Ayiti Cheri

"Ha ti Ch rie" ("Beloved Haiti") is a traditional patriotic song of Haiti, which was based on a poem written by Othello Bayard. It was initially called Souvenir d'Ha ti ("Memory of Haiti"), and was composed to music in 1925. It is widely considered as a second national anthem, and one of Haiti's most famous m ringues.
