OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): Lionel Benjamin – Noel La Rive (1989)

It’s the Christmas season again, and we’re bringing the music to you on “Oldies Sunday“! Today’s selection finds us going to our Caribbean neighbour Haiti to check out Lionel Benjamin’s “Noel La Rive“.

Self-Produced and released through LB+ Music in 1989, Lionel Benjamin rang in the holiday season with “Noel La Rive (Christmas Is Coming)“. Backed by some great Instrumentation, Benjamin delivers smooth vocals, encouraging everyone to get into the holiday spirit, and getting you to dance at the same time. “Noel La Rive” became a hit for Lionel Benjamin, and was featured on his 1989 album, “Tonton Nwel“, and a number of Christmas compilations over the years. Lionel Benjamin is one of Haiti’s biggest musical exports who is still active today, and is the Father of the late Haitian Artist/Producer Mikaben.
