Beven brings Haïti among the elite of world slam

This Thursday, November 14, 2024, the young slam artist Youven Beaubrun, Beven by his stage name, qualified Haiti, for the very first time in its history, for the final of the Slam World Cup. This competition, which brings together the best slam artists on the planet, took place on African soil, more precisely in Togo. In a country held by the throat, a country that is dying from start to finish, under the dangerous feat of a certain armed part of its youth, Beven’s extraordinary performance in this competition resonates with the echo of a whole piece of the country, in the thirst for beauty. Beven is the symbol of a youth that refuses to give in to the chaos that surrounds the face of its motherland. Art, slam being his field of specialization, is used in the best possible way to make hope resonate. And to continue to believe that a country that made 1804 cannot afford the luxury of sinking so hard in the face of human history. "It is with pride that I advanced in this competition. Especially with the crisis that is going through the country at the moment. My qualification for the final is an eternal sign of hope, which confirms the fact that not everything in this country will end in death," the young slammer told us before going to compete in the final. The final took place on Saturday, November 16, 2024, where Beven had his chance to represent his wounded land well on the doorstep of a world victory, a victory that if it had taken place, would have been initialed in the name of an entire people, in the absolute race against a great chaos that dreams only of suffocating it. Although he failed to win this cup (finishing in sixth place overall), the Haitian slam champion had time to inspire an entire country during his great journey in this competition. This is only a postponement, next time victory will be achieved for sure.

Haïti / Ganthier: I Let You In, an Ode to Modern Relationships by Igens VIL

The Meaning of the Essence of Love The commune of President Boniface Alexandre and Martial CELESTIN produces a talented artist. Yes, Ganthier stands out as one of its best representatives on the international scene. "I Let You In" is a title that lays bare the complexity of heterogeneous relationships around the world. This opus, both provocative and touching, awakens the mind, body and soul. I am deeply moved by the way in which the artist Igens VIL, a true emblematic figure of Ganthier, evokes intense emotions and provokes reflection on the issues of contemporary romantic relationships. Each verse of this composition, co-written with Dayvin Kaponda, contains profound messages about tolerance towards others, our aspirations and ambitions, the true foundations of authentic love. It is the very essence of life. Despite the tumults of daily life and the inevitable misunderstandings in human relationships, he reminds us that “in my life, there is always a me; I have tried everything. Even if it means taking a step back, I am ready to do it. And if it means, I will get down on my knees”. The singer, who spent a large part of his adolescence in Galette-Chambon, the first communal section of the commune of Ganthier, is now active in the French music industry. He eloquently and skillfully addresses the complex triangle of sentimental relationships: sacrifice, tolerance and communication. This remarkable work deserves to be heard everywhere; it inspires faith, reflection and action. Gensbe, known as Igens VIL, deserves awards for this song. Guitarist, singer, composer and academic in France, he embodies a rare mix of talents for a young Haitian engaged in these demanding fields that require time, sacrifice and a lot of energy. Today, Gensbe is at his peak and never gives up. More songs are in the works for you, dear listeners. Subscribe to Gensbe on YouTube and other platforms. He is without a doubt one of the best Haitian artists among the big international names. I’ll let you in.
