BEST LOCAL HAITIAN BAND
Nu-Look




These are tough times for the people of Haiti. And it's not just the
Caribbean nation that's in turmoil. The axis of Kreyol culture seems to have
spun off balance here in Miami, at least when it comes to the local compas
scene. First, the beloved and highly popular Gracia Delva, lead singer for
the top-rated band Zenglen, gets caught up in the indiscriminate net of
Homeland Security and is sent back to Haiti. Then one of Miami's other top
compas acts, D'Zine, disbands after failing to form a supergroup with
members of Zenglen. Now, thanks to the efforts of DJ Paz and DJ Lucky,
matters become even less linear. Taking members from D'Zine, the two DJs
have mixed in just the right amount of sweet hip-hop harmony to form
Nu-Look, a band that has stormed Miami and is also hitting stages in New
York, Boston, and the Bahamas. But watch out. Delva may return at any time,
and rumors of a new band called Hang Out contribute to continued chaos.
