Malou Beauvoir - Nwaye | Revry

Director: Hugue-Robert Marsan

Director: Walu Mwalilino

In creole, the word "Nwaye" implies drowning, and the song's narrator is overwhelmed by the deceit and misdirection of the authorities. But everything about Beauvoir's performance is steely, determined, and ultimately, hopeful. Malou Beauvoir sings like someone who has righteousness on her side – and maybe the Vodou spirits, too. Her characteristic amalgam of North American soul, Caribbean sweetness, Haitian traditional music, and international pop has never been more seamlessly integrated as it is here, and it's all put to the service of a very good cause. The clip features dancer and choreographer Raphaëlle François, whose portfolio ranges from performances and workshops in prestigious institutions such as Tokyo National Ballet, Quartier in Paris, Carnegie Hall in New York, the Ballet Hispanico in New York, the Ballet Roto in Dominican Republic, in Cyprus, Jamaica and much more, where she promotes Haitian culture.
