Latin IS America
A traditional Haitian Mizik Rasin—roots music—band brings rhythmic vocals and percussion to life with spiritual dance and chants. The source of the ensemble's music is the essential elements of Haitian Vodou: rhythm and dance. These are the roots, torn from Africa, and secretly replanted in a new land. The songs are a blend of traditional songs and original compositions by Jean Claude Sambaton Dorvil.
Ensemble members:
Jean Claude (Sambaton) Dorvil, lead singer
Gomez (Djopipi) Henris, vocals - (fe) - drums
Riscot Cedieu, lanbi - drums - vocals
Jean Rigaud Aimable, drums - banbou - vocals
Sadrack (Mazaka) Merzier, drums - banbou - vocals
Edele Joseph, dance - vocals
Maloune Prévaly, dance - vocals
