By Haitianbeatz A short video clip can do real damage when unverified claims start moving faster than facts. That is the issue behind a clip in which Romeo Gatesa says Rutshelle pressured an event promoter for more money. One of the promoters says that claim is false, full stop. He also says the other partner knows nothing about any such demand, which turns this into more than a private dispute. It becomes a warning about how quickly careless media talk can strain business ti

By Haitianbeatz On Sunday, June 14, the Infinity Hornblower became the setting for a historic night in HMI. Rutshelle Guillaume and Anie Alerte stepped aboard with their bands and gave fans a show that felt bigger than a normal party. Showing why the event was dubbed as "Mistresses of the Sea", they owned the Hudson River on Sunday. It was the first time two female-led bands headlined this kind of yacht event together in HMI. The music delivered, the crowd stayed with them, a

By Moses St Louis A yacht party on the Hudson River already had heat, but this one has something more. Anie Alerte, Rutshelle Guillaume, Zile, and RG Band are set for a sold-out night aboard the Infinity Hornblower this Sunday, June 14.

That puts the song close to the finish line, even if key details still haven't surfaced. For fans of Haitian music and sports, the buzz matters because a release like this can feel like a chant, a celebration, and a headline all at once. Wha

By Moses St Louis Alan Cave won the attendance battle at UBS Arena. After a strong Boston turnout of about 5,000, drawing close to 10,000 in New York is a crowd win by any fair measure. That matters because HMI rarely gets nights this big without debate about whether the market can support them. Alan proved the audience is there. Still, a packed building is only part of the story. The larger question is what the night meant for Haitian live music as a whole. A major concert s

By Haitianbeatz The first spin of Nan Lide Yo gets to the point fast. Kliche opens this 13-track release with easy hooks, smooth pacing, and a sound that invites repeat listens. It also carries a strong Dat7 aftertaste. For some listeners, that will feel like Dat7 reloaded, with a new frame and one clear absence. Still, this album works best when you judge it on its own, because several songs stand out right away and make the whole set easy to revisit. What this new Kliche al
