Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The title of this album means, simply, "listen".
These singers have all studied music to university level, and their complex polyphony has a festive, feline delicacy. They sing in Creole, Cuba's second language, and their repertoire reflects the cultural richness of their heritage. The slave trade was only the first impetus for their immigration – the latest was Papa Doc's tyranny in Haiti. They've done tours there after the earthquake, and they tour to Britain. Pending their next visit, listen.
