Se Nowèl feat. Lionel Benjamin
by Mikaben · 2022 · kompa, kompa-gouyad · 3:13 · Haitian Creole, French
“Se Nowèl” places Mikaben beside his father, Lionel Benjamin, in a recording released eight weeks after Mikaben's death in 2022. The video title gives both names equal standing, and Mikaben's channel preserves their duet in three minutes and thirteen seconds. Kompa and gouyad give the Christmas song movement, while the family link carries documented weight: Lionel was one of Haiti's major singers, and music was the language of Michael Benjamin's childhood home. The page is both a seasonal song and a record of father-to-son transmission.
