CARIMI LISTENING SESSION IN HAITI: 5 SECONDS TO KONVETI!!!!!

I'm assuming that 5 seconds have past from the moment you click on the post so i'm assuming that nou already konveti. I'm coming back from the Buzz album listening session and what i can say it's a success. Carimi will beautifully bounce back from their last album. The Buzz video, Buzz meaning pa sa ou fumen an pral bay moun problem. Rarely have I seen a video an be in awe. Amazing. Let's not get ahead of our self so let us begin the review XXplosive Style.....




LOCATION...LOCATION...LOCATION...



OASIS HOTEL was the perfect setting for Carimi's listening session. Parking available, nice space and all. The reception was enjoyable, at three gorgeous VOILA women at the entrance ready to great you with a bag containing VOILA gifts, a nice looking Carimi Buzz T-Shirt, Voila t-shirts and a key chain. Prestige was a gogo, sodas and hors d'oeuvre which included Kibby, gryiot and some little tartes. Great seating area, great spot to mingle, the atmosphere was chill and relaxed. Richard, Carlo, Micheal, Alex Thebaud and Fito was walking around talking to the guests and have everyone feel comfortable and at home.



THE VIDEO: BUZZ



I won't say anything just follow me, close your eyes and visualize a balck and white world:

The beginning, Gorgeous, sexy and classy girl with black top belly dancing....boom, in a deserted neighborhood with deserted building on the background giving you the feeling that you were in Lebanon, a middle eastern guy singing and the boom, Carlo, Richard, Micheal dressed so appropriately walking, looking mean and confident. From the Middle East with love, we go back to where it all started, New York.

You can see Micheal Guirand with a balck and white mafia type of suit singing inside an escalade driving through the streets of New York, the best shot is when the Escalade is rolling down Time Square, you can see the reflection of all the light and glitter of Manhattan in between snapshots of a club scene.

The climax of the video: The guys are entering an airfield and you can see the Private JET that was talk about on KM. Shabba just went crazy on that part. Moun yo rele anmey leu yo we Jet la and when Shabba started singing, that was it, moun yo finn fou. Yo menm montre Shabba sou yo crazy moto. All the guys were dressed Europend style, Carlo te gen yon crazy costume shinny dark gray, bel bagay net. Shabba te trop fre, he's becoming the Haitian Version of Kanye West, stylish, feature him on your video and you know he will light up the Buzz. Great video, great scenery, great colors, nice story, just perfect....



THE ALBUM: BUZZ



Very nice album, if the lead single is Buzz, the second would be Officiel. I don't know if it's because it was talked about on KM but when they announced Officiel moun yo te gen yon bel reaction caus it's about official girls having guys on the side, the tables have turned

We the best is a very cool track, street oriendted. Richard Cave has a song called Kado i think where he uses an Harmonica and chinese violin, the poetry in this one is great and the sound and instrumentation make it amazing, perfect job. Mwen Pare(pou'm marye) is amazing with a spanish guitar. Carlo has an acapella version of Dezole plus the kompa version which is a great song. It will kill live. Other songs are Fanm Sa Move with Mika, very cool and young, a joint with Princess Lover and more. Overall there are 10 songs including Zandolit. Carimi will definitely bounce back with this album, it will be a success live, no many haters in the world can bring down the work these guys put in their album...Great Job guys and PERFECT JOB on the Video.



THE STARS ARE OUT



In the attendance was Ritchie from Zenglen, Ti Lion came in as he was joined by Lionel Benjamin and later on an all happy Mika Benjamin specially after the nice reaction from his new track N'ap Kite'l Pou Yo. Jwilavi's founder Gino was in attendance also. KM Members representing were K-Lito and I think it was Zabelbook, i think a recognize the face and a lot of people from the media having fun in the company of Carlo Vieux, Richard Cave, Fito Farinen and ALex Thebaud.

On UN mission, Bill Clinton promotes tourism in Haiti

(AFP) CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti — Former US president Bill Clinton, visiting Haiti in his capacity as a United Nations special envoy, wrapped up a two-day trip with a call for tourists to visit the Caribbean country.




"I love this place. It's wonderful. I see the potential," he said as he visited Cap-Haitien, on the country's north coast.



With infrastructure improvement, such as better roads, visitors from the United States and elsewhere would be able to experience what Haiti has to offer, he added.



Haitian children would benefit too, he added, by being able to "learn about the greatness of their country's history."



Clinton, who was appointed in June to serve as a special envoy for United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, has been visiting Haiti in a bid to boost investments in the Americas' poorest nation.



He called on Haiti's government to build a national airport in the north of the country, home to most of the nation's touristic and historic sights.



