It was just like yesterday a group of young men, under the direction of manager René Davis, unified to form the boys’ band – Karizma. It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years. Since then, Karizma has been working relentlessly to find its respective place within the Haitian Music Industry. Last night, the band released the second video: DEBOUCHE of its sophomore album – VIRUS.
Debouche stars one of HMI’s heavyweight promoters, Richard Urbain, playing the role of a gangster. In the beginning scene, Richard is giving out an ultimatum to Karizma’s lead guitarist, JR, to bring back his money within 24 hours or he would have to pick his “own poison”. The video also features several members of the band showing playing their respective instruments.
Many have criticized the young Compas band for biting off the sound of New York City’s most successful Compas band Carimi. Given Carimi is no longer an active band, Karizma can now carry the torch and keep resemble sound alive.
It hasn’t been an easy journey for Karizma, especially in a tough New York market where Carimi was the last band that made it big. In its five years of existence, Karizma has gone through a series of musicians. That has been one of its challenges to find its unique signature sound. Although it has gotten the recognition and the co-sign of many renowned actors in the HMI; however, Karizma has yet to get over the hump.
Karizma has demonstrated great resiliency, especially in a New York market when young bands don’t usually make it to two albums. Karizma is on its second album and seems to show no signs of slowing down.
This video should definitely boost the Karizma’s popularity and help it to become more relevant in other popular Compas cities besides NY.
