Lakou Mizik soti Ayiti retounen nan Center for Arts at the Armory (Somerville) la pou yon lòt pèfòmans mistik, nanm ak vibran.
Lakou Mizik se yon pisans kolektif mizik rasin ayisyen ki gen yon enèji ak yon melanj de estil ki santi yo etere ak abitye an menm tan. Gwoup la te mete tèt yo ansanm apre tranblemanntè 2010 ki te devaste Ayiti a pou montre mond lan ke peyi yo te pi plis pase sòm tit yo t ap tire sou lemonn, e mesaj sa a pi enpòtan toujou jodi a. Dènye album yo a, "Leave the Bones," se yon kolaborasyon revolisyonè ant plizyè jenerasyon Lakou Mizik ak mizisyen elektwonik Joseph Ray ki te genyen Grammy. Albòm yo a “HaitiaNola,” selebre rasin kiltirèl pataje Ayiti ak New Orleans ak envite ki gen ladann Preservation Hall Jazz Band, pral siman mete w nan atitid pou konsè sa a pa dwe rate.
Jodi a, ak mesaj pozitif yo ak mizik renesans rasin yo, yo te vin youn nan ekspòtasyon pi cho an Ayiti e yo te genyen yon siy entènasyonal ak premye album yo aklame kritik "Wa Di Yo."
Rejwenn nou le 15 Novanm pou nou fè eksperyans Lakou Mizik! Pòt yo louvri a 7:00 PM, konsè a ap kòmanse a 8:00 PM. Gwoup Ayisyen Rara Bel Poze ki baze nan Boston ap ouvri!
Tikè achte pou Lakou Mizik pa ranbousab. Tout lavant yo final. @topfans @followers
