Wesli

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.
