L'union Fait La Force is the motto that all Haitians live by. It is our well being. It is our sense of identity; our sense of pride. But the thing that many Haitians seem to forget a lot of times is that this motto should not only apply to Haitians.

On Thursday December 1st, the Haitian students Association of Kean University proved that to be true, by bringing together a plethora of different students from all over the world to celebrate a piece of Haitian Culture through our popular music genre, Compas.

ZIN, although only 3 letters was a whole lot of talk that night in Downs Hall. The music played, the heat blasted, the ladies screamed as lead singer Allen Cave and ZIN serenaded to an almost sold out crowd while playing some of their very popular hit songs.

Bringing ZIN to Kean University was not an easy task to come by. The dream team, also know as the E-board led by president Muriam Albert along with the general student organization, and other student groups worked really hard to bring this band on campus.
" it was a challenge to bring a live band on the university campus for the first time in Kean University history," said Albert.

Looking out into the audience everyone there had a very good time. Most importantly, it was indeed a huge victory for HAS ( Haitian students association), and all Haitian students at Kean university to have for the first time in history a live Haitian band play at school campus. It was also very significant to see people of other cultures dancing and having a good time. This event and others like it truly exemplifies the true meaning of " L'union Fait La Force".
