Bulin 47 and the Haitian singer: Leo Leo Remix

The Haitian singer people look up with Bulin 47 is Afriken An, a rabòday artist from Haiti. Their song is "Leo Leo (Remix)", out on 14 August 2026, which sets Haitian rabòday next to Bulin 47's Dominican dembow. On 17 October 2026 its official video showed 16.4 million views on YouTube, more than "Dame Hombro". In August some Dominicans criticised the collaboration online, and Bulin 47 answered that it was a normal collaboration with no political campaign behind it. The song has nothing to do with the Madrid freestyle; Bulin47Video.io explains it here because new fans of the trend keep finding it.

Who is Afriken An?

A Haitian singer. His Apple Music catalogue goes back to 2019 and is mostly rabòday singles in Haitian Creole, many shared with BMIXX, T-Ansyto and AndyBeatz, plus "Pachikita" (2024) with AndyBeatz and Michaël Brun. "Leo Leo" was his own hook first; the remix brought it to Bulin 47's Dominican audience.

"Afriken" means "African" in Haitian Creole, which is likely why some people search "Bulin 47 y el africano" (our reading). He is Haitian, as the Dominican press describes him.

What is rabòday?

A Haitian rhythm: traditional drum dance music arranged as electronic music, which took shape in Haiti in the mid-2000s (Wikipedia). Dembow, Bulin 47's genre, is the Dominican street beat. The remix puts the two side by side, which is the point of the song and also why it was talked about.

Why it was debated, and his answer

Around 11 August 2026 Dominican outlets reported that the collaboration split opinion on social media (El Nacional, Ensegundos). Asked about it at the premiere of the film "Los Rechazados", in which he appears, Bulin 47 said he respects people who disagree, that it is a normal collaboration with no political or national campaign behind it, and that he is not a racist.

We report what was said and leave the debate to the people in it. Bulin47Video.io has no tie to Bulin 47, Afriken An or 47 Music.
