On Saturday, October 15, Accor Hotel Arena hosted the reforming Caribbean band Kompa Carimi on this occasion after 6 years of separation. However, as the show was in full swing, singer Mikaben, whose real name is Michael Benjamin, fainted on stage.
The 41-year-old singer, who had a heart attack, died in the evening. Emergency service teams were dispatched to the scene and attempted to perform heart massage. A shock to the public in the hall. Since the disappearance was announced, the tributes have been pouring in.
His wife, who was pregnant with her second child, broke the silence. Vanessa Fanfan writes on social media: “I lost my other half and I don’t have words anymore”. She has had the opportunity to thank the thousands who have sent messages of support and condolence, but now asks her grief to be respected. “Thank you for your prayers, but please stop calling me. I’m in no condition to speak.”, he tells. The couple got married in November 2020.
Originally from Port-au-Pribce in Haiti, Mikaben was a highly recognized and appreciated artist in the Caribbean. Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry shared a beautiful tribute on Twitter after her death was announced: “This is a great reference to the fading Haitian music. The country and the youth of Haiti have lost a beautiful soul”.
Composer, singer and producer Mikaben was both happy and excited about this Paris concert. A few hours before going on stage, he filmed himself during the stage setup in the beautiful hall of the Accor Hotel Arena. She posted the video on her Instagram account and subsequently had over a million followers.
