Moonlight Benjamin
Moonlight Benjamin
Nicknamed “The Caribbean Patti Smith” by The Guardian, Moonlight Benjamin plays powerful and original music blending Caribbean Vodou melodies and 70s blues rock inspired by Dr John, Alabama Shakes, The Black Keys, and Oumou Sangaré. Creative Alliance presents Moonlight Benjamin’s new performance, Wayo, which is a spellbinding cry of pain showcasing her thundering vocals and lyrical themes on faith, energy, and our connection to the source. These new songs from Haiti’s Vodou priestess delve deep, immersing her philosophical messages in heavy blues rapture; killer riffs; and hand-clapping, foot-stomping percussion.
