Waahli is a Montreal-based artist of Haitian origin whose musical inspiration is rooted in a childhood enriched by traditional melodies. However, it is through hip-hop culture that he finds his voice and develops a unique and captivating style. In 2024, Waahli was nominated for the 2024 Juno Awards for Best Album of the Year in the Global Music category. SE7EN BUBBLES is an album that marks a musical evolution and the exploration of new territories for Waahli in 2025. It is accompanied by eclectic sound aesthetics ranging from traditional Haitian fusion to funk, rap and electro. Darker, purer atmospheres are also present. The piano, featured on several tracks, evokes the nostalgia of the lyrics while preserving Waahli’s musical signature, situated at the intersection of Afro-rap and Caribbean music. With this new opus, Waahli invites you to celebrate every moment! It tackles profound themes such as courage in the face of various trials, impermanence, failed love, the importance of taking one’s time, and recalling vivid memories of Haiti.
