I play the Kora, a 21 string harp - lute from West Africa. As the storytellers of West Africa (Griots) shared the history of their people through music with the Kora for 70 generations, I would like to take you on a journey through the 21 strings of this harp, and how I´ve become a reflection of the world, as a female storyteller. Singing in Haitian Creole, the native language of my family enables me to be even more connected to the musical storytelling tradition of my ancestors. I also sing in Spanish and English to make a connection with the listener, at various angles. Composing original music, a fusion of world, classical, soul and jazz music. I am one of few women to play this instrument professionally. The Kora, is an instrument that was only played by men for the last 7 centuries. Only a few women of this generation are breaking barriers that have been placed centuries ago.

​

The vision is to complete my album Vizyon 21 (Vision) independently, in studio. Combining live instruments with a 21-piece orchestra, choir, my Kora (African Harp), my voice, Udu ceramic drum from Nigeria and guest musicians to incorporate Violin, Bass Guitar, Congas and piano for particular tracks.
