Sweet Micky : ウィキペディア英語版
Michel Martelly

Michel Joseph Martelly (born 12 February 1961〔) is a Haitian politician, former musician and businessman. Since May 2011, he is the President of Haiti, having been one of Haiti's best-known musicians for over a decade, going by the stage name "Sweet Micky". For various reasons, Martelly has moved a number of times between the United States and Haiti, living primarily in Florida during his time in the US.
As a singer and keyboardist, "Sweet Micky" is known for his compas music, a style of Haitian dance music sung predominantly in the Haitian Creole language, but he blended this with other styles. Martelly popularized a "new generation" of compas with smaller bands relying on synthesizers and electronic instruments. From 1989 to 2008, Martelly recorded over a dozen studio albums and a number of live CDs. As a musician and club owner in Haiti in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Martelly became associated with the Duvalierist Haitian military and police, including figures such as police chief Michel François, and he agreed with the 1991 Haitian coup d'état against Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In 1995, after Aristide had been restored to office, Martelly's name appeared on a hit list of Duvalier supporters, and he stayed away from Haiti for almost a year. During this time, he released a song, "Prezidan" (on the album ''Pa Manyen''), "an exuberant ditty that called for a president who played compas".〔 However, he did not run for political office until 2010, when he became a candidate for President of Haiti.
Martelly won the Haitian general election, 2010–2011 for his party Repons Peyizan (''Farmers' Response Party''), after a run-off against candidate Mirlande Manigat. Martelly had come in third in the first round of the election, until the Organization of American States forced Jude Célestin to withdraw due to alleged fraud. Martelly assumed his position of the President of Haiti on 14 May 2011. His election campaign included a promise to reinstate the nation's military, which had been abolished in the 1990s by Aristide.
== Early life ==
Martelly was born in Port-au-Prince, the middle-class son of Gerard Martelly, a Shell Oil executive.〔Michael E. Miller, 9 June 2011, ''New Times Broward-Palm Beach'', (Michel Martelly Is Haiti's New President. But the Former Palm Beach County Resident Has a Dark Side )〕 On his mother's side, his grandfather Auguste de Pradine was a troubadour〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=His Music Rules in Haiti: Sweet Micky's provocative music moves Haitians with an infectious beat and political overtones )〕 who wrote comic protest songs against the 1915-34 United States occupation of Haiti.〔 After graduating from high school at the Institution of Saint Louis de Gonzague, Martelly enlisted in the Haitian Military Academy, but (according to Martelly) was expelled after impregnating the god-daughter of a general.〔 In 1984, he moved to the United States, and worked in construction and briefly attended community college in Miami.〔 In 1986, after one semester, he returned to Haiti just as Jean-Claude Duvalier, then president-for-life, was heading into exile. In 1987, Martelly returned to Miami with his then-girlfriend, Sophia Saint-Rémy,〔 whom he later married in a small ceremony in Miami, Florida. They returned to Haiti in 1988.〔
Upon his return to Haiti, Martelly had his first breakthrough in the music industry when he began playing keyboard as a fill-in musician in local venues in Pétionville and Kenscoff, upscale suburbs of Port-au-Prince.〔Ackerman, Elise. ("His Music Rules in Haiti: Sweet Micky's provocative music moves Haitians with an infectious beat and political overtones" ). ''Miami New Times''. 29 May 1997. Retrieved 3 February 2011.〕〔Balmaseda, Liz. (The Sweet Life of Michel Martelly ) ''Palm Beach Post'' archived on FindArticles.com. 2007. Retrieved 7 May 2011.〕 Martelly "sang playful, romantic numbers over a slow méringue beat called compas, the only music allowed under the Duvaliers."〔 After the 1991 Haitian coup d'état saw the expulsion of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, "Martelly opened a Petionville club called the Garage, where he entertained many of the coup's main architects, including the much-feared chief of national police, Michel François, later convicted in absentia for massacring Aristide supporters. François liked Martelly's music so much that he allegedly lent the singer his own nickname: 'Sweet Micky.'"〔
