IT's the decision that MOST BANDS hope that they DON'T have to MAKE or TAKE. YO YOUN PA VLE AFFICHE YO....unless they have a SOLID connection/affiliation. If it was up to the bands, as long as the conditions and $$$ are right, they would be more than happy to do a kanaval in OKAY one week, and do another one in the capital P.A.U.P another week. That would be IDEAL for them, and it also would avoid them HAVING TO MAKE A CHOICE/DECISION that MIGHT HAVE AN IMPACT in a few areas for them when it comes to kanaval.

There are PROS and CONS for both sides...but UNLESS SOME SORT OF SOLUTION IS REACHED where both kanavals DON'T have to happen in the same weekend; it looks like the bands WILL HAVE TO CROSS THAT BRIDGE eventually and make a decision that will most likely make one CITY/SIDE HAPPY; and another CITY/SIDE UPSET.

There are things that the bands will have to put on the table such as if they decide to go AGAINST such and such...WHAT WILL BE THE FUTURE CONSEQUENCES? Another thing that will come into play are THE SPONSORS and WHERE they THINK or FEEL that their BRAND will be best served being advertised by the bands that they are sponsoring. What happens if 2 MAIN SPONSORS FOR 1 BAND have DIFFERENT OPINIONS in terms of WHERE they want the band to be? Does that mean that the sponsor $$$$$$ might be in jeopardy as well?

One musician of a KEY/POPULAR kanaval band told me last week straight up and I quote "SPONSOR KI BANM PLUS LAJAN AN...KOTE LI DI POU JAZ MWEN AN YE A....SE LA JAZ MWEN AN AP YE. MWEN PAP RANTRE NAN OKUN LOT DOSSIER KAP JERE."

The days and countdown is ON....the clock is ticking....WILL THERE BE A SOLUTION REACHED? Will someone blink? Will everyone come together for the greater good....or will we see certain bands in 1 kanaval, and others at the other kanaval.....or will some of the BIG DOGS have the "GNB" to take a decision and say NO to both? The scenario is set....LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

DECISIONS....DECISIONS....DECISIONS! $$$$$$$$

KM!

This is really sad. Neg yo paka antan'n yo sou sa epi yo bezwen jere youn peyi. Le pays reste & demeure dans la crise.
