Zafèm & Zile Live at Bentley’s: The Dream Black Friday Haitian Party

ree

By Haitianbeatz

Black Friday usually means crowded stores and long lines. This year, it also means pure Kompa joy. On Friday, November 28, Bentley’s night club turns into a home base for Haitian music fans when Zafèm and Zile live hit the stage for a Thanksgiving Weekend party.


You get Reginald Cange, the seasoned voice of Zafèm, and Anie Alerte, the bright star leading Zile, in one room. Two of the greatest voices in Haitian music, side by side, in a club built for live bands and late nights. For HMI fans in the HMI, this feels less like a normal show and more like a wish finally answered.


If you have been searching for an Anie Alerte Black Friday show, or a real Reginald Cange Thanksgiving Weekend party, this Black Friday at Bentley’s is that perfect match. It is romance, groove, and energy, all lined up for one long night of Kompa and live band magic.


Why Zafèm and Zile Make the Perfect Black Friday Lineup


Thanksgiving Weekend is always packed with events. So why does this one stand out so much?

It starts with balance. Zafèm brings depth, soul, and that slow burn Kompa feeling that grabs your heart. Zile brings fresh sparkle, a younger edge, and the kind of energy that makes you forget how late it is. Together, they cover almost every mood a Haitian party can offer.


You get:

  • Romantic Kompa for the couples

  • High energy tracks for the dance floor

  • Live band breaks where the musicians stretch out and play


For many in the Haitian diaspora, this lineup feels like home in one night. It sounds like the songs you grew up hearing at family parties, mixed with the new voices that carry the HMI forward.


Two Powerful Voices Shaping Today’s Haitian Music


At the center of it all, you have two voices that define where Haitian music is right now.

Reginald Cange is a respected veteran. His voice has weight and warmth. He knows how to slide from soft and tender to strong and commanding in one verse. On stage with Zafèm, he gives you:

  • Clear, emotional vocals

  • Smooth phrasing

  • A calm, confident presence


Anie Alerte, with her band Zile, brings a different spark. She sings with heart, but she also moves, smiles, and talks to the crowd. Her range, tone, and charisma make people stop and pay attention, even if they walked in without knowing her name.


Fans call this a dream lineup because both singers are serious vocalists, not just hype artists. They hit the notes, keep the energy, and connect with people in the room. It feels like a real show, not just a party with background music.


A Dream Collab for Fans of HMI, Kompa, and Live Bands


This night pulls in every type of Haitian music lover.


Older Kompa fans hear the live instruments and tight arrangements from Zafèm and feel that old-school pride. Younger HMI fans see Anie Alerte owning the mic with Zile and feel excited about where the music is going. People visiting family for Thanksgiving get a full cultural recharge in one night.


Zafèm leans into deep, soulful songs, the kind that make couples hold each other close. Zile brings more modern flavor, bright hooks, and a bounce that keeps people on their feet. The mix keeps the room from ever going flat.


Slow groove, then uptempo. Love song, then anthem. By the time the night is rolling, the dance floor never really empties.


Get to Know the Artists: Zafèm, Reginald Cange, Anie Alerte, and Zile


Even if you are new to these names, their stories help explain why this Black Friday show matters so much.


Zafèm and Reginald Cange: Heartfelt Kompa and Stage Experience


Zafèm is known for rich, emotional Kompa that feels both modern and classic. The band focuses on strong songwriting, thoughtful lyrics, and arrangements that give each musician room to shine. In a club like Bentley’s, that sound fills the room and wraps around the crowd.


At the front, Reginald Cange adds years of HMI experience. He has sung on big stages, small clubs, and everything in between, and it shows. He knows how to pace a set, when to keep it soft, and when to push the whole room to sing along.


Fans walking into Bentley’s can expect love songs, reflective tracks, and those mid-tempo grooves that make you sway without even thinking about it. Live, his voice cuts through the band and hits you with real feeling.


Anie Alerte and Zile: A Top Rising Star Lighting Up the HMI


On the other side of the bill sits Anie Alerte, the indisputable rising star of this show. When people in the HMI talk about future headliners, her name comes up again and again.


Her style is fearless and warm at the same time. She sings with emotion, but she is also playful, stylish, and very present with her audience. Zile backs her up with a tight live sound, clean rhythms, and arrangements that leave space for her voice to shine.


Fans talk about the first time they saw her live because she leaves a mark. Many have quietly wished to see her share a stage with someone like Reginald Cange. On November 28, that wish becomes a real night out.


This Black Friday, November 28 at Bentley’s is more than just another party. It is a rare chance to see two of the greatest Haitian voices, Reginald Cange and Anie Alerte, share the same stage in a room built for live music.


You get powerful performances, real Kompa, a strong Haitian cultural vibe, and a lineup that HMI fans have called a dream for years. If you love Haitian music, or you just want Thanksgiving Weekend to feel special, this is the night you circle on your calendar.


Grab your tickets, call your friends and family, plan your outfit, and get ready to dance until late. When people talk about this Thanksgiving Weekend months from now, you will want to say, “I was at Bentley’s when Zafèm and Zile shut it down.”
