Pou lavni mizik klasik Ayisyen nou an

Onè,rèspè,

M ap salwe tout jenn mizisyen Ayisyen e ki orijin Ayisyen. M ap ankouraje nou aprann mizik peyizan an, mizik pèp Ayisyen an ki se mizik nanm nou. Mwen fè anpil jefò pou mizik nou an. M ap kite tout yon repètwa mizik klasik Ayisyen pou nou anpremye e pou lòt frè ak sò nou sou latè beni.
Aprann sa lòt nanchon fè genyen enpòtans li toutotan noumenm tou nou genyen kapasite lonje patisyon ba yo pou nou di men ki sa nou genyen lakay nou.

M ap pataje ak nou pyès sa mwen ekri depi lane 2012 pou yon òkès senfonik.

Tanpri, enspire nou de mizik lakay nou!

Souf Zanj o

La musique de Septan en 2021

La musique de l’Orchestre Septentrional telle que je l’entends en 2021.

Men mizik Septan jan mwen tande li an 2021.

The music of the Orchestre Septentrional as I hear it in 2021.

Atis pa swiv fanatik. Se fanatik ki swiv atis. Kreyativite mande evolisyon. Evolisyon mizik Septan ponkò janm fèt vre.

DISKOLO: Exclusivement de la musique de danse!

J’ai été toujours fasciné par la richesse et la diversité de notre musique. Aussi, ma grande passion de l’explorer m’a toujours permis de puiser dans une source vraiment inépuisable.

Diskolo: une fusion de la musique “siwèl”, vodou et du rara qui suggère fortement l’ambiance de nos “bandes à pied” qu’on pourra retrouver maintenant dans les clubs.

Mon dernier album EP vous offre six chansons de réjouissances épicées de nos traditions musicales fièrement gardées par nos paysans et les masses haïtiennes.

Adaptation de “Vieux Tonton” de Septentrional

Je crois qu’il serait bon, et je trouve que c’est très beau, d’interpréter des chansons populaires de nos prédécesseurs et de les adapter à partir de nos propres sentiments, émotions et aussi de notre personnelle expérience musicale. Aussi, permettez-moi de vous faire écouter cette adaptation musicale de “Vieux Tonton” de l’orchestre Septentrional. (version instrumentale numérisée.)

Pour le 350ème anniversaire du Cap-Haïtien

La chanson “Cité du Cap-Haïtien” composée par le feu maestro Ultrick Pierre-Louis de l’orchestre Septentrional, est considérée comme l’hymne du Cap-Haïtien, ma ville natale. Aussi, c’est avec une très grande fierté que j’ai arrangé cette merveilleuse composition pour un orchestre philharmonique à l’occasion du 350ème anniversaire de cette belle ville dont l’histoire a marqué le destin de la République d’Haïti, notre merveilleux pays.

Si le présent nous accable, que ce soit donc pour un futur digne de notre glorieux passé!

El Sistema Massachusetts

Proud to have been part of this context organized by El Systema Massachusetts in 2015.

Here is a copy of their answer to my submission:

Dear GI, 

Thank you for your hard work and submission for the 2015 El Sistema Massachusetts Composition Contest. All of the compositions were outstanding and we were hard pressed to choose just one winner.

After a long deliberation and careful consideration for our goals for this project, we have selected the composition What We Will Be by Danielle Williams as the winner of the contest.

Because your composition was so well received, we would be very honored if you would consider allowing your piece to be performed by interested El Sistema programs both in Massachusetts and around the world. If you are interested in such performance and publicity opportunities, please respond, so we can share a few options with you. Once again, thank you for your hard work on writing this piece for us. 

Best, 

Diane Cline. 

The Light Within

Open my heart and see the light within
Open my heart and see this light shining
It’s feeding my soul with love
Will you hold my hand
For I’m just a friend
Passing through this land
Before reaching the stars?
High in the sky
There in the heavens
I’ll be shining some day
From this light within
Open my heeart and see the light within
Open my heart and see this light shining
It’s feeding my soul with love
With love , with love

Lyrics and Music by Gifrants.

Some Vodou Djaz (Voodoo Jazz)

Yep! For four years, from 1990 to 1994, I have approached this genre within the spectrum of Haitian music. It is a fusion of voodoo rhythms and Jazz from the improvisational aspect of the latter. The name of the band then was “Gifrants, Sanba Daki” and I had the privilege to have the collaboration of extremely talented musicians such as: Jimmy Daniel on drums, Jean-Baptiste “Bonga” Gaston on percussion, Jacqz Vincent on keys, Carol Chaikin on flute, soprano and tenor sax, Steve…. (He played with Little Richard for some time) and I was the singer and the guitarist.

This genre was “hot”. We have recorded one of our rehearsals and sent to Larry Brown of SOB’s and to Nell’s. We did have a gig at both places which was pretty amazing at that time. Here are two tracks of live recording at “La Chaumière” in Queens, NY.
