Nite Bjuti: Minwi

October 3, 2026

When Nite Bjuti  (pronounced Night Beauty), Candice Hoyes, Mimi Jones, and Val Jeanty  take to the stage, the surrounding air is charged with energy and anticipation. The trio conjures voices that invoke their ancestral past, and those voices guide them and help to shape and change the future. On Minwi, (Haitian Creole for midnight), Nite Bjuti channels that raw kinetic energy into a highly charged musical experience, an experience that reveals something different to the listener each time they hit play.
