"The Caribbean Patti Smith", "The new priestess of voodoo rock", "Guitares guns & Caribbean Fever", "punky voodoo queen" ...

The "punky voodoo queen" Moonlight Benjamin is back with a new album, almost 2 years after the release of "Siltane" and the 60 gogs she performed in 15 countries.

Described as a "Haitian Patti Smith" by the famous UK magazine The Guardian, the singeress and voodoo priestess continues her journey through Caribbean blues rock and is offering us 10 new powerfull songs in which her incredible voice battles hectic and saturated guitars ...

This is a powerful and original fusion between the Caribbean voodoo melodies and rhythms, and the 70's blues rock – a voodoo trance in a new and explosive style !

“Benjamin sounds thrilling, thoughtful and, at times, downright spook… title track Siltane is one of the songs of the year...like a Caribbean Patti Smith”
★ ★ ★ ★ Guardian (World, Album of the Month + #4 top albums 2018)

“She has reinvented 1970s blues-rock as a distinctively Haitian sound, with vodou-inspired rhythms and invocations to the loas”
★ ★ ★ ★ Financial Times

"Haiti’s Moonlight Benjamin generates one powerful sound"
★ ★ ★ ★ Evening Standard

"Soul blues mama & punky rock queen at the same time. Impressive"
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ FRoots (Album Choice)

"The tradition of voodoo folklore in thundering electric beats"
★ ★ ★ ★ Songlines (Top of the World selection)

"An intriguing and exciting release and an unforgettable experience"
★★★★ Rock'n'Reel (RNR)

“The music she has swirled up here is a kind of incantatory rock and roll that comes on like Black Keys being filtered through a blues-woozy filter”
Crack

“We will be hearing more from Moonlight in 2019”
