Release Notes:
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 MontrealÆs 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 drol 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 we 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. Taking his
inspiration from legends such as Bob Marley and
Fela Kuti, Wesli's sound is a well orchestrated mix
of reggae, afro-beat and roots music that bring
forth the same clear message of truth, peace and
justice. Upbeat afro-groove songs such as Sa yo fe
and Neg Makaya speak out about environmental issues
and corruption, while bringing us back to the
musical quality that used to be found in the early
seventies, but with a good modern twist. African
instruments (Cora, Balaphone, Calabash, Talking
drum), Haitian drums (Manman tambou, Segon, Kata)
and great guitar and sax solos add up to make the
whole very elaborate.
