Nominated in 2010 for the TD Grand Jazz Award, and winner of the bronze medal at the Syli d'Or World Music competition in 2007, Makaya released an eponymic record in 2009. With a grant from the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, Makaya will release the album Elements the 19th of February during MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, confirming its position as "a real hope in Creole jazz" (Yves Bernard, Le Devoir).
