Lakou Mizik

Lakou Mizik is a vibrant Haitian collective that bursts with the spirit of their homeland, mashing up traditional rhythms like rasin, vodou ceremonial music, and kompa with modern electronic beats and socially conscious lyrics. Formed in the aftermath of Haiti’s devastating 2010 earthquake, the band emerged as a joyful act of resilience, uniting generations of musicians to celebrate Haitian culture and address political struggles through music. Their sound is a sun-soaked fusion of ancestral chants, hypnotic percussion, and dancefloor-ready grooves, earning them global recognition as ambassadors of Haiti’s rich musical legacy.

Recent remixes of their tracks—like DJ Koze’s trippy take on “Sanba Yo Pran Pale” or Chris Lake’s club-ready twist on “Bade Zile”—show how their rootsy anthems translate seamlessly into electronic realms. Collaborations with artists like Michael Brun and NERO highlight their genre-blurring appeal, while albums like *Leave the Bones* and *HaitiaNola* (a project with New Orleans artists) prove their mission to connect Haitian traditions to the wider world. Whether through ecstatic live shows or cross-cultural collabs, Lakou Mizik keeps the heartbeat of Haiti pounding loud and proud.
