Wanga Nègès, or the hummingbird, is a symbol of
joy, playfulness, and adaptability. This tropical
bird is also a powerful symbol of generosity and courage, as it takes major risks for the benefit of others.
At WANGA NÈGÉS RECORDS, our slogan is "Elevating Haitian and
French-Caribbean artists to
new heights", and we embody these values by providing a platform for talented artists to express themselves and connect with their audience.
As an imprint of Negre Marron Records, our parent label, we specialize in exclusively HAITIAN KOMPA INFUSED music.
Founded by
René Guemps in
2023 and
based in New York City, WANGA NÈGÉS RECORDS is committed to supporting independent Haitian artists by helping them find a record label in the US to represent and distribute their music
via digital service providers like
Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
We partner with Négresse Marron Distribution, a company that offers free distribution while taking a 20% commission on royalties. This ensures that artists and record labels keep all legal rights to their music.
To maintain the highest standards in the music industry, WANGA NÈGÉS RECORDS requires all music to be fully mixed and mastered before distribution.
Our focus on creativity, authenticity, and innovation sets us apart from other record labels.
Join us in celebrating the
rich and vibrant culture of Haitian and
French-Caribbean music with WANGA NÈGÉS RECORDS.
