Essay on the rise to power of Michel Joseph Martelly, President of Haiti from May 2011 until February 2016. His administration was fraught with corruption, continual street protests and repeated stalled elections for his successor. He is also one of Haiti's best-known popular contemporary musicians, known by the stage name of "Sweet Micky." He 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.
