A shockwave is tearing through the Haitian music community and the diaspora.
Dadou Pasquet, one of the eminent Haitian guitarists and composers, a pillar of the modern music scene, has passed away. This announcement follows a serious illness about which his family had briefly informed the public, calling for respect and discretion.
The news, confirmed by sources close to the family, brings a tragic end to the concern that had lingered since the announcement a few weeks ago of his temporary step back for health reasons. At the time, an official statement published on his social networks mentioned a serious health ordeal that was keeping him away from the stage and his audience.
The sudden absence of Dadou Pasquet, whose life was set to the rhythm of his guitar chords, had not gone unnoticed. His fans, accustomed to his regular presence and communicative energy, wondered with growing anxiety about this unusual silence. The family, in their first communication, had thanked the public for their support and compassion, while imploring respect for the artist’s privacy.
