Bouyon vocalist · Triple Kay International member

Benji

Benji — also credited as Khalibu — is one of the lead voices of Triple Kay International, the Dominican Bouyon band that turned the genre into a stage machine starting in 2000. His voice carries several of the group's road march anthems, those choruses built for trucks, Carnival, fetes where the crowd sings along. Without Triple Kay, modern Bouyon doesn't have the same colour — and without Benji, Triple Kay doesn't have the same sound.

Why this profile matters

In 2000, when Kendel "Killa" Laurent puts Triple Kay International together, Benji joins the lead vocals alongside Tazzy and Sweet Ticky. Five years later, the band blows up: "Sewo" becomes the signature anthem, and Triple Kay sweeps Band of the Year and Song of the Year at the Flamboyant Awards 2005. That's when Bouyon shifts gears: it walks out of the WCK 1990s and steps into the full stage form — complete bands, dense rhythm sections, lead voices carrying the entire Caribbean Carnival. Benji's career keeps rolling, and in 2025, when Caribbean press celebrates the band's 25 years, he's still one of the voices defining modern Bouyon on stage.
