Kanis — the stage name of Niska Garoute — is an Urban, Rabòday, and Afro-pop artist representing the newest wave of Haitian music, where konpa roots, electronic rabòday energy, and global Afro-pop sounds blend into one. Her presence in the registry spans both the Rap Kreyòl conversation and the modern electronic/DJ scene, reflecting a generation of artists who refuse a single genre label. Kanis embodies the contemporary Haitian artist’s path: fluent in the sounds of the diaspora, connected to the carnival circuit’s energy, and positioned for the global Afro-music moment. As the HMI directory grows, her discography, releases, and chart placements will be documented under this single record.
