The 17th edition of the international PapJazz festival took place in Port-au-Prince. The musical gathering brought together around twenty bands and more than 6,000 attendees.

The country experienced a kind of oasis of sounds brought from a dozen countries around the world. “Music has always known how to console,” said the Minister of Culture Emmelie Prophète. The national police, the tourist police and the private security hired by the festival escorted the more than 20 attending bands from the moment they landed.
