LUMANE CASIMIR" 

Lumane Casimir was born in Gros Mornes, a small town in Gonaives. By all accounts, she was very attractive. She moved to Port-au-Prince by herself when she was 14 years old--well, she was accompanied by her guitar. When she became popular as a singer, she went on a musical tour in Cuba, United States and Canada. During such tour, in cuba particularly, she met an admirer. The two had a sexual affair, which resulted in Lumane being pregnant. Unfortunately, the baby died five days after being born. Lumane, reportedly didn't leave behind any child. Lumane married to a Marines officer that worked at the naval base in Bizoton. That's when Haiti used to have a Marines force. It is also rumored that Lumane had a romantic relationship with a guy named Roro--the man she used to practice with. Then suddenly in 1951, Lumane withdrew herself from all public appearances. At the time, rumor had it that she was heavily involved with alcohol and drugs and that she was unable to perform. The truth of the matter, however, is that the singer was seriously sick--so sick that she couldn't sing nor perform. She later was diagnosed with blood cancer. When the Haitian government knew about Lumane's condition, they assigned a nurse to her and provided her with a monthly allowance of $1,200. Unfortunately, Lumane succumbed to the disease exactly four years after her withdrawal from the public. Due to a bad weather and heavy rains, just a handful of people presented to her funeral service. In the song dedicated to Lumane Casimir, it says that the people that she was close to didn't pay her their respect. It is true to a certain extent. However, it was because of the bad weather, as already explained. Lumane was liked and admired by many of her contemporaries. Many people would have been pleased to go to her funeral service. Lumane Casimir died in 1955 at 35 years of age. Unfortunately, most of her works have been lost. Not even a good picture of her can be found. Thanks for reading.

This song makes me feel joyful, boy do i wish i lived through those times in Haiti 🇭🇹

🏳️‍🌈🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 hey miss lumane you paved the way for a lot of people. In which who had no voice

Great Haitian singer, unfortunately not taught in Haitian high schools as part of this country history !

I love Lumane Casimir,

Wow this is for the first time in my life I get a chance to see Lumane. Wow songs like that gave a big push to our haitian music. Her voice and her singing style are immortal. If someone is not appreciative enough to see that, I feel sorry, cause they must be blind our stupid.

This beautiful MUSIC STYLE that the great Lumane Casimir performed so graciously is called MERINGUE, the original music of Haiti. This tune is a SLOW MERINGUE.

great women who will forever capture my heart its sad that she is not name as one of the greatest haitian ever lived
