NEW YORK, July 8 (Reuters) - At Radio Soleil, the usual playlist of pulsing Haitian compas dance music has been replaced this week with more somber tunes and political analysis as listeners across the diaspora reel from the shock of Haiti President Jovenel Moise s assassination.

Many of Dupuy s listeners were among the waves of Haitians who fled a country long plagued by the legacy of colonialism, poverty, coups and catastrophic earthquakes. They now live in apartment buildings lining the blocks around the radio station in Brooklyn s Flatbush neighborhood or in Miami s Little Haiti, home to the largest diaspora communities outside the Caribbean.
