The home of Haitian music on the internet.
Wikimizik is a free, community-powered platform dedicated to preserving, translating, and celebrating Haitian music — lyrics, artists, articles, and the culture woven into every song.
Why Wikimizik exists
Haitian Creole is the heartbeat of Haitian identity — yet for decades, the lyrics to some of the most beloved songs in the diaspora existed only in memory, passed from person to person, imperfectly and incompletely.
Wikimizik was built to change that. We believe every song deserves to be understood — not just heard. Whether you grew up dancing to kompa at family gatherings, discovered rap kreyòl on social media, or are learning Haitian Creole for the first time — Wikimizik is your reference.
Think of us as the Wikipedia of Haitian music: open, collaborative, and always growing.

From kompa to rap kreyòl
Haitian music spans genres — the romantic sweep of kompa dirèk, the political fire of rap kreyòl, the spiritual roots of rara and mizik rasin, the festive energy of zouk and kadans. Wikimizik covers them all, because Haitian music is not one thing — it's a whole world.
