SUMMARY:An n Pale with Paul Beaubrun | VERTIÈRES Album Listening Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first listening party of the album release tour! Hosted by Haiti Cultural Exchange & Rhum Barbancourt. Paul Beaubrun brings his highly anticipated album VERTIÈRES to HCX for the first listening party of the album release tour!\nPaul will treat us to an acoustic set of select songs from his newest album VERTIÈRES\, share a special screening of the album’s trailer and join HCX Executive Director Régine M. Roumain in conversation about his work and latest project. \nSavor the night with hors d’oeuvres and specialty cocktails provided by Rhum Barbancourt. Paul Beaubrun’s latest album VERTIÈRES is a transformational album and cultural movement inspired by Haiti’s revolutionary victory. Rooted in the Battle of Vertières–Haiti’s historic battle on November 18\, 1803 against France\, leading to Haiti’s independence–it brings together ancestral memory\, spiritual awakening\, and modern music to open a new chapter for Haitian art. \nVERTIÈRES is a deeply personal journey from heartbreak to spiritual sovereignty. Through facing an inner war\, the artist discovers self-mastery\, discipline\, and personal power. This is not a story about defeating others\, but about taking full responsibility for one’s life\, choices\, and existence. \nBy merging the personal and the collective\, VERTIÈRES reflects a central truth of Haitian history: true revolution begins within. VERTIÈRES goes beyond an album\, it serves as a cultural platform grounded in legacy\, presenting Haiti’s new sound to the world. \nSponsored by Rhum Barbancourt \n \n— \nSaturday\, August 1\, 2026\n 6–9pm \nRSVP is required for entry.\n$20 Suggested Donation\nEntry based on capacity. Additional admission will be available at the door until capacity is reached. Your donation supports the mission of Haiti Cultural Exchange\, the home for Haitian arts & culture in New York City. \nRSVP on Eventbrite »  \n— \nAbout Paul Beaubrun \n \nPaul Beaubrun is a Haitian musician and songwriter known for his fusion of traditional Haitian music with elements of rock\, blues\, afrobeat\, and reggae.
