This band has a lot of talents but lack leadership. The guys need to get it together, because time is passing them by. They shoould fire their marketing team. I remember once, someone from the Harmonik camp stated on kompamagazine.com that they will not play with Gabel because that's not their audience. I must of die laughing that day.

When you are a new band, everbody should be your potencial fans. You need to build a fan base not alienated people from your band. The person said that Harmonik will only play with Carimi and T-vice. I was like: is Harmonik a band or a tribute band to Carimi and T-vice.

Harmonik has 3 studio albums and the band is in a major slump. Harmonik can't even pack a club in their own city by themselves. Rodney noel is to blame, he has a firm grip on the boys and he needs to let them loose. For once hire someone who knows what they are doing. What's their objectif? No one knows. I blame Rodney for the Roosevelt fiasco. Roosevelt would of brought leadership and Identity to the group, but they droove him out because he did not had the boy band look.

Nicky, you need to put on your big boy pants and take control over your band. It's time for you to lead. Too much talents in the band, ya'll should of been miles ahaed.

For the average Haitian person, yeah Kompa music was everywhere on the radio. Kompa or Haitian Music just something that appears. You enter a Haitian shop, you get in your car, you go to a Haitian restaurant, in the background: music.

Buying kompa music was rare for most folks. because they had a friend that always had a mix tape. Live Haitian band was the thing to have on your collections. I remember my dad had a whole sections full of live tapes. Now days, people don't really have time to listen to music. Bills take precedent over their lives. It seems that no one has time to stop and really enjoy some good music. 

 The radio don't play any new kompa music anymore because it's pay to play. Every Dj is a super star, they think that you are tune in to listen to them. They'll talk a storm and only play about 2 minutes worth of songs in a 2 hours show. 

As for me, that's the reason I got into muziklakay.com, We expose everyone, we at muziklakay.com are not the star, we are a platform to introduce kompa bands and artists to the world. we have a section for everything relating to Haitian music. In return we are asking you to help by letting your fellow kompa or Haitian Music lovers know about us.

I was always a fan of kompa music (D.P. Express, Scorpio, Coupe Cloue etc.) because that was what my dad listened to in the car. He took me to my first gig (Night Club in Delmas) and I finally saw Tabou Combo. About this time, I had a friend who had started listening to kompa mamba (Coupe Cloue) over the last year, and he told me to go out and check coupe cloue's album St Antoine. So I did. At first I was like WTF!?! at the words but the guitar sound just blew me away. Bearing in mind that my virgin ears had never listened to anything of sort. After a couple of listens I realised that clean singing in this kind of music wouldn't work properly and that actually, I liked the cursing. Of course once I had heard one coupe cloue album I wanted to hear more, and the next time coupe cloue played locally I was there.

Whilst kompa mamba really changed my music tastes I would also have to say that the sheer influence of seeing a band live has changed my outlook on music. I will often hear from a friend that such-and-such is playing and would I like to go. More often than not I have seen the name in the related videos section on muziklakay.com or heard the odd song, but since I love seeing bands I will say ok. Then I go out and listen to whole discographies, and will look up the support bands as well, if not before the gig, then definitely afterwards and thus, my Haitian music library expands.

I am far more open minded with music these days, but will never say I listen to everything. I tend to hate cheesy  music. I love me some Zenglen, Nu look, dissip, Djakout and so on. No Kompa music is "too heavy" for me but I don't like band with no inspiration or lack off.

In many ways I only had one major change in my kompa music taste, but it has since grown so much that it almost seems strange that it could all be related.
