B. 1993 Grenada,  Lives and works in Grenada and the world

Jeverson Ramirez is a multidisciplinary artist from Grenada whose practice bridges art, music, and the vibrant traditions of Caribbean sound culture. A gifted steel pan player and recording artist, Ramirez’s work explores rhythm as a language of identity—linking ancestral memory, improvisation, and contemporary expression.

Trained in both classical and popular idioms, with deep roots in the Commancheros steel band of St. Paul’s Grenada, his performances often blur the lines between concert and installation, using the steel pan not only as a musical instrument but as a medium for storytelling and embodied ritual. Ramirez has performed across the Caribbean and internationally, contributing to recordings and collaborations that reflect the evolving voice of Grenadian music within global contexts.

Through his sonic and performative explorations, Ramirez brings forward the energy of the island. He celebrates resilience, spirituality, and the ever-shifting dialogues between tradition and innovation.

For the Grenada Pavilion he will peform with the solo steel pan in a traditional Venetian wooden boat, a sandolo, in the Rio Dei Mendicanti, the canal beside the Spazio Berlindis in Cannaregio.  The Veneitian company Row Venice will power the vessel with local rowers. The video documentation  of this will then be shared in the pavilion for the months of the 61st Biennale.
