Nathalie Joachim's "Fanm d'Ayiti" (Women of Haiti) is a celebration of some of Haiti's most iconic yet under recognized female artists, as well as an exploration of Joachim's personal Haitian heritage.

The evening-length work for voice, flute, string quartet and electronics was commissioned by St. Paul Chamber Orchestra's Liquid Music Series, and premiered on March 14, 2018 at Amsterdam Bar and Hall in St. Paul, MN. 

Developed through a two-year virtual residency through Liquid Music, "Fanm d'Ayiti" features original songs incorporating the recorded voices of Joachim's grandmother and the girls choir of her family's home farming village of Dantan; new arrangements of songs by Toto Bissainthe, Carole Demesmin and Emerante de Pradines (some of the greatest known female voices in Haitian history); and recorded interviews with these artists about their lives fighting for social justice and uplifting the people of Haiti.

ZEKLE - Pil ou fas

L'immigration est un problème d'ordre mondial: Les pays avancés, par rapport à ceux victimes  de colonisation et d'exploitation, redoublent la sécurité de leurs frontières optant pour l'immigration choisie, appliquant la déportation. Mais peuvent-ils poser des frontières sur l'air que nous respirons et qu'ils polluent du reste? Voilà qui prouve que 
nous sommes tous dans le même bateau. Quand le monde va mal, le monde entier en paie le prix! Alors, qu'en est-il quand tout va bien? Est-il juste que les grands soient con-descendants?
