Bio / Background
Gifrants is the bandleader of Vèvè, one among the latest Haitian musical groups, based in Boston, Massachusetts. He was born in Cap-Haitien, the second most populated and important city located in the North of Haiti. He started playing the guitar and writing his own music at the age of 13. At 19, he won first prize at two national radio contests held consecutively for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. The song that was submitted for the Valentine's Day contest was re-titled "Bossa Valentine" by the jury, because of its soft bossa nova beat, and the use of elaborate progressions.
He moved to the United States in 1982, and performed at different venues in New York. He founded "Sakad", one of the first bands that started the "roots music" movement, along the lines of Boukman Eksperyans, Boukan Ginen, RAM, etc. His 1987 release, entitled "Rebati Kay-la" (Let's Rebuild the Country), was well received in Haiti, as well as among the Haitian communities living abroad.
