Little Haiti Book Fair this Memorial Day Weekend
May is Haitian Heritage Month, and Miami Book Fair has partnered with Sosyete Koukouy to present the Little Haiti Book Festival. Miami is home to the largest population of Haitians and Haitian Americans outside of Haiti. A wide variety of cultural, literary and children's activities are planned for the one-and-a-half-day festival. Roundtable discussions and author presentations in Creole will be simultaneously translated into English. We hope you'll join us in Little Haiti!

Alan Lomax made it his lifelong mission to archive and share traditional music from around the world. He spent decades in the field, recording heralded artists like Muddy Waters and Woody Guthrie, as well as far more obscure musicians, from the British Isles to Haiti. He also created systems to classify this music and explore the links between cultures.
