Haitian Beatz

With Tvice about to release a new album by the end of the month, we caught up with Roberto, band leader, lead singer and asked him a few questions of what to expect from the album and some more.

HB- Can  we get a preview of the album in term of how many songs and the titles?

Berto- There will be 12 Songs on the album. Some of the titles are "Kif Kif" "Tanpri Souple" "Welcome to Haiti" "Tell me Why" "Epi'm pa Bon" "Toi et Moi" "Pou Mwen sel" "This is it" to name a few..

HB- There is always big excitement in the AMI when an artist is about to release an album...one can say it's because the artist feels that millions  are about to be made...but it seems that we don't get the same excitement from the HMI, is it because our industry is not as supportive in term or purchasing CDs compare to the other markets?

Berto- Its different in the HMI because the artists get compensated through playing live instead of cd sales...There is no real structure in the HMI yet to live of cd sales.

HB- I know you spend many countless hours in the studio preparing for an album, do you think you get enough in return for all the hard work that you exert?

Berto- We love what we do although sometimes we are drained after the travels and long studio hours.So far i can say that it's been worth it and hope that it will only get better in the future.

HB- Would you rather make millions on an album and only perform 12 gigs a year...and spend the rest of your time with the family ...rather than performing every weekend?

Berto- Yes why not? :-) It's really hard traveling every weekend, although its fun at times and you get to visit the world but at the same time you don't have a normal personal life at home.

HB- What's the big surprise from this upcoming album?
