, and it's almost authentic African. It produces some of the greatest architecture and art works in the Caribbean. Some of the greatest African minds were brought to Haiti from West/Central Africa. The Europeans took the he best minds from Africa... It's important to note that Toussaint Louverture came from the royal family of Benin. I would love to visit Jacmel to see the architecture and the arts of the city. I have never been Haiti, but I was introduced to Haiti through its history. One day, by God's grace, I visit Haiti. That country has so many hidden treasures. May God Almighty remembers Haiti!❤️🌹🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🕊️!
Congratulation, African Tigress on you visiting and exploring the beautiful country of Haiti. African Tigress, Jamaica got e❤lectricity before Haiti. Jamaica first place was Black River St.E😂lizabeth, then Kingston on Harbour St. In the late 1890's, Jamaica, Haiti in 1925. Keep exploring, and give us more history of the country. You need more Haitians to explore their country, and give the world a little history. African Tigress you are doing a wonderful job. Keep Up The Good Work.Blessings.
Remember, John Bookman and others came from Jamaica to help them gain their Independence. Keep Up The Good Work. Blessings.
@@GeeHodges-mm5qv Duty Boukman was a Senegambian who banished by his masters in Jamaica to Haiti as punishment. Where he then linked up with Haitian Maroons.
Big up 🆙 Love your videos from Haiti 🇭🇹 LOVE ❤️ AFRICAN TIGRESS 🇭🇹❤️🇭🇹
I love jacmel. It doesnt need much money to be fixed
Love Haiti! It’s Beautiful!
So happy youre not showing off about 'I'm in the U.S' this Miami. Some African RUclipsrs love to brag about the U.S. im so proud of you, African Tigress ❤️
Jamaica was one of the first countries to have electricity, the year 1892 just 13 years after Thomas Edison invented the light bulb 💡
Based on google African Tigress and you are both right. It' s just the semantics ; Town or City
Totally wrong@@nedybelizaire7915
Obviously, in 1892 Jamaica had electric supply only, but it was in 1893 that 2 englismen had electricity in their house in St Elizabeth
🎉🎉🎉
Continue ❤
Inspiring Africans all over the diaspora.
I learned years ago, that the town of Black River in Jamaica was the first to have electricity in the Americas, even before New York City. Not sure how to process what you’re saying here. But thanks for showing Jacmel. I am Jamaican who previously visited Haiti 8 years ago. Never reached Jacmel but it’s on my list. I’ve always wanted to return to Haiti. Nice to see you traveling there.
That what I heard also
Yes , true, 1893.
Well large scall electricity 1270 kw
In a major city in the
Carribean....
1895 Jacmel, was hydroelectric: first major city in the
As far as I know, noone had shown to the world so much of Haiti. Another guy named SeeJeanty has done a good job, but not so detailed.
Black River in Jamaica ,is the first place in the Caribbean to recieve electricity,even before New Yor City.
This is my birth place thank you for visiting my birthplace
Your home is so beautiful can’t wait to visit 😊
Thank you my African sister❤ I am a lot older than you so my fear was twice yours. Now My beloved Haiti is the first in my bucket list.
❤❤
Great stuff, very informative, inspiring, you're a brave heart!🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
The streets are always so clean…
Been to hait 3 times i always tell people in all my travels haiti has the most loving people i had ever meet, i cried when i was leavin and the my friends also cried , yes i love Haiti keep it up sister ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Untill they get to the states
Haiti use to have a vibrant tourist industry into the 80’s then it died, never to come back. I hope they can get it going again, to have the country make money. 🇯🇲🇭🇹🇰🇪❤️☮️
A vibrant tourism industry is fine as long as it remains mostly locally owned and properly regulated. Would foreigners allow that in this day and age? I don't care for the current model in the Caribbean.
@@BlackMoonstone531 💯 you said it all I don’t want it if it’s own by Chinese people. KEEP IT !
Haitian men are very sweet and romantic!💕🌍🇭🇹
Indeed 😍
They are but you have to share them with different woman 😂
Some of these guys think you're
almost in their pocket: ha,ha,
They want every womanbthey see
AT I really love your spirit! Stay real and don't change. ❤❤❤
May God bless you African Tigress I hope other African RUclipsrs doing same thing going to different parts of Haïti not just Republic of Port au Prince
AT thank you for showing the beauty of Haiti. The people there are so warm and friendly. Hope you find love there.🥰
In Jamaica it was not public electricity, but electricity to a private property, in a house named ‘Waterloo’ owned by the Leyden family. In Jacmel they are talking about public electricity, which was for residents and at town square.
