about

A collaboration between vocalist Bethany Yarrow (USA), cellist Rufus Cappadocia (USA), Yacouba Moumouni (Niger) and Bonga Jean-Baptiste (Haiti) both acknowledged master musicians of their respective countries.

Conjuring the ancestral traditions of the old world and the new, the four musicians weave the desert winds of Africa with Vodou drumming and the earthy folk music of the Americas. It is an unexpected and thrilling synergy of song, culture, rhythm and blues.
