Moonlight Benjamin Rebellious Caribbean blues-rock from voodoo queen priestess. A primal scream, a mysterious and mystical musical creation - almost shamanic - an incantation for liberation amidst thunderous guitars and driving drums... ‘the Caribbean Patti Smith’ (The Guardian - UK) ‘a punky voodoo queen’ (FRoots - UK) ‘guitar guns & Caribbean fever’ (Lylo - FR) MOONLIGHT BENJAMIN, dubbed ‘The Caribbean Patti Smith’ by The Guardian (UK), plays powerful and original music that combines Caribbean voodoo melodies with 70s blues rock. The interplay between Moonlight's powerful and rebellious voice and the tension of rich guitar riffs transforms voodoo trance into a new and explosive style. A declared long-time favourite of Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) and Iggy Pop, Haitian Vodou priestess Moonlight Benjamin explores the roots of blues and rock in her latest release. Carried by a deeper and darker sound and Moonlight's unique voice, reminiscent of Alabama Shakes, Oumou Sangaré and Dr John, the album Wayo is a primal scream, a mysterious and mystical musical creation - almost shamanic - an incantation for liberation amidst raging guitars and driving drums
