BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Haiti, world music artist Wesli comes up as a strong player in this new generation of artists. Multi talented singer, guitar player, percussionist, producer and arranger, he is described as Montreal’s revelation. Founding hope through his devotion to music, having grown up in a poor and violent ghetto of Haiti, he is inspiring a better future for younger generations. His debut album “Kouraj” is a powerful testimony including songs such as “Ghetto”, “La vi dròl” and the title song “Kouraj”, in which he exposes the struggle of the every day life, the actual situation in Haiti (extreme poverty, kidnappings,
environment…) and the importance of reaching for higher grounds. The majority of the songs are sung in a brilliant Creole and French with one English cut “Na wè yo”, that speaks out about the forgotten people of Africa in its past exploitations and conflicts and the actual and constant race for basic life conditions and equalities. As for all of true world music and reggae fans, the message is universal and shouldn't be limited by language.
