This March, we are ultra-mega-stoked to be making our Big Ears debut with the stunning Nathalie Joachim and her Fanm d’Ayiti!
We’ve been fans of flutist/singer/composer Nathalie Joachim for ages, but it just so happens that our first collaboration materialized for a project in which she is investigating her Haitian heritage in the most breathtaking way. Through a network of poignant interviews, field recordings, and nimble new arrangements of original songs, Nathalie assembles a mesmerizing sonic exhibition of the (largely) unheralded female singers of Haiti. With her grandmother’s voice as the leaping-off point, Fanm d’Ayiti (“Women of Haiti”) celebrates powerful women – in revolution, on stage, or in the home – blending electronics, recorded sound, a live string quartet (hi!), and Nathalie’s own voice in an irrepressible and captivating melange.
