I believe this is an unprecedented event by the Haitian community in this city. Time has finally come for our generation, to stand up and be counted as an ethnic force and an asset in the city of Philadelphia.
On behalf of the Haitian Community, I want to congratulate HCHC and fellow singer Emmanuel Polection, for their undying effort in bringing talented haitians artists to the forefront and in being our voice in this city.
This is a simply exciting event! I am with you Henry I also cannot wait I am coming from Connecticut to take part in this
Wow keep up the good work!
This is a good way to share the word of God with everyone.
I am so proud of you my
It is really a great to let others know about our Haitian gospel artist, I command you guys on that. However, I was wondering if Evangel Band is a nominee at the award or will they be performing there.
They just received the HaiMusic award for best gospel Artist.
