About Drummers Of The Societe Absolument Guinin

This release features the Voodoo Drums of Haiti and was recorded by Soul Jazz Records in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Unlike Hollywood's version of Voodoo (Zombies, the walking dead and human sacrifices), Voodoo is the alive and thriving African-derived religion in Haiti and this CD is a contemporary recording of the musical rhythms of Voodoo. The complex rhythms of Yoruban drums--the roots of urban African and Afro-Caribbean music--call the divine ancestors (orishas) to earth to possess their mediums. These rhythms are continued on in Cuba's Santeria and Brasil's Candomblé.
