A new Haitian star is born! Her name is Modeline Raymond, or Moray for her close friends. The singer-songwriter performed on the Loto-Québec stage at Esplanade Tranquille on Friday evening. It was her very first big stage performance in Montreal, accompanied by a full band, including drums, congas, guitars, backing singers, keyboards and bass. We can enthusiastically say that they rocked!
Once again, the Festival international Nuits d’Afrique is a great opportunity for many emerging artists to build their careers, and to present themselves to a large audience of fans and connoisseurs.
On stage, Moray was in her most authentic and natural element. She sang mainly in Creole, danced well and, without tiring, radiated on stage. Contagious joy! The singer is having fun, inviting the crowd to swirl along with her, in complicity with her band. A lovely summer afternoon of sunny, upbeat Afro-pop sounds and rhythms, Latin soul, and konpa stuck tight, as she candidly puts it!
Modeline Raymond is an artist worth discovering!
