Information Infectious, syncopated mid-tempo rhythms of the French-Caribbean make the Manhattan Haitian Dance Party one of S.O.B.’s most successful and longest running weekly series events in the history of the venue. Each week, live bands from Haiti, Gaudeloupe and other French speaking Caribbean countries take command of the party and transport you to imaginary walks along white sands.
ZIN:
One of the most soulful konpa band from the middle generation, Zin is an establishment, they have been together for close to 19 years now, representing Haitian music and culture throughout the world. With a arsenal of hits, Zin is one of the most well known and loved from their generation.
Under the musical guidance of Alex Abellard, the groove wizard, paired with the golden vocals of “Alain Cave” the pound for pound best vocalist in the HMI, you can’t go wrong, mark your calendar, it’s going to be a sexy show!!
CHALE MIZIK:
BONO/CHALE MIZIK' s album features some of the most radio-friendly compositions. This is confirmed by the hit single to date "Separasyon' which has been turned by many DJ's.
BONO featuring CHALE MiZiK
Presenting an artist and a band has not always been an easy task. That explains why this artist and the new band behind him have taken such a long time in the making.
Finally, the managing team has decided it was appropriate to re-introduce to the public BONO and his new band "CHALE MIZIK". The 38 years old Gonaïves, Haiti native has been in the music business since he was old enough to drive, apprenticing with legendary artists such as, Ti Polis ( R.I.P.), Claude Cajuste to name a few.
After leading bands like NY Superstars of Doff Chancy, Zel of Florida, and NY Allstars, the new BONO has managed to handily distinguish himself from the old one with his impressive new vocal flavor. It is even more relevant whenever he grabs a microphone in front of a performing band, which goes to show how much of an impact he will make on the HMI.
It's been said that Kompa is a young people's game, but it's also hard to tell the difference when it comes to catchy lyrics. Lately, teens across Haiti and aboard have been unwittingly rocking to a Kompa groove made by someone twice their age. "I've worked hard for over 19 years and it's time for me to get my break", said BONO with a chuckle, sounding more relieved than bitter.
You do not have to speak with BONO for a long time before discovering this man has a huge desire to be known as one of those who have sacrificed themselves to maintain the Nemours Jean Baptiste's legacy.
As for the music, BONO/CHALE MIZIK' s album features some of the most radio-friendly compositions. This is confirmed by the hit single to date "Separasyon' which has been turned by many DJ's.
BONO/CHALE MIZIK's recently affirmed that they were separately negotiating a record deal with three well-known record labels. " I am looking to see which one of the trio would meet our requirements", stated BONO. It was also brought to the general public's attention by the BONO camp that another single " La chatte de Mme Bruno" would be dropped by the beginning of 2008
