BREAKING NEWS: Two scenes in the #BlackPanther movie are set in #Haiti! Actual footage of Cap-Haïtien made it to the big screen. Haitian Creole and even our local transportation, tap taps, are in the movie. An important character is named after our national hero, Toussaint. 🇭🇹✊🏿
#Haiti Haitians in shock after death of singer #Mikaben in Paris. The 41-year-old, hailed as ‘one of the most talented artists of his generation’, collapsed on stage. theguardian.com/music/2022/o…
12:10 AM, Dimache 16 octobre 2022. Micheal Benjamin est mort suite à un arrêt cardiaque tout de suite après sa prestation au concert de Carimi à l’Accor Arena, Paris. Mika était l’un des artistes les plus talentueux de sa génération.
Mika was a one of a kind artist and performer. His presence on stage was magnetic.
He brought so much love and passion to his art and cared deeply about his family, friends and Haiti.
I’m so grateful for his friendship and kindness. Love you my brother and RIP 💔🕊️
Given Mikaben’s collaborations with some Soca artistes, which indicates a familiarity with Soca music, I’m mostly convinced he had to know of Destra Garcia or at least some of her music.
Either way, he would’ve loved this tribute.
@mikaben gave his life to Haiti. He carried our flag on his back until his dying breath. At one point before singing you can see he was in deep pain and yet he persevered. It’s almost as if the same flag he was fighting for gave him strength to finish what he began. ✊🏿🇭🇹 #Mikaben
