about

On December 2017 Boddhi Satva was invited by Haiti Roots, a Port-Au-Prince Based Eco Tourist Company promoting Haiti under it’s real and most authentic light. During this Journey Boddhi was able to connect with some of the Island’s most remarkeable artists such as Gardy Girault, Niska, Princesse Eud, Medji and Steven Baboun to name but a very few.
During these 4 Days in Haiti and upon Boddhi’s request, an introduction to one of his musical heros James Germain was made possible at the Lovely Boutique Hotel La Lorraine.
Boddhi has been a fan of James for as far back as 2006 and this encounter with the creator of Kreol Mandingue was a dream come true for the Ancestral Soul master.
The result of this spirtitual connection between both artists is called « An Nou Ale » which is Haitian Kreol for « Let’s Go or Let’s Go Together ». The song is a calling to the Ancestors, a calling to save the Unity of Black and Brown people from Africa and African decent around the world. It is also a reminder for all of us to reconnect with our Divine feminine Energy. The song was recorded in three different countries with James Recording his vocals at Alex Finkin’s minimal Studio, Slikk Tim dropping his stunning bass line at his home studio in Paris (France), N’Faly Kouyate recording his Kora at Nathaniel’s Wav.designer studio in Brussels (Belgium), and Boddhi putting all the Magic together in Lisbon (Portugal).

James Germain is a classicaly trained singer whom as a Child due to his Albinism used to be marginalised. But comforted by the love of his parents, none of these prejudices held him back from his passion for singing. A passion stimulated by those Voodoo chants that used to resonate in his neighborhood and enchante him as a Child.
After meeting at 15 years old, Lina Mathon Blanchet the great lady of Haitian music. James will soon realize, that Voodoo is his true spiritual calling. A calling that was manifested through sounds and music. Fast forward to the years 2000’s and during a trip to Mali, James discovers the second love of his Life, Mandingue music. Due to his stunning ability to listen, learn and emulate the Malian griots (with whom he spent an extensive amount of time), James will soon master vocal their vocal techniques.

Strengthened by these experiences, he created the Kreol Mandingue style for which he his now well known.
Not only Mr. James Germain is a true ambassador of Haitian music throughout the world and a proud defendent of panafricanism values. James is also the father of a uniq sound never done before.
