Tjovi Ginen is a vibrant ensemble of seasoned musicians representing their Latin, African and American culture, all supported by Vodou rhythms and Haitian chants. Their lyrics lace each track with Reggae, Ska and Jamaican dub poetry which unfold stories of struggle and triumph, pain and power, and love for all.
“Expect deep, percussion rich grooves, political drama and maybe a few laughs. This can also describe the Haitian people, its history, its art and its culture, seeking freedom from political and social oppression in the dance and rhythms of Mother Africa.” - Boston Phoenix
