About
Trailblazer of Kompa in New York.
Saurel Celestin's career spans over 20 years across the Tri-State and Florida — a leading entrepreneur in Caribbean entertainment and a tireless advocate for Haitian culture.
His residencies put many establishments on the NYC nightlife map — Brasserie Creole in 1995, Katra (eleven years of Kompa Tuesdays), Milk River (four years of Kompa Thursdays), Taj III, Club Mix, Dream Hotel, the Carlton — and headline cultural moments at Gracie Mansion. He is a pioneer of the Haitian Day Party, now celebrated across the USA.
