Our Take

Haiti meets the UK in an explosive fusion of sounds on LAKOU MIZIK's latest album, "Haitianolain." This eclectic mash-up of traditional Haitian music and British influences is a breath of fresh air in the music scene. From the infectious rhythms of konpa to the groovy beats of reggae, this album has something for everyone.

The opening track, "Kòman Ou Ye," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its catchy melodies and hypnotic percussion. As the album progresses, tracks like "Gad Non" showcase the band's versatility, blending elements of dancehall and soca seamlessly. The chemistry among the band members is palpable, and their passion for their craft shines through in every note.

One standout track is "Parenn Legliz," a powerful anthem that pays homage to Haiti's rich musical heritage. The haunting vocals and poignant lyrics are a testament to the band's ability to tackle serious topics with grace and finesse.

Overall, "Haitianolain" is a triumph for LAKOU MIZIK, proving that great music knows no boundaries. Whether you're a fan of Caribbean music or just looking for something new and exciting to listen to, this album is a must-have. So sit back, relax, and let the vibrant sounds of LAKOU MIZIK transport you to a world of pure musical bliss.
