With One of Its Singers Mickael Guirand Taking A Break, What’s Next for Carimi?

Today many Haitian music fans woke up to news that Carimi band member Mickael Guirand, has chosen to go on “pause”. In a statement circulated all over the internet, the singer thanked fans for their patronage, and informed them that he’s taking a “break”. Speculation has been running rampant as to what “break” could mean. Hopeful fans are hoping that the “break” isn’t permanent, but will be short of duration, so that the singer can take care of whatever issue has lead to his decision. According to the band’s Facebook page, Carimi is set to perform for the Haitian Association at Rutgers University with DJ OK this upcoming Sunday. That concert still stands, and has not been cancelled, according to information available on the band’s social media pages.

The news of Guirand was especially mind-boggling to some, because the group seemed to be in a jubilant state. Posts celebrating the band’s 14th year of existence were frequent. The band members recently performed at Miami’s Moca Café, and footage shared with fans showed band members bouncing on the stage full of energy.

By all accounts, the band was alive and kicking. Earlier this year, the Carimi boys released their video for their song “Baby I Miss You”. A few months ago, the band released a video, featuring X-Man, a reggae artist from the French Antilles. Less than three months ago, fans were treated to a live album entitled Kite m Cho.

There is a beginning and end to everything, but fourteen years can’t be thrown away just like that. Can it? Let Mr. Guirand take all the time that he needs to mentally, physically and spiritually replenish, and take care of his internal business—whatever that may be—and once that has been properly managed—let him return to his band.

Meanwhile, Carimi is a business. Fans are sharing their thoughts on Twitter as to whom should fill in during the singer’s absence. Names from Emmery of Karizma to Mikaben and others are being thrown around.

But back to that singer…Fourteen years…that’s like from first grade to like high school, plus four semesters in college. This is something that shouldn’t be taken too lightly. There is a question of legacy here.

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.
