Jowee Omicil ‘Bwa KaYimaN FreeDoM SuiTe’ (CA)
Jowee Omicil is a tireless boundary-crosser who continually explores new musical worlds. No category does justice to this exceptional artist – a saxophonist, singer, pianist, and visionary inspired by his Haitian roots to create music that tastes of freedom and is carried by a mystical breath of rebellion and remembrance.
Born in Montréal to Haitian parents, Jowee Omicil blends his heritage, encounters, travels, and discoveries into a unique expression of curiosity and authenticity. Full of energy and joie de vivre, Jowee is a passionate entertainer who captivates audiences with his melodies and grooves. His music unites the freedom of jazz, the depth of gospel, and pulsating beats that surprise, refresh, and empower – a true boost for the soul.
His current album, Spiritual Healing: Bwa Kayiman Freedom Suite, is inspired by the Vodou ceremony of Bois Caïman in 1791, a historic turning point that sparked the Haitian slave revolt and the path to independence. This unbridled yearning for freedom is brought to the stage by Jowee with impressive virtuosity and boundless generosity – an electrifying connection that captivates and inspires the audience. His secret: no concert is ever the same, each one is a premiere in itself.
