The UNSRC Aux Antilles Club was founded in 1990 by U.N. Haitian staff members who wanted to share their culture and that of other Caribbean countries with others.  Since its existence, the Club has showcased countless talents from Haiti as well as from other countries.  It has also been very present in helping raise funds for Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and recently for Japan.  This gala is yet another event that the Club is organizing.

Tabou Combo .  Tabou Combo is Haiti’s most famous group.  For over 30 years, they have toured worldwide and are celebrated as the “Ambassadors of Kompa” – the popular Haitian dance rhythm sung in French, English, Spanish and Creole.  Tabou Combo’s music is aimed squarely at the dance floor – mixing Haitian Meringue, Rara ( vodoun percussion) with Kompa and elements of Brazilian music, Soukous and Funk.  Their phenomenal popularity has given them an important standing in Haitian society and they use their lyrics to defend the poor people in their songs.

The gala is in support of Uni Haiti Phase 1 - the reconstruction of the sanitation facilities of l’Ecole la Rédemption , Uni Haiti’s partner school, in Léogâne, Haiti.
