Compas Music superstar Michael Benjamin appears to be taking his craft to a completely new dimension with the release of his new single “I’m Loving my Life”. It has a very pop/hip-hop, upbeat feeling to it, and is getting positive feedback on the Internet. It’s a huge departure from the Compas of his group Krezi Mizik, and it will remain to be seen if it will have any cross-over appeal as well as if it will be embraced by the Haitian community.
Listen to it, and let people know what you think. Di sa’w vle!

Despite a sparse dance floor, the venue was a cavalcade of movers and shakers in the Haitian Music Industry.
