After the breakout success of \u201cYo kase t\u00e8t DG a\u201d in Haiti, a song that generated both controversy and acclaim, the track has now been given a new lease on life through a remix featuring a foreign artist. Leo Leo\u2019s \u201cAfriken an,\u201d now joined by the voice of Bulin, is making waves with two voices coming together to bridge the island.<\/p>\n
Some celebrations open doors; others break through barriers. In just two days, the music video released on August 14 has already surpassed three million views on YouTube. It is a remarkable achievement for a rab\u00f2day track, a distinctly Haitian musical genre that is often pushed to the margins of mainstream music discussions. With Bulin bringing his own sound to the remix, the song appears to pay little attention to borders.<\/p>\n
The track also racked up 1.2 million views in just 24 hours, quickly becoming a YouTube trend in the Dominican Republic. Part of the music video was filmed in Cap-Ha\u00eftien and brings together Haitian national colors with those of its neighboring country. Rarely has a musical collaboration between the two sides of the island resonated so strongly, both musically and visually.<\/p>\n
The \u201cLeo Leo\u201d remix represents an important milestone in the career of Haitian entertainer Afriken an. It could open the door to Latin America while giving rab\u00f2day an opportunity to reach new audiences beyond Haiti\u2014a genre that has too often been overlooked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
