Learn more about "Follow Jah" :

Founded in Pétion-ville in 2001, supervised by the Caracoli association since 2010, the Follow Jah walking band multiplies their experiences of all kinds to explore the possibilities of the genre: animation for festivals, stage show, workshop for young public, collaboration with an American jazz saxophonist, a Malian DJ or a big band from Belgium!

At the same time, the Group's international development is made possible thanks to a partnership with the French agency "Africa in the Ears", which represents the Group in Europe and the support of institutions such as for this year, the Konèsans e Libète Foundation (FOKAL) as well as the Civil Society for the Administration of the Rights of Artists and Performing Musicians (ADAMI), French organization of collective management of the rights of performers.
