The Fredericton Playhouse is proud to present Haitian-Canadian musician Wesli on February 18th at 7:30pm as part of our  Black History celebrations in NB.

Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Wesli has been playing music since he was just eight years old. Coming from a family of 8 children where music was a daily food for the soul, Wesli used his talent as a unique way to get out of the surrounding ghetto, starting in the gospel choir of his local church.

Now based in Montreal, Wesli brings together a wide range of talents for his music. Be it acoustic or with his big band, he unites Haitian voodoo and rara styles with roots, Afrobeat, and hip-hop styles.

We are excited to be showcasing Wesli for the first time, as the Fredericton Playhouse has partnered with Black-led organizations, the New Brunswick African Association, BOTA-NB, including le Centre Communautaire Ste-Anne to bring you one of the best of Afro-Caribbean artists working today.

Wesli & his team will also lead a dance and drumming workshop for community members of all ages. The workshop will be offered virtually and in-person at the Fredericton Cultural Centre. This event is free, and everyone is welcome.

Tickets for Wesli are available at the Playhouse Box Office in person, or by calling 506-458-8344. For more information on the performance or workshop, visit www.theplayhouse.ca.
