A final tribute to the singer and drummer Azor

Under a blazing sun, in the presence of several hundred people gathered at the Champ de Mars, was celebrated the funeral of Azor. President Michel Martelly and his wife have raised posthumously to the rank of Fortune Lenord "Knight of the National Order of Honor and Merit".

Fred Paul, a Haitian music promoter, has in his address said that "Azor was a man of character who respected his talent and his country."

"The famous drummer always said, death is long and life is short," reported one member who wished to be remembered long after the deceased's death as is the case for Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the one of the founding fathers of the Haitian nation.

"In his play the drum, Azor hustled down the barriers of language," said the ambassador for his part of Haiti in Japan Marcel Duret also claiming a pension for Lenord Fortune and his family.

Ambassador Duret was that which allowed the player to make the first shot in the rising sun. He also shared a list of ideas that the drummer had to submit to the President Martelly.

The time of testimony is complete, up to voodoo religious ceremony during which the "national Ati", Max Beauvoir, and other houngans (voodoo priests) and mambos (priestess of voodoo) sang hymns for funeral, they say, Azor support in the other world "under water".

The ceremony ends with several sacred compositions of the late singer who introduced the music voodoo around the world under the watchful eyes of the spectators who also participate in the "funeral dance".

Several people came into trance (possessed by voodoo spirits, or loas) when they sprayed the crowd with rum, found Haiti Press Network.
