Behind the scenes of our F21 shoot at @galeriemonnin in Kenscoff Haiti ✨

@njoachim’s album “Fanm D’Ayiti” is a household favorite of ours and we were over the moon when it aligned for her to be a part of this shoot with us in Haiti. Her work so beautifully weaves together Haitian tradition, cultural icons, classical arrangements, and soul grooving beats.

This behind the scenes clip of @faily.makeup and @njoachim features the iconic “Legba Nan Konsole” from the album. When asked why Nathalie decided to cover this song this is what she shared-

“This was a song that Emerante de Predines sang. I paired it with Maman m voye m peze kafe (another song of hers). Both songs brought together a crucial message: one that demonstrates Emerante's own strength in bringing forth the story of ordinary people trying to go about living their lives in Haiti but meeting obstacles that are meant to be accepted without question, and all the while needing to have faith that Legba (a spiritual connector and communicator) will care for them in the presence of their struggles. The story is all too familiar in Haiti's current landscape, as is the need for continued faith.”
