It is with regret that Pradel Henriquez, the Minister of Culture learned of the death on January 13, 2021, of Maestro Joseph Hans Peters, guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer.

"The name of Hans Peters appears in the gallery of creators who care about quality music, both melodically, lyrically, and harmonically.

We will always remember the American Airlines contest of the post 86 period and we will not cease to be grateful to Hans Peters for his favorite song 'Lavi se yon eskalye'.

He is a great, wise and discreet musician who this week has chosen to take the last step of the staircase of life ...

Minister Henriquez expresses his sympathies to his family, his relatives as well as his fans and all those who are distressed by this departure.

Sympathy to all our musicians.

Have a nice trip to you, Hans Peters.

Pradel Henriquez, Minister"
