Who was Mikaben Tributes pour in as Haitian music star passes away during France concert
Mikaben began writing music at the age of 5. (Image via mikaben509/Instagram) A Haitian singer Michael "Mikaben" Benjamin suddenly on October 15 at the age of 41. According to the Haitian Times, the singer collapsed immediately after delivering a performance with the famed band Carimi for an anniversary reunion concert in Paris, France. He is survived by his wife, Vanessa Fanfan, who is and is due in December 2022, and his musician father, Lionel “Père Noël” Benjamin, who is called Haiti's Santa Claus because of his Christmas song, Abdenwèl.Brief background on Mikaben
Born in 1981, Michael "Mikaben" Benjamin was a native of Port-au-Prince. One of Haiti's most talented musicians, he began writing songs at 15. He polished his music skills while attending in Canada's Montreal. The late popular singer could sing in four languages - Spanish, Creole, English, and French - and knew how to play multiple instruments like keyboard, drums, guitar and bass. After winning fourth place in a contest, he began his solo career and in 2004, released his second album and built a fan base in Haiti, Europe, the United States, and the French Caribbean. He formed a group called Krezi Mizik with his cousin David Dupoux and released two albums. In 2009, he again started performing solo and went on to work as a producer with artists like Carimi and T-VIce. Following the 2010 earthquake, he recorded Ayti Se (Haiti is) and played it in front of former President Bill Clinton and a multitude of mourners during a remembrance of the catastrophe, which killed over 300,000 people and displaced 1.5 million. While talking to the Palm Beach Post after the earthquake struck, the singer revealed that he was in the mountains when the catastrophe happened. He joined hands with the country's Culture Ministry and formed an organization called Ti Souf Ayiti. Mikaben and other artists who survived the quake visited hospitals, and refugee camps to perform their songs.Twitter reactions on Mikaben s death
