When the Drum Is Beating plot

Haiti was once a rich, prosperous country; the pearl of the Caribbean. Now it is one of the poorest in the world. The band Septentrional, Haiti's national pride for over sixty years, makes life a bit more bearable. The music, a mixture of Cuban Big Band and Haitian Voodoo, is rousing and swinging, the lyrics fall into the category of daily suffering.Whoever dances and sings, forgets poverty and unemployment and leaves the unprecedented tragic and violent history of the country for a while. for what it is. Haiti has been fighting day in and day out for hundreds of years.
