[Karayib Focus] Stevy Mahy, a 21st Century Caribbean Renaissance Woman
In this month of October , I want to highlight Stevy Mahy for the second Karayib focus of Entrepreneur, author, filmmaker, she is a Caribbean singer who transcends styles and genres like a 21st century creator.
S like sensitivity
I discovered Stevy Mahy while researching for my special edition on the representation of slavery in music. Beyond the charm of her voice carried by the kind of acoustic guitar arrangements I love, it was the lyrics of her single "Haïti Chérie" that struck me when I first listened to it. My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I really feel like this is the first time I've ever heard the name Haiti pronounced so softly and lovingly. I can't say that I have a precise memory of the irrational xenophobia that some Guadeloupeans openly expressed towards Haitian people but I know that this xenophobia was real and made me feel uneasy me in a way that my teenage self couldn’t verbalize yet. The sensitivity with which Stevy Mahy sang this ode to a sister island touched me all the more by the singularity of this artistic discourse that I had never heard before.

Stevy Mahy, chanteuse : son voyage musical
Estelle Virassamy
Si le titre Beautiful est sur toutes les lèvres depuis quelques mois, c'est en ce moment que Stevy Mahy livre The Beautiful Side of a Kreyol Folk Trip. Un premier album qui est à l'image de sa vie : une somme d'influences musicales, une succession de rencontres et de collaborations. Pour le présenter, la chanteuse de folk soul créole s'arrête le 8 juillet, à Baie-Mahault, dans le cadre des Jeudis live Lakasa.
A la voir arriver sereine, au volant de sa petite voiture, difficile de croire que cette jeune femme a créé une véritable révolution dans le paysage musical antillais. Bien avant la sortie de son premier album, Stevy Mahy fait parler d'elle. Et pour cause, c'est sur internet que l'interprète du titre Beautiful a conquis ses premiers fans. En pleine préparation de son premier opus, la chanteuse et son producteur, Joël Jacoulet, lancent un premier extrait sur la toile. « Ce n'était pas un calcul. Nous étions dans une démarche de création d'album, de composition. Certaines chansons étaient déjà écrites et comme j'ai un rapport particulier à l'image, avec la vidéo, nous décidons de faire un petit clip