Thanks for the clarity. For I was told Jamaica was the first to have electricity😊
@@melisasimms2348which it was. Do you think it stopped at that one house or spread from there?
In the town of Black River there was light. The Waterloo guest house was first.
Thank you. Understand now.😊
Thank you because I had this question.
1897
by LEONARD B. SMITH
ELECTRIC LIGHT in Curacao (Caribbean(
In 1893 Leonard B. Smith received a twenty-five year government concession to generate electricity; this resulted in the first electrical light in Curaçao by September 1897. the island was illuminated completely not long after
holding hands nice
Jacmel is very beautiful and clean! Thank you for showing us this beautiful side of Haiti👏🏿👏🏿👍🏾👌🏾
Woow that town is on point tho ancient the roads in town too
AT thanks for another awesome video keep up the good work 👍❤️
Omg when I come to Haiti Lens I want you to take me to Jacmel.
This original design was first flown on 12 March 1806, at Jacmel, Haiti, as Miranda's expedition prepared to make the final leg of its voyage to Venezuela. The flag was first flown over Venezuelan soil at La Vela de Coro,
Was it Jean Baptiste Bideau who did the negotiations on behalf of Venezuela?
Question why kenya in Haiti are there there to jelp or mak things worse
I love to travel to jackmel
It’s Caribbean music Jamaica is on the other side of the water
Haitian Gingerbread house.Gingerbread Houses are ornate turn-of-the-century buildings unique to Haiti.
A truly beautiful blue basin indeed.
I learned Jamaica was the first to have railway system but ok...that's cool stuff BIGUPS Haiti
No, please do your research. I which I could copy and paste.
African Tigress did find a Haitian boy friend. Is the boyfriend the guy holding your hand? If not show us the boy friend if you do not mind.
A lot more beautiful 🏝️ & places you could visited if the whole country was safe!
Love watching you 🥰 my sister
It's good to have in laws from Haiti
Waw that's nice waterfall 😍❤️💋
Jacmel was not the first place in Caribbean to get electric. Haiti received electric in 1896 not 1920s. Further more my little island was the first in the Caribbean to get electric. Black River St. Elizabeth Jamaica. And that was in 1893. Get your facts right if you want to inform your audience.
She did not say that Jacmel was ''the first place in the Caribbean to get electric''. She said that Jacmel was the first CITY in the Caribbean to get electricity. Electricity in Black River St Elizabeth was for the Leyden private home. Electricity in Jacmel was for the town. Get your facts right before being contrarian.
Stop lying please and thank you.
@@sinefromabovebabylon3577 Who are you directing this at?
Blackmoonstone get your facts right. Not the first private property. The first city. Y'all always wanna compete with us. Y'all want our whole history. Our food to be under. When deep down y'all know. Y'all can't cook better than us. We are the historic people long live 1804 gtfoh
I think she meant to say jacmel was first city to have public electricity to town and residents but black river was first have electricity but it was private for the wealthy
I think the claim that Jacmel was the first city with electricity is most likely unsubstantiated. The Jamaican claim makes more sense to me based on information available.
Also, they should take you to a walk around the town square- the Hotel De Ville, historic park, etc. would be there -By the way, Hotel de Ville means City Hall. It's the way they call them in France and in most former French Colonies. Th Rue du Commerce, the Jacmel Art Center, the old Port, are all part of the walking tour. Also the church is very old. they also have the formal farmer's market.
Not really, but in Jamaica and the other nations' case, they published it as "one of the first" to get electricity in the Caribbean. Ayiti just doesn't toot its own horn, but the information is generally well-known among the people that the whole city was lit up, not just one spot. Do you really believe that the first free black empire/kingdom that later became a republic would not try to advance itself while the rest of the surrounding nations were either just coming out of slavery or were still very segregated? People used to come from all around the world to attend the best theaters and dances in Ayiti. Jean-Baptiste Point du Sable, the entrepreneur, built the first settlement in Chicago and it was attributed to someone else. England said it was the first to abolish slavery until that was debunked. The colonizers even tried to say that they built Citadel LaFerriere instead of King Henri Christophe. There is a lot of propaganda against Ayiti for a reason. If they can't lie about it, they just hide it.
