The City Of North Miami Shows Apreciation For Haitian Talent

Last night, at the North Miami Performing Arts Theatre, it was more than just the Miami Premiere of the movie The Innocent Victim, it was a talent show and an award ceremony. Many recognition awards were handed out by Haitian-American officials from the City of North Miami Beach, we all witnessed Haitian Rock-and-Roller ALAYE smash yet another guitar, that was fun... And everyone in attendance had a wonderful time.

Great performances by our young Haitian talents

The evening was hosted by the great Bob Lemoine. I didn't know he was also a comedian but Bob Lemoine has some good jokes...
