Five Diaspora Winter Anthems

A few weeks ago, all 50 states reached freezing temperatures. The Polar vortex may be gone, but most of us still can't feel our toes. Since humans can't hibernate, staying in and hunkering down is only a temporary fix. Plus, we have to brave the cold to pay those bills. Good thing, we have music to warm our souls. Quite a few Haitian artists have migrated to the States, Canada, and Europe. They've all experienced the winter blues and expressed their lingering homesickness in song. Here are a few of our favorites. They're a potent cocktail of frustration and nostalgia. We'd cry,...

Rapping our History From Dessalines to Martelly

Tomorrow, we celebrate the Haitian flag's 211th anniversary. We have a lot to be proud of. And a lot to think about. Many songs fit the occasion.

4Mula's Chapter 1

Jude and Carl Edouard (Carlitow) Deslouches have been on our radar since they dropped Se Ou Mwen Vle and the subsequent EP. Once in a while, the brothers would tease us with a new track. Late last year, they introduced 4Mula, a new band with fellow Montrealites and former Vibrasyon members, Romuald Paul and Benjamin Guirand. Their debut, "Chapter 1", is a groovy ride anchored by the Deslouches' warm vocals. It's the kind of album that will jump start any party and keep it rocking all night long. All you need is an aux cord. We...

BIOGRAPHY

Kreyol La est une formation musicale haitienne, jouant exclusivement du Compas, le rythme haitien le plus populaire, dans toutes ses variantes et toutes ses couleurs.
Créée en 2005, á Pétion-Ville, Kreyol La est le fruit de certains membres issus du groupe Konpa Kreyol. Au début des années 2000, Konpa Kreyol était considéré, á raison, comme le porte-parole par excellence de la jeunesse haitienne, ce qui lui a valu le pseudo "Jazz La jenès la". Dans un ton original, alliant rigueur et humour, et utilisant la cadence tantôt douce tantôt " up tempo " comme courroie de transmission, Konpa Kreyol savait relater les problèmes des jeunes et de la société, en générale, avec art et méthode.
