Preparations are well underway for the organization of the funeral of André Dadou Pasquet, who passed away on Sunday, November 23.
Ravaged by cancer and other illnesses he bravely endured, the artist succumbed despite medical care and a cessation of all his activities.
The news announcing the organization of his funeral was confirmed by cultural operator Berthony Raphaël, who worked alongside Dadou for the past fifteen years.
Well-known in the community, the highly reputed operator spoke early this Tuesday on the show Matin Caraïbe, where he took the necessary care and time to retrace the artist's journey, presenting him as a symbol of pride, and also an upright person who fought body and soul for the promotion of Haitian culture.
Having passed away in Florida, United States of America, André Dadou Pasquet's family, his immediate collaborators, fellow musicians, the press, and all other friends will be able to pay him a final tribute to bid him farewell.
Also, a whole series of activities is planned both in Haiti and in the diaspora, said Berthony Raphaël, who in his intervention insisted on the need to organize a dignified funeral in honor and memory of André Dadou Pasquet, who marked several generations, both through his successful compositions, his collaborations with artists from the region and elsewhere, his performances, and also his generosity and his attachment to Haiti, his native land.
As a prelude to the funeral ceremony, the family will host a highly symbolic commemorative activity on Friday evening.
