I am a friend, of a local Original Music , Alternative Rock Band Musician and Band, named Ryan Stone, he and five other original artists, will be donating their time, to raise money and awareness, to help with relief efforts, in their own way. It would be a far more profitable, non-profitable event, if they could be so lucky, to have the appearance and share the experience, through the Haitian Music, possibly to be performed by someone, who knows. Is it possible, to have the presence of your musician, this Saturday, in Coconut Grove Center, from noon, to sundown. With each band performing 45 minutes, or whatever could be contributed. I know, I would love to know, what Haitians feel like, through the feeling of the instruments and soul of their music and song. What do you think? I can put the event coordinator, in touch with you, if you need. Thank you for your kind attention and heart. Tracie Samara ( a citizen, trying to do my part)
Comments (0) Best Haitian Band - 2007
T-Vice
Miami based T-Vice is the undisputed king of the new konpa, a deliciously melodious Haitian tropical blend infused with American pop influences like hip-hop and R&B. Founding members Roberto Martino and Reynaldo Martino have been doing their thing since the mid-Nineties, when they moved to Miami and reunited with their father, Robert Martino, leader of popular Haitian band Top-Vice. Naming their group after their father's, the Martino brothers and T-Vice would soon earn a large following, thanks to a series of innovative pop albums that rejuvenated the konpa movement with English-language lyrics. Hot collaborations with luminaries like Wyclef Jean and dancehall superstar Buju Banton (on the song "Party By The Sea") have turned the T-Vice squad into the new ambassadors of Haitian music. And while they travel the world, bringing their audiences delight with solid konpa hits like "4 Las," there's no greater joy than watching the boys let loose in their adopted hometown. Banm T-Vice Mwen, indeed.
