With five critically acclaimed albums under his belt, the singer-songwriter BélO has been hailed as Haiti's musician ambassador to the world. BélO is a visionary practitioner of ragganga-a sublime mixture of jazz, worldbeat, rock, reggae, and Afro-Haitian traditional rhythms. Come experience a master songsmith who transforms roots music into a global phenomenon, blending Caribbean and West African rhythms with melodies that soar when sung in his native language, Haitian Creole.

To me, the future of Haiti really depends on Haitians...and that's why, in my music, I keep saying: The change that everybody is hoping for is not coming from above. It is something we have to create." - BelO
