Buzz
by Carimi · 2009 · kompa · 4:37 · Haitian Creole, French
Carimi published the official “Buzz” video through Mickael Guirand’s channel in October 2009. Its title takes an internet-era word for circulating talk, attention, or noise, fitting a New York band that understood connections among kompa, diaspora, video, and early social networks. Across more than four and a half minutes, voices, keyboards, and tight cadence give that compact word a bal form. The track takes digital communication’s speed and places it inside the machinery of a band needing to hold dancers together.
