L’artiste engagé MATO a lancé son album solo tant attendu, « Je Wè Bouch Pale », ce 22 novembre 2025. Plus qu’une œuvre musicale, ce projet est un cri d’alarme et un vibrant témoignage des réalités haïtiennes, appelant à mettre fin au silence et à l’indifférence.
In the incessant flow of Haitian artistic creation, where expression is both vital and risky, the artist MATO, whose real name is Merzius Evenson, has just established himself as an essential voice. His album, entitled “Je Wè Bouch Pale” (I saw, the mouth speaks), is not just a collection of songs; it is a peaceful declaration of war on resignation. MATO has chosen to “lage yon moso nanm li nan van” (leave part of his soul in the wind), injecting pain, hope, and a truth that is often difficult to hear into the heart of his melodies.
This project comes at just the right time, acting as a mirror held up to society. The artist is committed to “putting doulè, espwa, ak verite nan nòt yo” (putting pain, hope, and truth into the notes), confirming that music is, for him, the most direct channel for denouncing what is wrong.
A cry in the shadows: each track is a path
The album’s structure is designed as a progression from darkness to light. In “fènwa a, MATO chèche limyè” (in the darkness, MATO seeks the light). He tackles head-on the burning issues of social injustice, endemic corruption, and marginalization.
Each track is a step, a “chemen” (path) that leads the listener to confront uncomfortable realities. It is a work of introspection that aims to be collective.
Concrete example: The raw tone of tracks such as “Batay” (Battle) and “Temwayaj” (Testimony) resonates with disarming sincerity. MATO depicts the daily struggle for dignity and encourages individual and community awareness.
The goal is clear: to transform observation (Je Wè) into action (Bouch Pale). The album is an invitation to resist, not with violence, but with the power of words and art.
A collective dream: uniting to break the silence
The work goes beyond a simple individual performance to become a collective manifesto. MATO emphasizes the purpose of his project because this album is not just music, it is a battle, it is a dream, a dream for us to stop being silent, a dream to denounce what is not right…
This vision of a shared dream gives the album a credibility and reach that appeals to the general public. By choosing a professional, fluid, and direct tone, MATO manages to make these complex subjects accessible to all, inviting everyone to become an agent of change.
The call for reverberation: an inspiring conclusion
Available on all music platforms since November 22, 2025, “Je Wè, Bouch Pale” is a work that invites the listener to a deep reverberation.
MATO’s message is an impulse, an energy that must be allowed to “travèse ou” (pass through you). The album is a milestone on the road to societal reconstruction, reminding us that art can be the most powerful driver of transformation. Now it is up to us to respond to his call: after seeing and listening, what will we say?
