Haiti’s acoustic innovator and social activist channels his home’s deep and diverse Afro-Caribbean roots with catchy, reggae-inflected songs and R&B soul. BélO’s punchy, energetic Ragganga cocktails served up in Creole are a perfect fit for the dance hall or the concert floor. “His mix of reggae with jazz and slicker pop has made him a star both at home and in Europe.” (NY Daily News)
