Michaël Brun makes sold-out ‘Bayo’ stop in Little Haiti

MIAMI — Internationally-renowned producer and DJ Michaël Brun returned to Miami after a 4-year hiatus with a sold-out Bayo tour stop at the Little Haiti Cultural Center, flooding the venue’s block with revelers from all over the Caribbean on Saturday.

For about five hours, the streets came alive during the block party with at least 500 attendees basking in cultural pride and Caribbean sounds, including Haiti’s own konpa, reggae, rap kreyol and raboday. Throughout the night, entertainers Kanis, Troubleboy Hitmaker and Baky hit the stage as special guests, while industry insiders such as Lionel “Ti Lion” Benjamin and B. Simone were spotted mingling with excited fans. To close out the night, a raboday band led participants onto the LHCC block to dance, march, chant and eat in communal joy.

Brun, freshly honored with a Trace Award for “Best DJ” the weekend prior, also received the key to Miami-Dade County.

Here’s a look at the night.
