Johnbern Thomas

Johnbern Thomas, a young drummer from Port-au-Prince, masters the different styles that make up the dynamic cultural patchwork of his region: from jazz to swing, from reggae to blues, from pop music to compa. He’s been immersed in music for his entire life, from his beginnings on stage when aged only eight, with his father, a drummer too, to his collaborations with American pianist Aaron Goldberg, Claude Carré and the creation of his own band, the Johnbern Quintet.
