Emeline Michel is the reigning Queen of Haitian Song: a captivating performer, versatile vocalist and one of the premier Haitian songwriters of her generation. She has recorded and appeared on concert stages throughout the Caribbean, Europe, and North and South America for over 20 years, including appearances at New York's Carnegie Hall, Montreal International Jazz Festival, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Tasmania's Ten Days On The Island, Zimbabwe's Harare International Arts Festival, and on MTV's Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief telethon. The New York Times praises Emeline, comparing her to "an island goddess", and Haitian Times proclaims her an "all-time favorite artist". Amour Creole has declared her new album Quintessence the "rebirth of a living legend." Singing both in French and Haitian Creole, her ten albums have catapulted her to international acclaim.
