Fanm d'Ayiti

by Nathalie Joachim

supported by

wilsontimmy The combination of Nathalie's voice and Spektral Quartet's playing is beautiful.

Haley Myers Listening to this album feels like reading a transportive poem or novel. Nathalie Joachim's voice, flute, and electronics with the Spektral Quartet create a mesmerizing sonic tapestry. Favorite track: Lamizé pa dous.

charleschapple Treat yourself to this intricate heartfelt piece of work. This is an incredibly personal journey that pulls you in to a deep and moving world.

Ryan Conlan Richly woven, delicately surprising, ingeniously arranged, upliftingly beautiful and heartwarming. Traditional Haitian storytelling, inventively fused with orchestral and electronic sounds complementing Nathalie's beautiful singing, all constantly playing rhythmic, melodic counterpoint.

NJ is fantastic in the also-beautiful Eighth Blackbird, but to hear her step out and lead this sonically complete, wonderful album—wow. You never know what other beauty people have to offer the world. Favorite track: Madan Bellegarde.

radiofan Great deep music and one of my favorites of the year 2019 ! Favorite track: Papa Loko (Interlude: September 24, 1918).
