LAKOU MIZIK, a collective of Haitian musicians who are bringing new life to Haitian roots music with legends like master drummer Sanba Zao, and young stars like Steeve Valcourt and Jonas Attis. A thrilling, genre blending musical experience that is as hard to define as it is easy to love - African, French, Caribbean and American influences collide with stirring rhythms of Haitian vodou drumming, the french café lilt of the accordion and the joyful percussive punctuation of the Rara horns - all mixed with scrappy, socially-driven lyrics and a dash of Motown swagger. This show is sure to be a fun sweaty dance party!
