No one claims to be an artist if he does not enjoy the sympathy of a public substantiated by his artistic representations. Jethro Joseph, the native of Gonaïves who has lived in Miami since the age of 14, knows how to capture the attention of his fans with his music. However, it is not the subject of such a rich repertoire, its creation already leaves an indelible mark in the artistic memory of its contemplators. Art is above all sensitivity, subjectivity. In other words, to paraphrase the wise man, there is no season and no reason to love an artist. It’s like the breath, you feel it and inhale it and exhale it.
In Miami nightclubs, in nightclubs in Paris and also in the West Indies, his hybrid music of zouk and konpa, video clip, entitled “Lanmou ankachèt” which announces the first album of his group “Antouraj”, made the delights of the night knights. His music is nicknamed “Bèl Gouyad” for its lasciviousness which appeals to the hips of both partners or riders in a back and forth gesture. In other words, which evokes the idea of the universal dance of the fords. In this composition, through a lyrical tone, Jethro is accompanied by a female voice, Rachel Dorvil, who reminds us of artist Sonia Derson and tells the story of their love.
what they went through together to get here. Wasn’t the poet Manno Eugene right to say in a poem “a love that has no story to tell, to share is not worthy of the name?”
Jethro Joseph is not new to Haitian music, His career dates back to 2003 with the formation “Bizou”. With the latter, he had made two albums, a studio album, “Yon tibo” and a live album in 2006, “Ranmase Konpa”. Due to his professional and family concerns, he had withdrawn, in spite of himself, into the music scene. Returning after 11 years, he formed his band, which is currently in the studio to record an album, one of which will be performed as a duet with J. Beatz. Without forgetting, we will also find the participation of other artists in the HMI (Haitian Music Industry) on this disc. in November 2017 Jay-Tee released * MWEN PAP SEPARE * FT JBEATZ
For the artist, music allows him to communicate with his inner self and the world, to share his joys and tears. It is in this sense that he considers himself a musical patient. Note that, if Jethro Joseph was a simple Keyboardist in the Bizou formation, now he is the main singer of “Antouraj”. Is he changing his mind to make a better name for himself in the Konpa dirèk arena?
