Moonlight Benjamin is a Haitian-born singer/songwriter/bandleader, who grew up in a protestant orphanage, and is now based in France.  As a teenager she started to sing at church.

Her music is unique in the Haitian diaspora. She fuses the gut-level passion of Haitian roots music with the blare and bravado on of electric guitar rock, always with bracing effect.  In person, she is elegant, soft-spoken and articulate.  On stage, she is like a person possessed, raw and emotive -singing mostly in Creole with a burly voice that erupts from somewhere deep within.  Her band rocks hard throughout.

Moonlight's powerful and rebellious voice, meets the tension of saturated guitars to create an intoxicating voodoo trance in a very new and explosive style.
