GRO, WHO is the true fan base you are talking about here?
Fans, in your likes or TRUE MELOMANES?
IF YOU r talking about NU LOOK here, TRUE MELOMANES will always be behind the band. AND, the reason is simple. MELOMANES LOOK FOR GOOD MUSIC.
BUT, SI 2,3 gren MOUNS PA mache deye djazz la, that is expected
You will never please everybody.
But, ou gen lot djazz ou pou mache deye, sa pa ou pwoblem, mon che
SA OU WE?
C PA GRAVE, GRO

PS. BY THE WAY, OU VIN SANSIV POU DJAZZ LAN ANPIL, HEIN

When I read this thread, this compas era is what popped in my head. I thought of Still News something news.. whatever CD.. lol and I also thought about Zenglen w Reginald & Frero. These bands, at that time, gained soo many fans that catered to the Carimi ZIN late KK days.

So yes it has been done and can be done. It all depends on the product and how you deliver it..

SideNote and truly hope this doesnt side track the topic of the thread: A heavy hitter band can try to sugarcoat their style to cater to another fan base but that doesnt always mean that they'll hit a run. Im taking Nulooks recent release w Mika & Michael of Carimi.. I think that track did absolutely nothing for them cause in my honest opinion, it wasnt nothing major enough to widen your audience in that aspect. Idk it didnt work for my ears although its still a decent track. It just didn't rock my ears like I had predicted and I see no predictions for it.. but who knows..

It can be done, as long as what you put out is good.

Kreyol La is the perfect example, with "Evolution" they've added more fans to their portfolio...

P.S. Ki le obsession Nu Look avek Disip sa ap fini? Nou vere tout post sou makakery...enfin!

yon band pata sipoze ap chache chanje fans base w
w ta pito travay pou'w ogmante fans base la
w ka toujou rete orijinal
epi w aplike taktik maketin pou atire yon lot group..

ex: Tropicana, jazz tout generasion

ajoute sou Fans base la,
men pa chanje fans base la

Ahhhhhhhh, NU LOOK came to mind, then T-VICE with their CARIMI cpopycat WELCOME TO HAITI ALBUM.


So far, it ain't working for 1 of them. T-VICE ap manje moun, NU LOOK ap goumen internally.

[kompared]

People can lie all they want, the fact of the matter bands cannot change their fanbase no matter what they do. It is all about perception and how you market yourself from the start. The type of compas that you play, the slogans, the lyrics contents of your song are among other factors that dictate your following.

Bands need to be content with their fanbase as long as they get paid to play. Depi yo peye w, it does not matter whom you play for.....It is a business after all...They can risk to lose their own fans in trying to attract a fanbase that will never follow them.

Some bands will always have a fanbase dominated by mature males/hardcore compas lovers no matter what they do. Others will have a hip/female dominated following.

Byen ke'm pa finn dako ak sa, yon jazz gen shanje demografiks li se li panse ke fanbase pa bal sopport ke li te konn jwenn.
Mwen gade sa kom yon bizniz strateji.
Men fok tout ingredyen yo an plas pou li mashe...
Par example, si jazz la komanse granmoun, fok ou gen jeune gason ladan'l si se jenn timoun ou vle rale...
Si jazz la jeune, fok ou mete mizisyen serye lada'l pou atire granmoun..
Fok jazz la reflekte demografiks ke li fixe ya...
At the end of the day, si jazz la fe bon mizik li gen shans pou'l anvayi tout demografiks yo....
Si se jazz intel la Pat te gen lan lide'l, an nou tann rezilta yo...
Li two boneu pou nou fe yon assessment...
