ZAFEM’s music and prices send HMI into panic, Haitian film director earns Cuban award, Disip down 1 | Woyyy!


If music is synonymous with competition, it also rhymes with a panic crisis in the Haitian Music Industry. Ever since the band Zafem came out in a virtual concert in 2020, people have been anxious to see them live. But with live performances taking a back seat due to Covid-19, band members Dener Seide and Reginald Cange took three years to release the album LAS. 

With its captivating journey into various Haitian music genres that gives ZAFEM a melodious, catchy sound, the album instantly struck fear in the hearts of all major bands. After their long-awaited grand premiere at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, ZAFEM’s performances have been sold out – in New York, Florida, Boston, Atlanta, Ghana and Dubai. Even in Haiti, at the Gelee Festival in Les Cayes in July, the band commanded a massive amount said to be around $100,000 USD. Woyyy! 

Uh oh, it looks like you’ve hit a paywall! But don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here are a few ways you can access this story.
