Summary Google translated from Haitian Creole to English:
"Panama Mwen Tombé" is a Haitian folkloric song. A hat (Panama) that falls brings bad luck, according to a legend. The proof: shortly before succumbing to a heart attack, the president of Haiti Louis Modestin Florvil Hyppolite (1828 - 1896) had to go to Jacmel to quell an insurrection.

@ninpobudo3876 One of the first Carnivals first held in America was in 1699 was near New Orleans not Mississippi and it is not the same Mardi Gras practiced today. Mardi Gras was banned in Louisiana until 1812. That is after, 1803 what you say is when Haitians migrated to Louisiana even though it was 1791. French owned Black slaves were brought to French owned Islands in The Caribbean like Saint-Domingue before being brought to Louisiana. Classic New Orleans tune called "Iko Iko" created in The 1950s has roots to Haitian culture and sounds very similar to a Haitian children’s song called "Panama M Tombe."...
