ICYMI: The Haitian Compas Festival: The USA’s Biggest Haitian Music Festival And How It Went Down
The Haitian Compas Festival, the USA’s biggest Haitian music festival took place for two days over the weekend at Miami’s Bayfront Park. Let’s see how it went down. Here’s the full report from your favorite chick Kreyolicious. Look at radio maven, recording artist, and community leader Supa Cindy in her TMMG Store get-up. She hosted the festival on its second day.
The curvy, Haitian-American/Dominican was in high spirits, dimpling all over the place!
Guess who else was there? None other than Lajan Slim, also sporting a red-and-blue outfit.
Here she is chilling with Zoey Dollaz, right before she took to the mic to introduce the Miami-born rap star to the stage.
And she rubbed shoulders with a former president. None other than one of Haiti’s former head of state, Mr. Michel Martelly.
