Be it acoustic or with his big band\, he unites Haitian voodoo and rara styles with roots\, Afrobeat\, and hip-hop styles. \nWe 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. \nWesli & 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. \nTickets for Wesli are available at the Playhouse Box Office in person\, or by calling 506-458-8344.
