Description
Vox Sambou, who has branded himself “the voice without borders,” was born in Limbé, Hai ti. Described as a “sharp-witted lyricist and a charismatic showman” (Afrobeat.com), Sambou’s sound reflects his Haitian ro ots combining reggae, Afrobeat, Latin music, and danceable jazz. He now lives in Canada. In addition to music, Sambou is still very involved in the Limbé community as a founding member of Solid’Ayiti. This group is comprised of artists and activists working for a long-term solidarity between Montreal and movements fighting for social justice in Haiti, following principles of self-sufficiency, education, decentralization and reforestation. “Vox Sambou: One of five musical acts to watch in 2015.” — CBC News For more information, check out his website .   Check out the full 2017 Madison World Music Festival schedule .   Check out the  rest of the lineup  for the 2017 Madison World Music Festival.
