T… Read Full Bio ↴T-Vice is a Haitian Compas music band that is based in Miami, Florida.
The musical group was formed in 1991 by brothers Roberto and Reynaldo Martino, sons of renowned Haitian guitarist Robert Martino of the classic Top Vice band, T-Vice's predecessor. Longtime friends James Cardozo and Gerald Kebreau were soon part of the group thus completing the quartet as they were originally known to be. Roberto and Reynaldo had thought of the idea of creating their own group through the musical influence and inspiration they received from Top Vice in which their father was the lead guitarist.
T-Vice revolutionized the genre of konpa with the energetic party vibe they brought to the scene. Musical influences from reggae, merengue, flamenco and modern synthesizing from rock 'n' roll have made the group one of the most innovative musicians of the genre. The group's performances have led them to become the current face behind the music in large part due to their international touring. The band has traveled to European, and Caribbean countries, as well as U.S states for concerts. The band's debut album "Konpa Kontak" was a hit among konpa listeners. In October 2006, T-Vice released a new album titled Kité'm Viv.
T-Vice has collaborated with other Haitian konpa bands such as Carimi and their rival Djakout Mizik. The group appeared in the hit single Party By The Sea along with rapper Wyclef Jean and Jamaican reggae artist Buju Banton.
Many sought to attribute the band's success to their relationship with patriarch Robert Martino, as well as the steadfast managerial genus of the Martino brothers' mother Jessie Al-Khal and their uncle Pierrot Al-Khal. T-Vice were victimized in the late 90s by a vicious rumor which was later proven to have been fabricated. It was widely believed that a jealous rival had begun the falsehood. T-Vice has also been involved in a noticeably ongoing "feud" with successful Konpa band Djakout Mizik. However, regardless of their supposed ongoing feud, members of both group share an amically professional friendship.
Over the years, T-Vice has become one of the most successful konpa bands of the modern era.

Alam mo namang mahal kita
Hindi mo naman napupuna na nandito lang ako
Kumakatok sa puso mo
Pero ito parin ako
Pinipilit ko sarili ko nahihirapan na ko
Kaya ayoko na sayo (weh)
Ayoko na sayo (weh oh)
Oh oh (oh)
Ayoko na sayo (ayoko na sayo)
Di nga makatulog sa kagabi
Di na makakain eh kasi
Palagi ka sa ulo ko ta's bababa sa puso ko
Tingnan mo nga itsura ko
Di ko na alam pangalan ko sa kaiisip sa iyo
Kaya ayoko na sayo (weh)
Oh oh (oh)
Ayoko na sayo oh oh (weh oh)
Ayoko na sayo (ayoko na sayo)
Ilan ba naman ang barbecue
Ilan ba namang mountain dew
Sa kalilibre ko sayo
Ubos na ang pera ko kapag kausap mo naman
Kapag tumingin ng naka smile ay eto parin ako
Nagpapa-cute parin sayo (weh)
Oh oh (oh)
Ayoko na sayo oh oh (weh oh)
Ayoko na sayo (ayoko na sayo)
Bakit ba ikaw pa ang pinili ng puso kong ito
Sa dami ng tao sa mundo
Tadhana ba ito
Bat ba ako nilalamig
Bat ba ako nanginginig
Namamatay na ba ako pag may lumalandi sayo
Di naman ako napapraning
Di naman ako humihiling pero bakit ganito
Sumisikip ang dibdib ko
Oh oh ayoko na sayo (oh weh)
Oh oh ayoko na sayo (oh weh)
Oh oh ayoko na sayo (oh weh)
Oh oh ayoko na sayo (oh weh)
Oh oh ayoko na sayo
Oh
The lyrics to T-Vice's song "Moun sa yo" express the turmoil of unrequited love. The singer is deeply in love with someone who either does not notice or does not reciprocate their feelings. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been trying to get the attention of the person they love for some time, but they have met with no success. Despite their efforts, they find that they are struggling to maintain their sense of self and need to separate themselves from the object of their desire in order to regain their emotional balance.
The singer describes being unable to sleep or eat because they are preoccupied with thoughts of the person they love. The singer seems unable to stop thinking about the object of their affection even though they know that it is causing them pain. The repeated refrain of "ayoko na sayo" ("I don't want you anymore") underscores the singer's struggle to move on.
The song suggests that the intensity of the singer's love is costly to them in tangible ways. They have spent money and time on the object of their affection, and have suffered emotionally as well. Despite this cost, they find themselves unable to break free from their love for this person.
Overall, the song is a poignant expression of the pain and longing that can accompany unrequited love. It captures the sense of helplessness and despair that can come with unreciprocated feelings, and the difficulty of moving on from someone who occupies so much emotional space.

Alam mo bang ikaw lang ang hinihiling ng puso ko
Do you know that you're the only one my heart desires?
Alam mo namang mahal kita
You already know that I love you
Hindi mo naman napupuna na nandito lang ako
You don't even notice that I'm right here
Kumakatok sa puso mo, pero ito parin ako
Knocking on your heart, but I'm still here
Pinipilit ko sarili ko nahihirapan na ko
I'm trying to hold on, but it's getting harder
Kaya ayoko na sayo (weh)
That's why I don't want you anymore
Di nga makatulog sa kagabi
I couldn't even sleep last night
Di na makakain eh kasi
I couldn't even eat anymore
Palagi ka sa ulo ko ta's bababa sa puso ko
You're always on my mind and then in my heart
Tingnan mo nga itsura ko
Just look at how I look right now
Di ko na alam pangalan ko sa kaiisip sa iyo
I don't even remember my own name when I think of you
Ilan ba naman ang barbecue
How many barbecues have I had
Ilan ba namang mountain dew
How much Mountain Dew have I consumed
Sa kalilibre ko sayo, ubos na ang pera ko
I spent all my money treating you and now it's gone
Kapag kausap mo naman, kapag tumingin ng naka smile ay eto parin ako
Even when you talk to me or smile, I'm still here
Nagpapa-cute parin sayo (weh)
I'm still trying to be cute to you
Bakit ba ikaw pa ang pinili ng puso kong ito
Why did my heart choose you?
Sa dami ng tao sa mundo, tadhana ba ito
Out of all the people in this world, is this fate?
Bat ba ako nilalamig, bat ba ako nanginginig
Why do I feel cold and shaking?
Namamatay na ba ako pag may lumalandi sayo
Am I dying inside when someone flirts with you?
Di naman ako napapraning, di naman ako humihiling pero bakit ganito
I'm not paranoid, I'm not even asking, but why is this happening?
Sumisikip ang dibdib ko
My chest is tightening
Oh oh ayoko na sayo
Oh oh, I don't want you
