Haitian street rap artist MiG Arogan says his latest single, Moon Under Me, draws directly from Haitian and African ancestral traditions, blending music with elements of spiritual ceremony.
The track, released with a ritual-themed video, has reached more than 1.5 million views within 10 days of its debut.
Speaking on the meaning behind the song, MiG described it as “more spirit than man,” referencing the guiding presence of figures such as Papa Legba, Kalfou, and Baron Samedi.
“These are not just names,” he said. “They are forces that guide the message and energy of the song.”
The video incorporates ceremonial imagery, including candles, ocean backdrops, and symbolic altars. MiG said the intention was to create “a living ritual” on screen, translating the themes of the lyrics into visual form.
Viewers have shared and replayed the video across platforms, with MiG noting that the response reflects “a connection to both the music and the traditions it represents.” He added that Moon Under Me is part of a broader effort to integrate cultural heritage into contemporary street rap while maintaining authenticity in its representation.
