Composer, choreographer and Haitian Vodou priest Erol Josué comes to
Durham for a special benefit concert. (Erol Josué): "This performance of
song, drumming and dance is meant to support Haiti in the wake of the
earthquake. We take this road in order to sing our country, to embark on a
new pilgrimage, and gather together as we seek to change the destiny of
our country." (The New York Times): "Josué engages in what he calls
"electro-vodou," which means juxtaposing voodoo-ritual chants with
synthesizer tones, overdriven thumb-piano riffs, Afro-funk guitar rhythm,
echoey textures."
The performance will feature Josué accompanied by musicians from New York
and Miami.
This is a free concert. A $10 donation is requested. Donation/tickets at
http://www.tickets.duke.edu
All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross relief efforts to help
provide immediate assistance to those affected by this tragedy. *
