African Archive, Creole, Features, Folk World, Haitian World, Music Archive, Purchase College / November 16, 2019 by Editors

Chouk Bwa plays Haitian roots music at the Purchase College Performing Arts Center in Purchase, New York on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 8pm.

Tickets from $30

This concert is part of (T)HERE: A Global Festival of Art, Culture and Ideas – Haiti at Purchase College November 14-16, 2019.


Chouk Bwa

From the countryside of the New World’s first free black republic, Chouk Bwa performs stripped-down Haitian roots music: enthralling percussion, dance, call-and-response singing, work songs, Vodou performances, and Holy Week rara music.

Infused with the scent and sensibility of voodoo, it is music that refuses to obscure their homeland’s deep African heritage. As they themselves declare, these are rhythms that were “torn from Africa and secretly replanted in a new land.” But this “replanting” sowed a new identity. As such, the music of Chouk Bwa is a proud statement of Haitian culture, of a nation that’s known the hardest of times but whose spirit remains as tough as those ancient drums.
