Nuits d’Afrique | Shatta Initiation with Blaiz Fayah

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Dancehall / Reggae

Additional Information

This will be a Montreal and Canadian premiere for Blaiz Fayah, an artist who will be bringing us shatta, dancehall from Martinique, as well as reggae and its other derivatives. For the occasion, he’ll be accompanied by his two dancers and his musicians for a festive evening, as he intends to set the place alight. With the release of his album Shatta Ting this year, his notoriety is well established, especially in Latin America, but now it’s Canada’s turn to discover this man who multiplies his hits. Our journalist Sandra Gasana joined him in Paris by videoconference for PANM360.
