After nearly three years away from the spotlight, beloved Haitian artist Wanito has returned to the music scene with a bang. The hitmaker, known for his soulful voice and catchy rhythms, dropped his new single “Gason Malen” in 2026, complete with an official music video that is already generating strong buzz across Haitian platforms and streaming services.
Born Juanito Beaubrun in Jérémie, Haiti, Wanito rose to prominence as a talented singer-songwriter blending reggae, kompa, soul, and Haitian roots music. His thoughtful lyrics and accessible melodies have earned him a dedicated fanbase that spans generations often compared to a modern voice for everyday Haitian stories.
Wanito first captured widespread attention with his debut album Biyografi Mwen and a string of infectious hits that dominated Haitian airwaves. Among his standout tracks are Blokis, M Vle Parenn (a massive anthem), Tounen Nan Baz Ou, Kisa M Te Fè W Ki Mal, and others like Kotew Te Ye and Bezwen Mennaj. These songs showcased his ability to mix heartfelt storytelling with danceable grooves, cementing his status as one of Haiti’s successful hitmakers.
Fans had been eagerly awaiting his return, and “Gason Malen” delivers exactly what they hoped for a confident, energetic track that feels like a bold reintroduction.
