Harmonik

Caribe Arts Fest, North Miami, FL

Since its grand premiere on August 15, 2008, the Harmonik buzz has crossed borders beyond Florida, Haiti, and across the United States to cities such as Boston, Atlanta, and New York. In just a few months after their grand premiere, this group from Miami quickly became the official boy band of the Haitian music industry.

In 2019, the band released its studio album called “Respè,” with three major hit singles titled “Ou detenn sou mwen”, “Existe,” and “Denye Chans.” In that same year, Harmonik released a live album of its sold-out performance at Casino de Paris.
In February 2022, despite the pandemic and the uncertainty that came along, Harmonik released its long-awaited album “Maturité,” with the leading single
“Pap Ka Separe,” featuring Vanessa Desire. This album is different from any other album because it features many Haitian artists like Danola, Vanessa Desire, rappers Mechans-T, Troubleboy Hitmaker, and Pierre Jean. The second single of this album is Maturité, which features vocals from the trio.
