“Nominated for a GRAMMY award in the Best World Music Album category, Fanm d’Ayiti is one of the most personal and genuine albums released this year. The album ranges from delightfully off-kilter ostinati accompanying the girl’s choir from her family’s village of Dantan (“Alléluia” from Suite pour Dantan) to stripped down unaccompanied vocals (Lamizè Pa Dous) to the voices of influential women professing, ‘Have faith in yourself and keep going…don’t ever feel inferior.’ Part ethnomusicological exploration and part personal discovery, Fanm d’Ayiti is an absolute triumph.”
