Description
Voudou rock legends RAM are a mizik rasin (roots music) powerhouse Haitian band, who embody the joy and power of gede. The band is celebrating gede, a Haitian all-souls’-day holiday celebrated with ritual, drumming, singing, dancing and laughter. In RAM’s music, folkloric rhythms intertwine harmoniously with punk guitar riffs and Caribbean dance melodies, drumming, propelled by rara horns. Theirs is the sound of triumph over travail, a progressive vision of tradition, infused with Haitian rhythms kompa, rara, twoubadou, and vodou with rock influences.
Tafa Mi Soleil is a rising star in Haitian music, with a unique voice and a deep commitment to roots and culture, and human rights. In addition to her music, Mi-Soleil involved in theater, visual arts and fashion. The young singer was awarded “Best Female Artist of the Year” at the prestigious Haitian Music Awards in 2023. Gede is Haiti's festival of the ancestors - akin to Mexico’s Day of the Dead, or closer to home, Halloween. In Haiti, the holiday is celebrated with music, ritual, drumming, singing, dancing, drinking and laughter.
