Michel Martelly Sweet Micky- Hits Anthology 2: Plus Grands Succes
Known by his stage name "Sweet Micky," Martelly modernized a style of Haitian dance music known as Compas music (Konpa), sung predominantly in the Haitian Creole language, by using smaller bands relying on synthesizers and electronic instruments. Martelly released over a dozen studio albums between 1989 and 2008 as well as a number of live CDs.
