On 12 January, 2010 a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, causing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Early reports suggest that as many as 50,000 people are feared dead, with many more people injured, displaced and at risk.

"The situation is chaotic. I visited five medical centres, including a major hospital, and most of them were not functioning. I saw a distressing number of dead bodies. People have gathered outside, lighting fires in the street and trying to help and comfort each other. When they saw that I was from MSF they were asking for help, particularly to treat their wounded."  Stefano Zannini, MSF head of mission

The Rough Guide To The Music Of Haiti

The Rough Guide To The Music Of Haiti Various (Rough Guide, RGNET1067) BBC Radio 3's Andy Kershaw's love affair with Haiti treats us to The Rough Guide To The Music Of Haiti, taking in over fifty years of musical diversity from this unique Caribbean republic; once the "Pearl Of The Antilles", now the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Haiti's vibrant music reflects its African roots driven by the rhythms of voodoo while building on this foundation with merengue from the Dominican Republic, French quadrilles and contradanses, Cuban son, American jazz, soul, funk and rap.
