After leaving his native country for Montreal, in 2012 Medjy Toussaint created the group Enposib, with the help of Patrice Cave, cousin of the famous musicians Richard and Alan Cave. With their inseparable guitarist, Nicolas Millet, the duo’s mission is to make their music their means to meet people. Often overlooked, Enposib wants to revive the friendly, festive and community aspect of Haitian music. While we are in the age of music downloading, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to gather crowds, Enposib wants to meet the challenges. They do this by promoting music close to urban realities, full of their inspiration, by offering performances that remind the public of the simple happiness of the present moment.

Composer and performer, after having launched their song Bom sou 2 bo and Pa Tann, which we have heard on the airwaves of CIBL, CPAM and Radio Center-ville, the group is recognized by the spirit of their song. Inspired by the sounds of their childhood, such as Tabou Combo, System band and Slai, they offer a musical mix between Haitian music, such as Zouk and Konpa, and popular music. They are happy to compose in Creole, but do not hesitate to take up Anglophone and Francophone classics which they rework in order to bring out the groove side and the feeling that we recognize in African American music.
