The Return of Sweet Micky: From Sweet Micky to President Martelly to Sweet Micky Again

Sweet Micky, the return! Haiti’s one-time president Michel Martelly plans to return to the stage with a huge bang.
Sweet Mickey

The band leader-turned island-leader-turned band leader exchanged his Cabinet members for his band members this past February. While he was still prez, he had given his fans a peek of his continued interest in the music business, albeit via “Ba Li Bannan” (Give Them Bananas), a highly controversial carnival song that was deemed vulgar and demeaning by some.

On June 24th, he is scheduled to perform at an all-black affair in Vegas as part of Konpa In Vegas, a three-day set of performances by konpa bands in Nevada. The Carel Pedre-hosted event will be held at the Hard Rock Cafe, and will be DJ’d by DJ Ok and DJJeanuwine. May will find Haiti’s former head-of-island playing in a musical showdown against the group T-Vice. The event is being advertised as a showdown between Sweet Mickey and his reputed musical nemesis T-Vice.

A video surfaced last night on social media showing the former prez wearing a tank top-wearing and short pants in a lively rehearsal. His band members were present, and practiced dance moves alongside their band leader.

While his Konpa In Vegas appearance is highly anticipated—judging from reactions on social media—Sweet Mickey’s first appearance will actually take place this May. He will be among the performers during the pre-parties of Miami’s famed Haitian Compas Festival. Prior to the festival, he will be at Cafe Iguana in Pembroke Pines for his fist official performance.

Will a Sweet Micky album shortly follow? The musical world awaits. After all, it isn’t the first time that an entertainment figure has reverted to previous activities after completing public service. The actor Arnold Schwarzenegger served as governor of California and went back to acting once his term was over.

This has been an episode of Kreyolicious Music News…tune in next time!

ABOUT K. St Fort K. St. Fort is the Editor and Founder of, well, Kreyolicious.com and wishes to give you a heartfelt welcome to her site. She loves to read, write, and listen to music and is fascinated by her Haitian roots, and all aspects of her culture. Speaking of music, she likes it loud, really, really loud. Like bicuspid valve raising-loud. Her other love are the movies. She was once a Top 50 finalist for a student screenwriting competition, encouraging her to continue pounding the pavement. She has completed several screenplays, with Haiti as the backdrop, one of which tackles sexual abuse in an upper middle class Haitian family, while another has child slavery as its subject. She is currently completing another script, this time a thriller, about two sisters who reunite after nearly 10 years of separation. A strong believer in using films to further educational purposes, and to raise awareness about important subjects, she has made it a point to write about social issues facing Haiti, and making them an integral part of her projects. She has interviewed such Haitian-American celebrities as Roxane Gay, Garcelle Beauvais, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Briana Roy, Karen Civil, and many, many more. And that’s her writing this whole biographical sketch. She actually thinks writing about herself in the third person is cute.
