GODFATHER D

AUG 15

Representing Haiti, Don Barbarino, aka Godfather D, is a Montreal-based DJ and music producer with more than three decades behind the decks. His journey began in the mid-1980s with the residency Chillincypherizm, before he developed the Don Barbarino persona for his signature blend of soulful, Afro, deep-house and eclectic grooves.

Known for his exceptional command of ’90s and early-2000s R&B and hip-hop, he has become a respected figure in Montreal’s music scene. His notable residencies include Rebirth of Cool at W Montréal, SNS at Piano Rouge and Anbyanss at Ti Agrikol—making him a natural fit for Cinemoun’s nostalgic, music-driven pre-show experience.
