I know there's been many debates about hmi album release being 95% in creole. But In Today's market, wouldn't be wise for haitian artist to produce songs in various languages? Portuguese, Spanish, other languages where other countries listen to a similar musical format like konpa? It would probably limited remakes of our music in foreign languages as well!

You are right, Track. We have discussed this topic many times before on KM. Vlad and I agreed that it would be best for a Haitian band to sing songs in other languages. It would be a smart move indeed. Exposure and mucho dinero!

Track,
Your suggestion is a very good idea. However, keep in mind that intonation in different languages vary, and the music need to also be modified to align with each respective language.

Mach, You've heard some of the konpa i posted in spanish and from other countries, and they sounded pretty decent to me! Some sound better then a lot of what we hear in our language. But i do understand what your saying!

Track,
You don't have to go further. Just listen to Skah Shah's Caroline.
