N’écoutez pas la musique des noirs. De-Archiving the Sounds of Haiti

This zine combines essays, archival material, music, and critical analysis in a work that invites readers to dive into the songs and historical processes of Haiti. From Toto Bissainthe to Leyla McCalla, this project by Sarah Ardite, Anabel de la Paz, and Ricardo Duque encourages us to rethink sound as a political and philosophical tool. With a handcrafted design using photocopies and special papers, it’s part of the Músicas Sospechosas collection and can be found in bookstores, cultural centers, and libraries across several countries. More than just a zine, this archive is a tool for connecting Haiti’s past and present through a critical lens—inviting readers to become active participants in its history through musical experience.
