Anlè Anlè Nèt [Kanaval 2018] • Kreyol La

Since Nathalie Cerin released her first two studio singles, Ti Nèg Chèlbè and Bèl Tifi, we've been waiting for a complete project from her. It's finally here, and it's a live EP she recorded on her birthday. On 16 Novembre, we find a more seasoned artist, with a firmer grasp on the world. Gone is the bubbly sweetness of her earlier material. The patina of life - wilted relationships, career shifts, last-minute apartment hunts - has molded her...

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,...

Songwriter's Corner: J-Ron

Ever since he dropped All I Want is You, Ronald "J-Ron" Jean, has been working hard mastering his unique blend of RnB infused Konpa and Zouk. And he sure has perfected it.

Kompasoul Impresses On 'No Rules'

No Rules is the debut album of Kompasoul, a new band from Montreal, Canada. The 13 tracks flow seamlessly and leave you dancing throughout the duration of the project. What's most impressive about Kompasoul is their versatility. While the band is able to churn out hard-hitting club bangers promoters will love (Pè severans, Pirana, Manje Pou 2), they also craft mellow konpa love and zouk hits DJs will spin. And the transition between the two sounds is effortless. Even...

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.
