Buyu Ambroise & Blues In Red

LIVE HAITIAN JAZZ

Coming from a jazz perspective, Buyu has revealed a natural relationship between the complex polyrhythmic structures in both the North American form and the Afro-Caribbean sound of traditional Haitian music. This fusion is the birth of a new musical style that encompasses the two and sustains the mix effortlessly. Although this subgenre of World Jazz is considered cutting edge, Buyu's recordings and live performances are executed with a spirit and level of mastery that invoke a gentle blend of harmonies that have matured on Haitian and American stages for generations.

Specifically in Marasa, unexpected twists in compositions such as Plezi Mize (Pleasure in Misery) and Wangol attracts listeners and relentlessly captivates their attention. Buyu's melodies are inspired from the rich repertoire of Afro-Haitian music sustained with modern jazz harmonies.

Upcoming projects this year include a third album, continued appearances at concerts and various jazz venues in New York City, Miami, Boston, Montreal, Haiti and beyond.