Jacmel Haiti is the first city to have electricity. Know your history 🙄
Hey gama we don't wanna here no one from France opinions. Go the French media and tell them to give Haiti back that money they extorted from us. 500 million euros Should cover parts of our suffering. Of course the Jamaican part would make more since to you. Y'all don't really like us remember. Some Haitian will forget. But I'll never. Stay out of Haiti business b4 we put voodoo on you on soul😂😂😂😂

Estoy viviendo en la república dominicana pero sali alla❤❤❤❤ jamel
Thanks u again for showing jacmel place I love ❤️ ❤my beautiful
I'm sorry the guide can't be a Jacmelian. I mean, he is not from Jacmel. He is obviously and certainly not. He does not know the city. He could not explain anything. He did not show the key places in the neighborhood. Besides that, Jacmel is a lot more than this little neighborhood. The guy passed less than a hundred meters of a landmark of Jacmel, of Haitian architecture, He does not know that. He did not go to "Rue du Commerce ", the most famous street in Jacmel that is next to "Rue Saint-Anne", the one he chose to walk in to go back to "Lakou New York" (whose real name is " Congo Plage"). That's too bad. African Tigress, thank you for showing the hidden side of the actual Haiti. But please, next time you go to Jacmel, ask for someone who knows the city, its architecture, its history, and its importance as a power in Haitian culture. Last but not least, since you speak English, ask for someone who understands English, and is able, at least to speak it a little.
Electricity in Trinidad was In March 1895, according to a search. Electricity was installed for the first time in Trinidad. The Original Queen's Park Hotel and the Princess Building were the first two of the first buildings to have electric lights. The first street lights were installed on March 5th, 1895. Note electricity was introduced by the colonial powers at the time. The people on the ground . . . the villages got electricity around Independence in 1962.
Jacmel is beautiful with a rich history. Thanks for showcasing Haiti. I will definitely put it on my travel agenda the next time I travel. Thanks AT.
Yes but she said first CITY. I think you’re talking about buildings.
They're talking about city. Please be respectful and dO your research
A quick Google search proved quite confusing. One source claims Jamaica was the first to have electricity, even before the US where electricity was "invented." I would have to do further research before posting anything.
@@mcs0519 I was not answering her question . . .I was just asserting what I searched and found on Trinidad. It also was not in response to any body. I was simply sharing . . .The both building are located in Port-of-Spain and are located quite close to each other; and I gather if the buildings had electricity, that will indicate that Port-Of-Spain, the city in which they are located also had electricity.
@@sinefromabovebabylon3577 I don't know who you are but I gather you are an academic of sorts or an authority on historical facts of the Caribbean and or Colonized communities in the Caribbean. Maybe if you shared your name, I could address you as such. my comment on electricity and Trinidad was not in response to any questions posed by anyone. I simple added what I researched and found about Trinidad. Simple that. .I rarely respond to individuals without a name and have a number added #3577
Very nice town with tons of potential.
African Tigress, thank you❤
NEXT Time You Should visit my town Jeremie n Grand-Anse as far as the to title goes IM Voted for BoB Haiti Rasta n helping with the land and do some 🧺🧺🧺 Farming 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ Neve rmind
SO BEAUTIFUL THANKS FOR SHARING AT
In 1892 Jamaica had electricity from a plant at Gold Street in Kingston
In 1893 there was electricity in Black river Jamaica
I Heard they saying it was one house in Jamaica that had electricity haiti electricity was in 1896 and it was all over jacmel
African Tigress that is the Caribbean Sea. Haiti is about ninety miles from Jamaica. Keep Up The Good Work. Blessings.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤so nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jacmel got electricity in 1895 (not 1925).
Ohh no you didnt get to see commerce street... its the most photographed street in jacmel. Im confused why the guys didnt show you it. It was just one block away from the streets you were on.
So beautiful and relaxing, thank you for sharing ❤
Where is everybody, nobody's walking on the street . It's so quiet
They at the beach😂
Watching from USA 🇺🇸
That guy who wants to be your boyfriend is so handsome 😎
Great video
Haiti is absolute beautiful, what a gem 💎 😍 💖
It is really a poor place. Everything is falling in ruin in the Jacmel.
Dominican Republic got electricity way before 1925
Great choice of song AT
Based on your question in the video, I checked and find JACMEL to be on the coast of the Caribbean Sea.
Haiti was the first carribean to have a railway system in 1876.
Jamaica railroad was the first in the caribbean
Black River in St Elizabeth, jamaica got electricity in 1892
JahJah bless our African Tigress and her family and friends. 🧡
Thank you for your support and insights
