Musician — percussionist — cultural bridge-builder
The drum as a path.
Music as transmission.
Rhythm connects what words cannot.
In Haiti, the drum is passed from hand to hand — alive, never frozen in time. Its rhythm now crosses languages and borders, connecting what words leave unsaid.
Meet TedThree paths into my world
Music, the stage, and the drum open three different paths, all guided by the same intention: creating connection, awakening memory, and bringing life back into motion.
Artist
Ted Beaubrun is a Haitian musician, percussionist, singer, author and cultural storyteller based in Geneva. Since 2012, he has been building an artistic practice that brings Haitian musical heritage into dialogue with Afro-Caribbean and contemporary influences.
Through Ted Beaubrun & The Band, he creates music where percussion, voice and acoustic instruments meet in a space between tradition and modernity. His work turns around themes such as consciousness, memory, transmission and joy.
Alongside his concerts, he leads writing, workshop and cultural mediation projects that extend this artistic vision: making rhythm a universal language capable of connecting people and cultures.
Synchronicité – Terre & Feu
Ted Beaubrun
Conscience is an Afro Fusion track from the EP Synchronicité – Terre & Feu. Carried by percussion, an evocative guitar riff, and lyrics in French and Haitian Creole, it invites the listener to hear their heart, awaken their consciousness, and live a musical experience of inner transformation.
Music begins when consciousness awakens.

Nation Ogou draws on the energy of Ogou, a symbol of strength, courage and determination in Haitian Vodou tradition. Driven by percussion and the energy of the band, the track brings Haitian roots into dialogue with rhythmic power and contemporary sounds.
When the drum calls, strength begins to move.

You managed to create a wonderful atmosphere among the residents [...] This rhythm and Ted's singing were truly captivating — so much so that elderly residents, usually rather quiet, started dancing with the care staff.

BOOK
The Yanvalou of the Soul
A novel by Ted Beaubrun
Through the journey of Emma Saint-Louis, The Yanvalou of the Soul explores memory, identity, and the part of ourselves that seeks to rediscover its own rhythm.
Between Geneva and Haiti, the novel turns yanvalou — dance, movement, and heritage — into a path of reconnection with oneself.
What if reconnecting with our roots could help us rediscover our own movement?
