In 2004, a group of young and talented musicians from diverse backgrounds found themselves together in a rehearsal. They discovered a common bond and an incredible chemistry. Through a great love for music and a shared vision to create something unique, they started to practice weekly. The collaboration has given birth to a band: MaWoN.
Playing a wide range of rhythms that span from Traditional Haitian Roots, to Konpa, Reggae and R&B, they have a universal appeal that is building a great following in the community.
The name MaWoN stems from Haitian history, it is the name of the first group of slaves to escape the plantations, head to the mountains, and form their own communities. Their rebellion eventually led to the freedom movement and the formation of the first free black republic in the World. When asked, they will tell you that: “ MaWoN is a cultural rebellion, a refusal to accept boundaries and categories. Our culture is so rich, we have so many distinct rhythms that it is impossible for us not to incorporate them into our sound, but we are not limited by anything. We just want to present good music to the World.” Their musical poems and distinctive sound keep you engaged and bring you to the heart of subjects stemming from love, to world events, to the issues surrounding Haiti and the Third World.
They are currently in the studio recording their first album. They have already created a buzz in the community from their many local performances and the album is highly anticipated. With the explosive combination of great musicians, powerful lyrics, and original sound they seem destined to become a major force in World Music.
