Afro-Haitian Roots/Jazz with Vo-Duo - CD Release at Inkwell Jazz Cafe

PLG Arts Jazz at the Inkwell presents Vo-Duo Thursday, October 25, 8-10:30 pm

Inspired by the rhythms  and chants of the sacred Vodou music traditions of Haiti, guitarist/vocalist  Monvelyno Alexis and percussionist Markus Schwartz incorporate elements of “Mizik Rasin,” jazz, and rock into a uniquely original and modern improvisational context.

Vo-Duo’s debut recording, entitled “Nou La” (We Are Here) is a testament to this dynamic duo’s combined lifetime of dedication to their craft. Monvelyno & Markus are both established bandleaders and sought-after sidemen on the Haitian music scene in NYC and beyond. Together they manifest a unique and passionate musical vision for the past, present and future of Haitian music.
