DESCRIPTION:
Jacques Schwarz Bart has created a project that synergizes modern jazz and ritual voodoo music from Haiti. It features 2 Voodoo priests: the great singer Errol Josué, and percussionist Gaston Bonga, as well as some of the finest Jazz musicians: Etienne Charles, Obed Calvaire, Luqies Cutis, Milan Milanovic. While remaining a jazz project, the music is lifted by the powerfull spirituality of voodoo music. Band members and audience seem to be sailing together on a sea of light. .
The music was just presented as the headliner for the opening day of the famous Banlieues Bleues festival on March 11th. It will be heard as one of the main acts of the international Essaouira Festival in Morrocco on June 24th.

Wonderful realization for this video by Giuseppe de Vecchi.
