Familiar Sounds

There are sounds all around a neighborhood. Some sounds are more familiar, though.

Haitian people who move to Little Haiti agree. The sounds you hear in Little Haiti are like the sounds you hear in Haiti. Walk into a shop and hear people speak Haitian Creole and French. Listen to the compas music. Sway to the strong beat.

Familiar sounds can make a new place feel like home.

Thousands of Haitians moved to Miami, Florida, in the 1980s. They formed a neighborhood called Little Haiti. Dancers move to the music at a street market.
