About
On tour with its brand new album, MAKAYA will make a stop at Resonance Café, for an intimate Creole jazz night.
The second opus of MAKAYA is finally there. ELEMENTS is an acoustic and jazz tribute to the Creole musical heritage. Produced in Montreal, this album features the single ' Gwòg Mwen ‘. One of Haiti's highest mountains, Makaya is also a Montreal-based creole jazz quintet. Nominated in 2010 for the TD Grand Jazz Award, and winner of the bronze medal at the Syli d'Or World Music competition in 2007, Makaya released an eponymic record in 2009. With a grant from the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, Makaya will release the album Elements in February during MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, confirming its position as "a real hope in Creole jazz" (Yves Bernard, Le Devoir).
