Updated December 27, 2012 5:36 PM

Who is Eline Fleury? Marie Eline Fleury was born and orphan in Port-Au-Prince on January 28th. She made her traditional studies in Haiti at College Fernand and the C.E.C. She spent four years studying Economics with the IHECE. Eline went on to work as a professional radio host for "Radio Soleil" and "Radio IBO." She stimulated her audience on a daily basis. In July 2004 Eline founded "ELINE ENTERPRISE," a company of musical animation and spectacle production, with Lebel Junior Jean Baptiste, Chief Operating Officer. Since Eline was a little girl, she took pleasure in singing. She said to herself that becoming a singer is what she really want. Eline performed with several groups and sang in the church. She later decided that she would no longer perform with the groups and decided to go solo. Then she started to make piano bar. Towards the end of the year 2004 and the beginning of the year 2005, Eline released first single, "Mete m Nan Agenda W." A couple of years later in January 2007, she would go on to relase her second single, "Kafe Griye."

This song was written by Nadege Beauvil. It tells of the situation of "restaveks", children in domesticity in Haiti, which is a form of disguised slavery. Each one can find its share if one considers the constraints which we received in our spheres of activities, the sacrifices which we make to have of success and the hope that we have in a better tomorrow. "Each person waits until their star shines " while he shouts "men kafe griye!" If you want to personalize the song, then you just have to replace "men kafe griye" with whatever you want to succeed in life.
