Haiti fans pick up the beat as 52-year World Cup hoodoo ends

BOSTON: Haiti fans ‌brought their Carnival groove to downtown Boston on Saturday ahead of their team’s first World Cup match since 1974, competing with the bagpipes of Scotland’s Tartan Army which has set up camp in the city. A traditional rara band of bamboo trumpeters and thumping percussion players struck up a beat in Copley Square in the center of Boston, home to the third-biggest Haitian community in the United States. “We’re going to pull it off tonight, no disrespect,” yelled Lovely Patrick, leaping around in excitement.
