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!

This year, for the 2nd annual festival, Arts at the Armory has commissioned five headlining percussive dance artists and Flamenco guitarist Antonio Tran as Musical Director to create an evening length work to premiere on August 2nd. Returning from last year’s festival are artists Ariaki Dandawate (Kathak) and Yosi Karahashi (Flamenco), as well as Joh Camara (West African), Lekisha Limage (Step), and Ryan Casey (Tap), who are new to the festival this year. Deborah Mason is serving as an Artistic Advisor.
The new format goes beyond a showcase and allows the headlining artists to explore the interconnectedness of the various percussive dance forms, which is what is at the true heart of Feet Keep the Beat. The world premiere performance will tell the story of how feet have been keeping the beat over time, and across cultures and geographies. Join us!
