Local Band reaches out with their new album during Haitian Heritage Month

MIAMI – In 2004, a group of young and talented musicians from diverse backgrounds discovered a common bond and an incredible chemistry. Through a great love for music and a shared vision to create something unique, they gave birth to a band: MaWoN.

Playing a wide range of rhythms that span from Traditional Haitian Roots, to Konpa, Reggae and R&B, they have a universal appeal that is building a great following in the community. When asked, they will tell you that,”MaWoN is a cultural rebellion, a refusal to accept boundaries and categories. We just want to present good music to the World”.

MaWoN is eager to give back to the South Florida community and is taking the opportunity to do so in celebration of Haitian Heritage Month. They will perform Monday, May 19th at Coral Reef Senior High. The students of Coral Reef have chosen No One Cares, one of the songs off of MaWoN’s first album, also available on iTunes, to play during their “Haitian Relief Project”, a fundraising event to collect edible goods for those suffering in Haiti.

MaWoN will be in the company of Congressman Diaz-Balart who is scheduled to address the students and Angel A. Aloma, Executive Director of Food For The Poor who will speak to the current food crisis in Haiti.

MaWoN has always made an effort to motivate and inspire our youth and the community at large with their music. With songs in English, Kreyol and French each of these events are an opportunity to bring to light the diversity and multiculturalism of the Haitian community while commemorating this very historic month.

Participation in these events is part of the band’s commitment to revitalizing and encouraging the future of Haiti. They have chosen to empower their listeners through their lyrics and worldly sound becoming ambassadors while spreading cultural awareness.
