📜 VODOURAP MANIFESTO
Movement created: November 18, 2024
Official launch: April 24, 2025
Manifesto written: August 28, 2025
A movement. A memory. An acclamation.

VodouRap is not just music. It is a cultural movement that ties the roots of hip-hop with the sacred heritage of the Haitian people.

It is the marriage of modernity and tradition, where spirituality meets creativity, where living words and rhythms make the earth tremble.
We use beats, words, and presence to tell our lives, our history, and our faith without losing what makes us who we are.

We proclaim loudly:
As Haitians, we have the right to live, to express ourselves, and to walk the journey of life without having our roots erased.

🔥 VodouRap is not only music:

✅ It is an Acclamation.
✅ It is a Claim.
✅ It is Resistance
✅ It is a Reconnection with our roots.

🎯 Our Mission

 Reclaim Our Identity
We are Haitian. We are not imitation. We shine light on our values and traditions, and we make them glow through art.

Honor Our Ancestors
Every word, every beat, every movement is a dialogue with the ancestors. Without them, there is no us.

Educate the Youth
We use music and lyrics to open the minds of the coming generation.
We don’t just sing to make people dance; we sing to build.

Fight Stigmas While Entertaining
We change the narrative about Vodou, about Haiti, and about our people.
We break prejudices while making people dance, nod their heads, and reflect.

🌍 Our Vision
VodouRap aims to build an international platform for Haitian music and culture.
We will create festivals, workshops, and training spaces for the youth.
 We believe in the creative economy as a tool for community development, and we aim to bring VodouRap to the global stage so Haiti shines as a light, not as a shadow.

VodouRap brings forth the light of Vodou as inspiration, not exclusion.
It is a source of strength, walking with balance, order, and harmony.
