He was reportedly given CPR but later died.
Mikaben was a respected singer, guitarist, composer, and producer whose hit song “Ayti Se” went global in the aftermath of Haiti’s devastating 2010 earthquake.
“He was so happy. He couldn’t wait to get on that stage with CaRiMi. It was one of his biggest accomplishments in life. It’s a band that he idolised,” Martino told the outlet.
