Description
Description
These exotic sounds explore the many reasons for musical expression. From Haiti, the group Boukan Ginen hopes to raise social awareness through their lyrics to bring about change in their country, while Djo Dezormo and his group from Martinique struggle to preserve and celebrate their heritage through their Carnival music. Also featured are the Afro-Cuban rhythms explored by the Iroko Project (USA/Cuba), which are an ancient African religious expression; and the popular, modern dance sound of Congolese souokus from living legend Tabu Ley Rocheraus and his Orchestre Afrisa (Zaire).
