Djakout Mizik is a Haitian compas band that helped popularize a new electronic section of the compas genre called nouvelle génération (new generation).[1] [2] [3] The band drew inspiration from earlier compas music artists like System Band and Tabou Combo.[4]
On New Year's Eve 2007, they performed with Wyclef Jean on MTV, which was their first exposure on a nationally-televised American network.[5] In 2010, Djakout Mizik divided into two distinct bands; one retained the original name "Djakout Mizik", with the second band taking the name "Djakout #1".
