Germa Adan, a talented musician, draws inspiration from her Haitian roots, crafting music that transcends borders. Her journey from Haiti to the US and now the UK shapes her art with a strong sense of identity. Known for her storytelling and social consciousness, Germa blends vocal and stringed harmonies with influences from various folk traditions. Her second album, 'Borderlines & Bloodlines,' released in October 2023, explores themes of ancestry and heritage, draws from inspirational literature, reflecting on the beauty and complexities of Haitian identity. Through her music, Germa invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, bridging the gaps between time and culture.
