about

1. DAM MWEN YO
Dam mwen yo in Haitian Creole simply
translates to “my ladies.” In Haitian
culture, women are the fearless and
loving pillars of their homes and
communities who work tirelessly with
very little regard, often finding solace
and strength through song.
This piece, which combines my own voice
and personal recordings of my family members with the cello in a somber
melody, is a tribute to the Haitian women
in my life who were central to my
upbringing and continue to empower my
own sense of womanhood.

Nathalie Joachim is a GRAMMY®
nominated flutist, composer, and vocalist.
The Brooklyn born Haitian-American
artist is hailed for being “a fresh and
invigorating cross-cultural voice.”
(The Nation).
She is co-founder of the critically
acclaimed urban art pop duo, Flutronix,
and comfortably navigates everything
from classical to indie-rock, all while
advocating for social change and
cultural awareness.
