As the status of the presidential elections remain uncertain in Haiti, former president Michel Martelly is moving away from the political limelight and back to the Kompas stage, with an inaugural performance scheduled for today, Thursday, May 19, at Café Iguana in Pembroke Pines.
The event is pegged as “the official welcome back party of Sweet Micky,” the self-dubbed “President of Kompa.” The performance will be hosted by Frankie Mixx-A lot, and feature music from DJ Stakz of New York, DJ K9 of Haiti, and local spinners DJ Paz and DJ AJ305.
The intimate South Florida concert will mark the official re-launch of his musical career since leaving office. A promotional video for the show says “The president is back…rebuilt from the core.”After the performance at the Café Iguana, Sweet Mickey is scheduled to perform at the week-long 4th annual Konpa in Vegas concert in June, and may reportedly appear at the 18th annual Haitian Compas Festival on May 21 at Bayfront Park in Miami, though he is not scheduled on the advertised line-up.
The former Prime Minister has not released any new music since his term ended, and will be likely performing his biggest hits, including “Pa Manyen” (“Don’t Touch”) and “Prezidan.”
The former prime minister left office on February 7, after his constitutionally set term expired, without an elected successor.
