Beethova Obas

Beethova Obas is a Haitian musical treasure known for blending compas grooves with soulful jazz and roots influences. Born Enold Beaubrun Jr., the singer-guitarist earned his stage name by fusing "Beethoven" with "Jah Rastafari," reflecting his sophisticated musicality and cultural consciousness. After making waves in the 1980s with popular band Zenglen, he launched a solo career that's produced timeless tracks like the socially conscious "Le chant de liberté" and the romantic "Kè'm Poze." His velvety vocals and poetic lyrics – weaving between Haitian Creole and French – explore love, freedom, and his homeland's resilience. Recent releases like "Planèt La" and "Futur" show he's still pushing boundaries while staying true to Haiti's rich musical heartbeat. Whether he's crafting dancefloor-ready compas or introspective ballads, Obas remains a vital voice connecting Haiti's past to its vibrant present.
