BélO is an on-the-rise Haitian singer, songwriter, and musician who since winning the Best Discovery of 2006"" prize from Radio France International has performed to audiences across Africa, Europe, the USA and the Caribbean. One of the most well-regarded young artists in his beloved homeland of Haïti, Jean Belony Murat aka ""BélO"" is a 30-year-old socially-minded ragga/folk singer (he calls it ragganga) whose message of peace and unity resonates across all cultures and whose music reflects resiliency and the spirit of his nation, especially post-earthquake. ""Haïti Debout"" is dedicated to Haïti and the strength of the Haïtian people. With this his third album, Bélo took a step further into the roots sound exploring the Haïtian ""Rasin"" rhythms and African flavours where we notice the presence of the talking drum and other similar percussions. During his travels, BélO met numerous musicians who wanted to share the love he has for his country by contributing a part of their culture to the album hence Blick Bassy from Cameroon, Sael from Martinique and Thierry Fanfant from Guadeloupe, plus several musicians from Africa and his usual Haïtian entourage.