Clinton noted the success of Haiti's neighbor on the island of Hispaniola -- the Dominican Republic -- which attracts around two million tourists a year.



He encouraged Haiti to carefully preserve its monuments and historic sites, while working to protect the country's environment.



Haiti has been devastated by unchecked deforestation for charcoal production, leaving the nation with less than two percent vegetation coverage.



Clinton was named special UN envoy with a mandate to mobilize international donors to contribute to Haiti, which was ravaged by storms in 2008 and has an employment rate of 70 percent.



On Thursday, Clinton hosted a meeting of more than 200 potential investors from throughout the Americas, telling them it was a moment of "great opportunity" for foreign investment in Haiti.



"I can tell you the political risk in Haiti is lower that it has ever been in my lifetime," the former president said, adding that he and the Haitian government would work to accommodate any requests by investors.



The former president is hugely popular with many Haitians, and has found himself met by cheering crowds during his travels in the country.

GRACIA sanbl e jwenn papa ’l

Nous avons appris la triste nouvelle de la mort du père de l’enfant terrible du compas, Gracia Delva, surnommé Ti bat kò. Nous présentons nos sincères condoléances à Gracia ainsi qu’à sa mère pleurant amèrement ses quelques décennies d’amour perdu...




Pendant longtemps, le chanteur

vedette de Mass Kompa n’a

cessé de demander à sa mère de

lui montrer son père dans un refrain

mélancolique : “Manman

montre m Papam”. Malheureusement,

il ne connaîtra jamais

la joie paternelle puisque peu de

temps après avoir découvert quel

est l’homme qui est censé être

son père, celui-ci décide de partir

vers l’au-delà. Durant tout le temps que l’illustre Maestro Hulrick Pierre-Louis de Septentrional

fréquentait la mère du chanteur et dormait sous son toit, Gracia ne se doutait de rien. Il n’avait à aucun moment imaginé que le légendaire maestro pouvait être son père. C’est dommage, dira-t-il, qu’il l’ait su, selon

toute vraisemblance, seulement après sa disparition. Ce n’est pas sans raison que, dans plusieurs de ses mélodies, s’adressant à sa maman, il n’a cessé de chanter “Manman montre m Papam”.



Né au Cap-Haïtien, le bébé a été vite emmené à Marchand. L’on ne sait jusqu’à ce jour pourquoi Manman Titine n’a jamais voulu révéler à son fils qui était son papa. Le voile semble être enfin levé avec la mort du maestro Pierre-Louis plongeant dans une profonde tristesse la mère de Gracia qui fut une excellente “gongiste” au sein de la première formation musicale créée par l’Orchestre Septentrional et composée uniquement de femmes. Gracia nous a confié qu’il a du, devant la douleur queressentait sa maman à l’annonce de la mort de quelqu’un avec lequel elle a connu des moments “merveilleux”, la conduire rapidement

au Cap-haïtien, là où les funérailles seront probablement chantées.



Avec un père qui fut un excellent saxophoniste et sa mère, une talentueuse musicienne maniant bien le “gong”, vous conviendrez avec moi que Gracia a de qui tenir quant à son talent de chanteur. Il a donc la musique dans le sang.



Gracia, tout comme sa maman, portera-t-il le deuil, ne serait- ce que dans son coeur, pour quelqu’un au sujet duquel il n’avait le moindre soupçon que c’était son père ? Apparemment non, car, selon ce qu’il nous a confié, je n’ai jamais eu nulle relation paternelle avec le maestro. Pourtant, il y a eu entre maman et lui une longue relation sentimentale de plusieurs décennies. En tant que musicien, poursuitil, je n’ai qu’à tirer ma révérence. devant un si grand musicien qui a créé et dirigé l’Orchestre Septentrional durant plus de 60 ans. C’est un modèle à suivre.



Lors de la rencontre que nous avons eu hier avec Gracia, le créateur du Mass compas, nous avons pu déceler qu’il entretient encore des doutes concernant cette révélation tardive. Nous nous demandons déjà s’il ne va pas, malgré tout, continuer à chanter Manman montre m Papam.



Gracia Delva serait-il le fils du Maestro Hulric Pierre-Louis ? En dépit de la mort de celui-ci, il y a encore moyen de le vérifier en recourant à des tests d’ADN, d’autant plus que la dépouille n’est pas encore inhumée. Un chemin à suivre, si l’on ne voudrait pas se fier aux paroles d’une mère. En tout cas, les femmes savent souvent (pour ne pas dire toujours) pour qui elles tombent enceinte. La balle est enfin dans le camp de notre fameux chanteur.



Tel père, tel fils. Si tel est toujours le cas, l’on peut être déjà persuadé que le groupe MASS COMPAS atteindra autant de décennies que l’Orchestre Septentrional.
