PUBLIC RADIO 90 WNMU-FM: Classiclectic 2019 Year's End List
BY KURT HAUSWIRTH
“The Women of Haiti are Haitian-American composer, flutist, and vocalist Nathalie Joachim's focus in Fanm d'Ayiti. Alongside Spektral Quartet, Joachim's debut solo album mixes classical, electronic, hip-hop, and R&B elements, and explores her Haitian heritage. The works also include female voices from yesterday and today (including Joachim's grandmother), which aim to use those voices to connect with other Haitian women's voices. This album takes many sources of composition to help tell a bigger story about Haitian culture and a hopeful future.”
