A littler pick into Haiti... Dear all, As many as you know, Feb 20-21 I will be premiering my new Suite Cinqué at the Appel Room, Jalc. This suite is about the presence of the Congolese traditions in five island in the Caribe: Cuba, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. Im currently in Haiti, experiencing its culture, its people, so I can write music about these experience from a genuine and honest place. Tomorrow I will be going to a Kongo ceremony, invited by two great scholars, artists, and now friends Manzé and Lōló. The plan: We leave at 2pm and return at night on the following day. Scary and excited at the same time :) I will keep you all posted...
