T’dòz solo album “Lâcher prise“ includes 12 tracks he composed and arranged.
His songs are inspired by the many challenges that life has placed in his way and he
has transcended. Without measure, he incorporates his roots in traditional
Haitian music, Vodou, as well as Pop, Jazz, and Blues. T’dòz has based, among
other things, some rhythms of Haitian Vodou, such as Ibo which is associated with
move- ments of freedom, Djouba, connected to the peasant world and the virtually
untouched Nago rhythm which is used by the Dahome warriors of Benin. The
vast musical dimension of the album renders it a work both unique and universal in
the themes as love, peace, solidarity and respect for nature, decorated with
lightweight pop.
Ted G. Beaubrun aka “T’dòz” (pronounced Ti doze) was born in Ouanaminthe,
Haiti and he came from the most prestigious musically and socially committed family
on the island. He is the grandson of Theodore Beaubrun, one of the first prominent
drummers in Haiti and son Theodore Beaubrun Jr. (nicknamed ‘Lolo’) and mother
Mimerose (nicknamed ‘Manze’). In the 1970’s his parents created the group
Boukman Eksperyans, known as the original “roots” (racine) music in Haiti .
Naturally gifted, Ted wrote his first composition at the age of 6. A talented and self
taught percussionist, he mastered several rhythms of Haitian Vodou drums and
skillful determination earned him the privelege of joining his parents at the tender
age of 12 and accompanying
Boukman Eksperyans
throughout their international
tours. Ted musically enriched
and contributed to the recording
and videos sessions, and in
doing so revealed his skills as an
arranger and producer. Because
of this, he became the main
arranger for Boukman
Eksperyans since 2008. Living
in Geneva for many years, Ted
managed to completed his
engineering studies at ‘HES’, all
while keeping to his vocation as a
musician. While studying he
made several albums as a
producer, acquired internships
and composed film music. His
musical style? Vodou Pop!
Steeped in culture and raised in
music, T’dòz brings a new ‘world’
sound. A sound which is
contemporary, and an avantgarde and innovative voice that
rallies the rhythms of the rural
areas of Haiti from vodou, pop
and urban modernity, thereby
creating “Vodou Pop “. T’dòz also
draws upon peasant values and
marks his commitment and respect for this population who still maintains
conservative soulful African rhythms inherited during the time of slavery.
Accomplished musician, composer of melodies, T’dòz sings with his vodou voice,
where the sacred world of peasants call, accompanying himself on guitar or piano
that sprinkled carefully with drums. Throughout his new identity, yet without denying
the cultural and musical heritage of Boukman Eksperyans, T’dòz has created his own
musical universe and conquered audiences with his musicality and his natural
charisma.
