SUMMARY:Rebirth of Haitian Vodou Music
DESCRIPTION:This book launch-concert will introduce the essay-biography of Yves Chico Boyer\, founder of the rasin ‘root’ music band Foula and a key figure in the revival of Haitian vodou music. Musicologist and art historian Prince Guetjens\, who has gathered testimonies from Chico’s collaborators in Haiti\, in France and in New York\, explores why Foula’s artistic achievements did not gain international recognition compared to Haitian Konpa music. The narrative examines factors such as US imperialist politics\, inadequate support for the arts\, socio-economic divisions\, and the pursuit of stardom over genuine artistry\, highlighting Chico Boyer’s exceptional contributions to this music history. The event will also feature a concert of rasin music and vodou jazz performed by artists influenced by Chico\, including Prince Guetjens. \n  \nThe book (in French and in English) will be available for sale. \n  \nKonsè lansman liv sa a pral prezante esè-biyografi Yves Chico Boyer\, fondatè gwoup mizik rasin Foula a ak yon pèsonalite kle nan relansman mizik vodou ayisyen an. Mizikològ ak istoryen atizay Prince Guetjens\, ki ranmase temwayaj kolaboratè Chico yo nan peyi Dayiti\, France ak Nouyòk\, eksplore poukisa reyalizasyon atistik Foula yo pa t jwenn rekonesans entènasyonal konpare ak mizik Konpa ayisyen an. Narasyon an egzamine faktè tankou politik enperyalis Etazini\, mank sipò pou atizay\, divizyon sosyo-ekonomik\, ak kous dèyè selèb olye de bonjan atizay\, sa ki mete aksan sou kontribisyon eksepsyonèl Chico Boyer nan istwa mizik sa a. Evènman an ap genyen tou yon konsè mizik rasin ak djaz vodou ak atis ki te enfliyanse pa Chico\, pami yo gen Prince Guetjens. \nLiv la (an franse ak an anglè) ap disponib pou vann. \n
