from his mother, the lead dance of the National Dance Company of Haiti.
While studying with several major dance instructors, he became a member of
the nationally-prized dance company, Troupe Bacalou, at the age thirteen,
and four years later held a position with Les Danseurs de L'Iles as the
company's lead dancer and choreographer. At twenty-one Jameau left Haiti for
Europe, where he taught classes and produced full-scale performances of
Afro-Haitian music and dance in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, France,
England, Canada, and the U.S. gaining international acclaim as a leading
Afro-Haitian dancer, educator, and musician. He is currently producing his
5th CD with his wife, the acclaimed singer and musician, Maria Jameau.
