Ted Beaubrun is a Vodou pop artist, and outstanding percussionist. His practices focus on exploring the various ways in which Vodou and music intersect, reimagining and highlighting the role of the drum in Vodou musical practices. Ted comes from a large family of artists in Haiti who have dedicated their crafts to facilitate a balanced understanding of Vodou through music. At the moment, Ted is based in Switzerland, where he continues to share Vodou and his energy with the public through his skills as a trained percussionist and his album Lachêr prise, as well as his upcoming album Synchronocité-Vent et Eau.
