The February 9, 2010, Walkup Records release of Bigga Haitian's
Sak Pase on CD had been in the works for months. Following the
earthquake in Haiti, Bigga and Walkup announced that they will
donate all proceeds from downloads of "I Am A Haitian" from Sak
Pase to Yele Haiti to assist with relief efforts. Of the devastation,
Bigga says, "I feel like I need to do something and this is what I
have to offer."
Bigga Haitian was born "Charles Dorismond" in Haiti to a musical
family. His father, Andre Dorismond, was a pioneer of Kompa music
with the Webert Sico Group. Bigga has always exhibited his love
for his native country in his music, starting over 20 years ago with
"Haiti A Weh Mi From" and continuing through today with "I Am A
Haitian."
Bigga's concerns are both national and personal: "It is a tragedy,
so many people suffering. I haven't been able to get through to
family down there." Walkup Records co-founder Brett Smith added,
"Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this disaster.
We are humbled to join Bigga in his efforts on behalf of the Haitian people."
