Gérald Merceron présente à Jean Dominique sa composition musicale inspirée par le roman « Dézafi » de Frankétienne. Le morceau fut écrit pour être chanté, mais comme il n'a pas encore trouvé la bonne voix, Amos Coulanges l'a adapté pour guitare. Merceron et Dominique parlent de la musique haïtienne, notamment de la musique traditionnelle, de la musique artistique versus la musique populaire, de la musique vaudou, de la musique des villes et de celle des campagnes, de l'histoire de la production musicale, ainsi que de l'improvisation musicale à Haïti et plus généralement dans la cadre de la diaspora africaine.
Gérald Merceron pale avèk Jean Dominique sou yon pyès mizikal li te konpoze ki jwenn enspirasyon li nan « Dezafi », woman Frankétienne nan. Merceron ekri mizik la pou vwa, men li poko jwenn yon moun pou chante l kòmsadwa, donk Amos Coulanges entèprete li pou gita. Merceron ak Dominique pale sou mizik ayisyen: mizik tradisyonèl, mizik popilè ak mizik savant, chante Vodou, mizik lavil ak mizik andeyò, ak istwa pwodiksyon mizikal an Ayiti, ak sou enpwovizasyon mizikal an Ayiti ak nan dyaspora afriken an jeneral.
Gérald Merceron discusses with Jean Dominique his musical composition inspired by Franktiétienne's DEZAFI. It was written for voice, but he has not yet found the right singer, so Amos Coulanges has adapted it for guitar. Merceron and Dominique then discuss Haitian music, including traditional music, popular music versus art music, Vodou music, music of the city and of the countryside, and the history of music production, as well as musical improvisation in Haiti and more broadly in the African diaspora.
