 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, December 10, 2024
Honoring our music and embracing our culture is something that is vital to the advancement of our community.  The Haitianbeatz (HB) annual event is always an extraordinary event that targets to address both endeavors.  In past years, the  event has highlighted community leaders, as well as showcase our musical talents and upcoming artists.  That is part of the vision that our co-founder Jean Price Vixamar always had for HB.  The “experience” as he used to refer to this event, is an all-encompassing cultural extravaganza to uplift and showcase us, Haiti in all its beauty.   JacobinNoir as so many called him, others drop the Noir and just call him Jacobin/Jaco, while close friends call him Jean.  I call him my brother, best friend, my mon konpè and he was also my business partner and co-founder of Haitianbeatz.com continues to live within me and all aspect of HB. 

This year marks HB’s 16th Anniversary which will sadly be celebrated without Jaco’s physical presence.  Jacobin shocked us when he left this physical earth on December 26, 2020.   As he would’ve have insisted, we will continue to celebrate HB.  This year marks HB’s 16th anniversary, and although Jaco is not with us physically, but we know he is forever present in our minds and spirits. 

As we continue to fulfill our mission to showcase our music and culture, it is in that spirit that we at HB have created an award in Jaco’s name, it is the Jean Price Vixama Award.  This award ts given to individuals or organizations who embodies the spirit of Jaco, and has shown tremendous dedication to the advancement of the Haitian Music Industry and culture.

This year’s recipient of this prestigious award that we started last year is Cynthia Karaha. The event will to be held on Saturday December 21st, at the famous Melrose Ballroom , located in Queens.

Cynthia Karaha is not a musician, but she is a pioneer in the Haitian Music Industry.  She has opened doors and provided her expertise to many in the Haitian Music Industry.  She has worked in various capacity with some of the well-known musicians and other aspect of the Haitian culture.
Cynthia Karaha is a dynamic and versatile figure in the arts and fashion industries. Her multifaceted career spans artist management, music and dance promotion, event production consulting, creative direction, apparel design, and activism. She is also the founder of World Music Promotions, an organization dedicated to global artistic endeavors.
