SUMMARY:Lakou Mizik! Haitian Roots Gumbo
DESCRIPTION:http://fliartists.com/artists/global-roots/lakou-mizik/\nA collective of Haitian musicians blending Troubadou\, Vodou\, Rara and Urban Soul\, with legendary master vodou drummer Sanba Zao\, and young stars\, Steeve Valcourt and Jonas Attis – LAKOU MIZIK is a thrilling bouyon of Haitian roots music! \nIn Haiti\, African\, French\, Caribbean and American influences collide like nowhere else in the world. LAKOU MIZIK draws inspiration from the insistent spirit-stirring rhythms of vodou drumming\, the French café lilt of the accordion and the joyful punctuation of Rara horns\, With scrappy\, socially-driven lyrics and Motown swagger\, the result is a soulful stew of deeply danceable grooves that feels strangely familiar yet intensely new and 100% Haitian. \nMusic is at the core of Haiti’s sense of self and musicians play an important role\, in documenting the country’s history and shaping its path. Today a young generation of artists is narrating the world they live in through music made in their neighborhoods\, villages and post-earthquake camps. LAKOU MIZIK brings together generations in celebration of their cultural continuum\, to shine a positive light on this tragically misrepresented country. \nLAKOU MIZIK has been honing their electrifying live show in the clubs of Port-au-Prince – where their hours-long concerts are part spiritual awakening\, part political rally and altogether intoxicating. They have built a passionate fan base and with their debut album are determined to bring their music to the world stage. \nIn Haitian Kreyol the word “Lakou” carries multiple meanings – the backyard\, a gathering place to sing and dance\, debate or share a meal\, “home” or “where you are from”. In the wake of the 2010 earthquake\, the barrage of negative news and images\, the repeated phrase “poorest country in the Western Hemisphere\,” \, LAKOU MIZIK (“Music from the Homeland”) is an expression of Haitian pride and hope. \nhttps://youtu.be/ujsO-gxH838 \nhttps://vimeo.com/45095785 \n
