Summer for the City: 'Ayiti Se' ❤️ MIKABEN

  • Damrosch Park (Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts) Amsterdam Ave & W 62nd St New York, NY 10023 United States (map)

Haitian singer-songwriter Michael "Mikaben" Benjamin was one of the most talented performers of his generation, not least for his anthem of national pride, Ayiti Se ("Haiti Is"). Mikaben's tragic onstage death at the end of 2022 sent shock waves through Haiti's musical community. Honoring what would have been Mikaben's 42nd birthday, Curator Chriss Rimpel of RAD MuziK reunites friends, collaborators and family for a celebration of his legacy, featuring Guadeloupe-born dancehall artist Admiral T; vocalists J. Perry, Talie Cerin, Obed, Martine Marseille and Phyllisia Ross; DJ Stakz; former members of the seminal Konpa collective CaRiMi Mickael Guirand 'VAYB' and Richard Cavé 'KAÏ'; and Mikaben's sister Mélodie and father, Lionel Benjamin Senior.
