Renowned artists will participate, such as Dany Laferrière, Bélo, Ti-Corn, Beethova Obas, Paul Beaubrun, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Gessica Généus, Rodney St-Éloi, Emeline Michel and James Germain. A vibrant tribute to the legendary Manno Charlemagne through the complete replay of his last concert at the Festival Haiti en Folie in Montreal in 2009. This reimagined edition will welcome for the first time two of the most popular Haitian DJs Gardy Girault and Michael Brun as well as the artist painter and muralist Maliciouz. The Festival will give the floor to Fabrice Vil, Will Prosper, Fabienne Colas, Déborah Cherenfant, Frantz Voltaire, Bruno Mourral, and many others, on social issues. One will find there several artists of the local scene in replay such as Eddy King, Preach, Mehdi Bousaidan, Dominique Bottex, Garihanna Jean-Louis, Marie-Josée Lord, Jenny Salgado, Wesly, Toto Laraque, Sara Rénélik as well as the Mapou dance troupes Guinen, Ekspresyon and the Aurée Danse Création Troupe! And to spice it all up, culinary workshops with chefs Nadège Fleurimond, Marie Leeds and Paul Toussaint...
A program reinvented in virtual version under the theme of Solidarity, will make you discover the Haitian culture in all its authenticity. Each section that is usually found at the festival will even take place virtually and this, completely free of charge.
Remember that the Festival Haiti en Folie, created by the Fabienne Colas Foundation, is the most important festival outside of Haiti entirely devoted to Haitian culture.
