The show 

Waahli is a Montreal artist of Haitian origin. He is also the co-founder of the hip hop group Nomadic Massive. He infuses his hip hop influenced music with an Afro-Caribbean touch that is all his own. His songs take listeners on a journey around the world with their powerful, ancestral rhythms. Accompanying the music are passionate lyrics reflecting his reality, past and present. He sings in English, French, and Haitian Creole.

Presented on April 2, 2025 at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm, in Théâtre Maisonneuve at Place des Arts.
