Scène TD - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

«Un pied en Haïti, un pied au Canada, un bras dans le passé et un autre dans le futur : Wesli prouve un peu plus qu’il aime embrasser “l’immensité de la musique”» (Le Devoir, 2022). Figure de proue de la musique haïtienne, ce chanteur et multi-instrumentiste, as de la guitare, génie des arrangements, navigue entre les genres avec une intention bien affirmée: protéger et hisser bien haut les couleurs des traditions rasin et twoubadou. Cet érudit passionné des rythmes, lauréat d’un Juno, d’un Félix et du Prix Coup de cœur de l’Académie Charles-Cros, en France, expose le folklore sous de nouveaux jours et explore en profondeur la culture de la Perle des Antilles, orchestrant ses rythmiques banda, rara, petro, nago tantôt de manière acoustique, tantôt de manière électrique, avec des influences reggae, funk et électro.

“One foot in Haiti, the other in Canada; one arm reaching towards the past, and the other towards the future: Wesli proves yet again just how much he loves to embrace ‘music’s magnitude’” (Le Devoir, 2022). A leading figure in Haitian music, this singer and multi-instrumentalist is a brilliant guitarist and ingenious arranger who moves between genres, guided by a strong desire to protect and proudly showcase the sounds of rasin and twoubadou music. A born scholar and rhythms aficionado, winner of numerous awards, including a Juno, a Félix, and the Coup de Coeur prize from France’s Académie Charles-Cros, Wesli shines new light on Haiti’s folk heritage and delves deeply into the culture of the Pearl of the Antilles, bringing banda, rara, petro and nago traditions to life both acoustically and electrically, while introducing reggae, funk and electro elements.

CE SPECTACLE EST GRATUIT!
