SUNRISE, Fla. – Music history will come alive on Friday, March 21, 2025 as the legendary CARIMI ignites the stage at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Floridawith an electrifying last performance in the U.S. as part of their historic reunion tour. The show begins at 7 p.m. (ET) and promises an unforgettable night filled with passion, rhythm and nostalgia. Tickets go on sale at SeatGeek.com this Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 10 a.m. (ET). 

 

Since bursting onto the scene in 2001, CARIMI—an acronym for Carlo Vieux, Richard Cavé, and Mickael Guirand—has captivated audiences with their fresh blend of konpa and contemporary sounds. Their chart-topping hits, including "Ayiti (Bang Bang)," "Are You Ready?" and "Player," have become anthems of celebration, resilience, and cultural pride for fans across the globe.

 

CARIMI's music became the soundtrack of a generation, bringing people together in moments of joy, reflection, and connection. With their reunion tour already delivering a sold-out show at UBS Arena in New York, anticipation for the South Florida stop is sky-high.

 

“This tour is about reliving those unforgettable moments, celebrating the songs that defined an era, and being inspired by the rhythms that have always moved us,” said Carlo Vieux, co-founder and vocalist of CARIMI.  Richard Cavé reflected on their success in New York: “If you thought that show was amazing, you haven’t seen anything yet! Florida, you don’t want to miss this.” Mickael Guirand, lead vocalist, added: “The energy in New York was incredible. Florida, we know you’ll show up and show out. This show will be one for the books!”

 

“This event is a perfect celebration of love, appreciation, and togetherness,” said Jay Upscale, founder of Konpa Kingdom, which is producing the tour.
