Ranpono | Sydney Guillaume
Ranpono is a rhythmic and energetic piece reflecting the cooperation and motivation of workers during the Haitian Ranpono. The text portrays laborers gathering before sunrise to accomplish community tasks. As the day moves along, they encourage each other to work toward completion. The final section is marked by a jubilant declaration of the day’s end that reflects the true meaning of community. “Truly indeed, Ranpono brings life! With many hands the load is light.”
