Here is a musical
adventure that transports you into the deepest
interior of
Haiti. Here is the fearsome fire and the brewing pot.
Here are the
frightening shadows. And here, above all, are the
weird Rhythms
and Sounds of a music that is more than music
because it is
distilled in ritual and there are those who believe in
its magic power.This
is music to be met halfway in a quiet room
with lights
dimmed. Then Listen! You're not alone any longer.
The room is
shaken with the frantic dances of the "Hungans" the
so called priests
of voodoo and their faithful. The cauldron boils
and froths.Walls
echo to the cries and the wails of the believers.
That's
"Voodoo! "
