American-Haitian singer Mickael Marabou has reiterated that she is all set to make impact in the lives of Africans, especially Nigerians and Ghanaians with her philanthropy.
She has worked with numerous non-profit organizations raising money for food, school supplies and other basic needs of vulnerable less privileged people across Haiti since the inception of her career.
Mickael Marabou says she is looking forward to doing the same in Africa, she averred. “I am extremely excited to be able to help the people in Ghana and Nigeria and establish the infrastructure for future charitable missions,” Marabou declared.
Speaking affectionately about Africa, the Brooklyn-born Haitian said: “My main purpose for travelling to the continent is simply to connect with the people. I enjoy mingling with them, sharing the amazing culture of Africa and getting involved in activities that bring me closer to Africans across the continent.”
Declaring her affinity for African artistes, Mickael Marabou, said her move is borne out of her desire to connect with her African roots.
“Majority of Haitians have African roots and some of us daily yearn to connect with our “motherland”.
Continuing, she said: “My music brings me closer to Africa. I am at home with the Afrobeat sound, and I feel a close kinship with African artistes. I am convinced music can be used to bridge the gap between Haitians and continental Africans.”
Her two recent popular hits, “Fever” (2019) and “Mamma” (2020) featured African acts Skales (Nigeria), The Ghetto Kids (Uganda) and BM alias the King of Afrobeat Dance (Congo). Her inimitable style of blending afrobeat with Kreyol into a unique sound (which she described as “AfroKreyol”) has made her an international sensation.
