By Haitianbeatz Is there a record that feels like nightfall, calm air, and soft city lights?  Chef D’Ooeuvre , the new album from Pierre Jean, lands right in that pocket.

Konpa fans came to party, they sang, danced, and stayed in motion from the first drum hit to the last bow.

By Moses St Louis I touched down in Paris last night, November 2025, and the air felt electric. The taxi pulled onto wet streets, lights flickering on puddles, the city humming like a bassline. I came for the  Klass Adidas concert Paris  on Monday, but the vibe hit me right away. It felt like I had flown to Miami for a Compas Festival, not across the Atlantic. By the time I reached my place, I had already met three fans from the  Haitian diaspora in France . Two wore small fl

By Haitianbeatz Speaking to a very credible source Haitianbeatz has learned that Djakout #1 has canceled all remaining shows for the year after Thanksgiving Weekend because  Roro’s visa  will expire. This pause affects December dates and beyond, a busy stretch for holiday parties and year-end festivals.
