WESLI

“WESLI’s super tight band out of Montreal had the crowd jumping out of their seats to a blend of Haitian roots music, reggae, and rap tapping into voodoo, rara, Afrobeat and hip-hop.” – American Blues Scene

JUNO Award-winning singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer WESLI has become one of Haiti’s most inspiring musical ambassadors. Now Montreal-based, his unique compositions blend traditional Haitian rhythms with world music, afrobeat, hip-hop, soul, rara and roots music. He is a winner of the JUNO Award for “World Music Album of the Year” for Rapadou Kreyol (2019), as well as the Félix Award for the “World Music Best Recording” at ADISQ. Last in Victoria touring his JUNO-nominated album Tradisyon in 2025, he now brings his brand new album Makaya to Bullen Park!
