What I love about your videos on this channel is that every episode brings me back home to Haiti. I left Haiti at the age of 8 and only been back twice due to political issues but my heart hurts at the idea that it’s been so long since I’ve touched the land of my birth. This video took me back to the village I grew up in and would these two elderly women would sing night and day. Please keep Ras Kitchen going for as long as you are able because to some of us this is a pleasant trip home. Thank you 🙏
