Description
Step into the musical universe of Vanessa Jeudi, where Haitian Vodou rhythms meet Black musical traditions such as blues, jazz, and soul. Inspired by Haiti’s Gede celebrations, this performance invites audiences on a vibrant journey where life and death intertwine, ancestors are honoured, and sensuality, freedom, and extravagance take centre stage. Through powerful vocals, rhythms, and storytelling, Vanessa creates an intimate yet captivating experience that celebrates Haitian culture and spirituality. A musical journey for Haitian audiences to reconnect with their roots and for others to discover Haiti through her music.
Bios
Vanessa Jeudi is a Haitian-born singer whose artistry is shaped by the currents of music, resilience, and remembrance. As a singer-songwriter and performer, she crafts a sound that blends roots, jazz, blues, and Vodou rhythms, forging a dynamic voice steeped in Black musical traditions. Identifying as a decolonial feminist, she uses her voice to represent those who are unseen, unheard, or overlooked.
From major cultural festivals to intimate artistic gatherings, Vanessa Jeudi has graced stages including Carifesta, PAPJAZZ, Rencontres des Musiques du Monde, Festival Quatre Chemins, Festival EnLisant, ART+ Fall Showcase by MAC-CAM, Festi Mosaïque by Mosaique interculturelle, Apéro Biennale at La Maison d’Haïti, and AGIR Outaouais’ 35th Anniversary. Her musical releases, including Nanm, Vèse San, Pran Men w, and Lantouray, reflect an artistic journey in which every project stands as both a political and poetic offering.
Her project in the making, Lakou a la, recipient of the Rencontres de Coproduction DocAmazonie Caraïbe (2023) and the Par Quatre Chemins Artistic Residencies (2024), combines an album and documentary. The project explores Vodou wisdom and takes listeners on a personal journey through Haiti’s lakou, weaving together music, memory, and spirituality.
More than just singing, Vanessa Jeudi channels emotion, forges connections, and seeks liberation through her art.
