Peye M • Kreyol La

That voice in your head isn't your conscience. It's your mother, whispering "Pitit mwen, sa a w'ap fè la a?" Reminding you that you're better than this. Telling you to dust yourself off and finish what you started. Urging you to be as great as she knows you were destined to be. Because that's what mothers do. She always knows best and always wants the best for you. Whether your mother is a short drive away, a phone call away, or in heaven watching down, these songs remind us that the our greatest...

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. Would we feature a nostalgic ode like Jacques Sauveur Jean's Ayiti Cheri and MikaBen's Ayiti Se? Or poignant reality checks like BelO's Detripay? Kumbaya...

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...

From Hi To I Do

We started Wikimizik because we're passionate about Haitian music and believe our language makes for beautiful storytelling. That's why we're telling a love story through song with "From Hi To I Do." Starting today and ending on Valentine's Day, we'll follow a relationship from the initial encounter to the altar. Everyday we'll share a song or more taking us through the stages of the relationship. There'll be songs that make you smile, and others that may leave you feeling...

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.
