Band Geeks From Hell - Playlist for Duke Amduscias

When I saw that Duke Amduscias' sigil was a trumpet, I just knew I had to throw together a playlist, being a fan of just about every from of trumpet music I've ever heard. I have a lot more of these kinds of songs, but these are a good sample.

"Amdusias is associated with thunder and it has been said that his voice is heard during storms. In other sources, he is accompanied by the sound of trumpets when he comes and will give concerts if commanded, but while all his types of musical instruments can be heard they cannot be seen.

He is regarded as being the demon in charge of the cacophonous music that is played in Hell. He can make trees bend at will."

Compas Direct - pronounced CON'PA (Konpa)

📽 Ministre de la Culture (Haiti)

Haitian "Konpa" is properly written as "COMPAS DIRECT" and not "KOMPA." 😏

Please apologize for any confusion caused by the incorrect term and spread the word. 😄

No one would accept Soka, Salssah or Ragey, so why can't Haitians teach the world how to get it right?

Just as terms like "Soca," "Salsa," and "Reggae" are universally recognized and pronounced correctly, Haitians have the opportunity to share their cultural heritage and teach the world how to pronounce "Compas Direct" accurately. By embracing and promoting their music and culture, Haitians can play a crucial role in ensuring that their traditions are respected and understood globally.

Even if writing it properly is too difficult for you, you can at least write it in proper Haitian Kreyol.

Just imagine what it would feel like to accept a diploma or an award, only to find out that your name is spelled incorrectly on it. Then, imagine the institution dismissing it with a casual "oops, too bad, close enough!" Would that be acceptable to you? Would you still want to proudly display it despite the mistake?

No, it wouldn't be okay to accept a diploma or an award with an incorrectly spelled name. It's important to have accurate and properly spelled information on such documents. Displaying an incorrectly spelled name may not accurately represent your achievements and could lead to confusion or misunderstandings.

_________

We can compromise.

Compas Direct (Formally ) Compas, Compas love, Compas Y2K, Compas 2000, World Beat Compas, etc or

Konpa Dirèk, or Konpa when speaking Kreyòl

But let's leave "Kompa" for Kompa Magazine. Respectfully 💙❤🙏🏼

It's January 1st, ⛓️ Haitian Independence Day. France had ruled the colony of Saint-Domingue as part of its worldwide empire since 1659. However, in 1791, a group of enslaved Africans, inspired by the American and French Revolutions, began an epic struggle for freedom that culminated in victory and a declaration of independence on this day in 1804. The declaration proclaimed that the new republic would forever after be known by the same name it was known as before the Europeans had arrived – "Haiti," which means "High Land" in the Native American Taino language. 

The Haitian Revolution is Haiti's defining moment. It was the largest slave uprising since Spartacus' unsuccessful revolt against the Romans in 72 BCE. Haiti's victory came as a total surprise and shock to the rest of the world and inspired countless other slave revolts throughout the Western Hemisphere. It also paved the way for the termination of the transatlantic slave trade. This victory was also the final nail in the coffin of Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambitions for a New World French Empire. He’d sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States the previous year in part to pay for the defeat of the revolt in Saint-Domingue. That was not to be. Haiti became the first independent state in Latin America and the first in the New World to be led by a person of color. 

The victory over France put an end to Haiti's military fight for freedom, but not its political fight. The US and most European nations, including France, didn't immediately recognize Haiti's independence. France didn't officially do so until 1825. The US didn't do so until 1862. That doesn’t matter, though. All that matters is Haiti. The Haitians recognized their own independence on this day in 1804 and have continued to do so every day since. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
