Steve Azor
A.K.A Mr. Deploge
The man behind
AYITI DEPLOGE
WHO is
AYITI DEPLOGE?
It began simply with a small idea, in one small island, and in one small club! Founder, Steve Azor, of Brothers Dred Production, had a vision. His mission was simply for you to see and hear Haiti the way he sees and hears Haiti. Along with the help of his supporting Production crew, many more began to see a new portrait of Haiti and hear a new sound. A natural predisposed Haiti is being reinvented - AYITI DEPLOGE - a professionally experienced production company working diligently and ambitiously to bring one idea to life. AYITI DEPLOGE is simply Haiti, the audience, their reactions and interactions, the artists raw and uncut, together both delivering a new promising sound.
Music is a universal language. One that speaks and translates directly to the hearts of many. Our mission is to give Haiti a voice that speaks abroad, bridging the gap of what once was and has yet to become.

AYITI = HAITI
DEPLOGE = Unplugged
Haiti Unplugged is defined as an artist in a new and rare form. Unrehearsed, relaxed, up-close-and-personal creativity developed right before a live audience! AYITI DEPLOGE is an impromptu jam session.
 AYITI DEPLOGE is an impromptu jam session. There's no full band, no rehearsed stage show, but a free styled one of a kind performance. It is not a singing contest. The artists are only competing with themselves. It is not a club, so the artist doesn't have to worry about making you dance. All of this allows for a better choice in song selections. It is a collage of music and culture reminiscent of Haitian rhythms historically grounded in its roots from Ras�n to Konpa music. It's a unique and unrehearsed, natural blend of acoustic sounds and vocals mixed with seasoned artist and fresh new rising talent. AYITI DEPLOGE is simply a new recipe of Haitian flavor perfectly spiced to balance a universal palate of the old and the new. From Konpa and Ras�n to Jazz, Spoken Word, and Rap Kr�yol.
 AYITI DEPLOGE is not just a musical show but it is a musical experience! No one show is ever the same. Filmed every Wednesday at various clubs in Haiti such as: Press Caf�, The Garage, Spirit Club, Muncheez, Barak, and Le Villate, our hope is to showcase some of Haiti's beautiful establishments that offer dinner, dancing and livelihood, as well as undiscovered talent most have yet to see. So rich in potential, so filled with ambition.

Energy was through the roof at Sob's
Machel
Montano talked about Haiti and even spoke some creole words. "Eske nou
pare?" Are you ready? We couldn't be ready to absorb all the yoyo
bouncing, the hip winding and the flag waving that we were about to witness. It was just a big happy Caribbean family-style party.
It was a Thursday night and most of us had to go to work the next day. WMP
was only planning to stay for a little while to cover the event. Well, it
didn't turn out so. At a certain point we were no longer covering the event;
we were part of the party--dancing, jumping and basking in the pride of being from
the Caribbean.

1ST ANNUAL
HAITIAN MUSIC AWARDS
TO TAKE OVER NEW YORK
New York, N.Y., December 4, 2008 - Compas on Broadway (COB) held an exclusive press event on Friday, November 28th to announce the upcoming 1 st Annual Haitian Music Awards to be held in New York City on Easter weekend 2009. Urbain Richard Executive Producer of the Haitian Academy of the Performing Arts (HAPA) and COB staff invited 200 guests - music artists, music industry professionals and press to the Holiday Inn in Jamaica, New York to officially announce the event.
Upon entering the Holiday Inn ballroom one could sense that it was going to be an evening of significant magnitude for the Haitian Music
Industry (HMI). With great anticipation, attendees came to hear and
support a dream in the making; the dream of taking Compas music to the
prestigious Avery Fisher Hall at New York's Lincoln Center. During the course of the evening, guests were given a taste of Compas music at its best with live performances by Tempo, Harmonik, and Bono from Chale Mizik accompanied by Claude Cajuste, and Polo of 1st Klass.
Artists such as Ti Joe Zenni of Kreyol La, Mickael Guirand
of Carimi, L2, Lolo and Manze of Boukman Ekperyans took the stage to
share the significance of Compas music but also to support and applaud
the initiative that Compas on Broadway has taken to ensure that this
genre of music receives the industry accolades that it truly deserves.
Compas on Broadway's press party was a true display of the multitude of styles that Compas music offers. M
any artists expressed the importance of COB and their beliefs that the event will have a positive impact on the nation of Haiti.
The inaugural event will pay homage to the pioneer and founder of
'Compas Direct', Mr. Nemours Jean-Baptiste. If the press party was any
indication, you do not want to miss April 12, 2009 at Avery Fisher Hall
at the Lincoln Center.
About the Haitian Academy for the Performing Arts (HAPA)
The
HAPA's mission is to recognize Haitians for their contributions in the
production and promotion of music, film, and dance.

Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre Is Closing!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COMMUNITY ALERT and A CALL TO ACTION:
LEGENDARY MULTI-CULTURAL DANCE SCHOOL CLOSING!
Press Contact:

Djoniba Dance and Drum Centre
37 East 18th Street 7th Floor
New York, NY 10003
Tel: 212 477-3464
www.djoniba.com
December 19th, 2008, Manhattan, NY.-Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre, the legendary New York City multi-ethnic dance school and not-for-profit organization, is closing its doors on December 31st 2008 after 15 years of "exceptional contributions to our city", (the council of NYC). Hit by the economic crisis -- with fewer students attending classes -- and a major rent increase, DDDC has no other option but to sadly shut down. The immediate result would be 55 teachers and drummers losing their jobs.
Hundreds of children from lower income families losing the opportunity to receive free dance scholarships, along with thousands of adult students losing their community workout, a place to release stress and convene "Since its establishment, Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre-one of New York City's largest minority-owned cultural centers- has dedicated itself to connecting men and women of all ages and ethnicities through the arts. In a letter of June 2007, Mayor Bloomberg wrote, "As we look back on the incredible accomplishments of DDDC's 15 years, we also look forward to even greater achievements on the horizon." "I am confident that the New York community and government officials, who understand the profound impact that our philosophy and ethnic dance taught in our institution has on so many lives, will rally up and help us continue our mission of providing health, fitness, and harmony amongst New Yorkers" says the founder Djoniba Mouflet.
DDDC needs funds for a new home and is urgently seeking aid. You can make donations on line at www.djoniba.com or by mail. Contributions will allow for construction, fundraising, architectural design, web design, building materials, office furniture and equipment, Who knows how long this economic climate will last -but what kind of city will be left when it's over, if we allow our community owned cultural institutions to close?
About Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre

Stringer, as well as NY State Assembly N. Godfrey for its outstanding service to the NY community. "I applaud Djoniba Dance & Drum Centre for your strong commitment to the culture and community."
