Cabane Choucoune
Cabaret and thatch-roofed club in Pétion-Ville, Haiti From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cabane Choucoune is a cabaret and thatch-roofed club in Pétion-Ville, Haiti.[1][2] It was built on 8 December 1940 by Max Ewald.[3] It is known as one of the best méringue dance clubs.[1] Historically, it has featured Haitian artists such as Nemours Jean-Baptiste as well as international entertainers.[4]
The construction appears like an inverted ice cream cone, that is high-peaked with a thatched cupola on top. From a distance, it resembles a chief's African jungle hut.[5]
It is located about 500 m (1,600 ft) up the mountains behind Port-au-Prince, in Pétion-Ville, home to the country's elite.[6]
