Soul Jazz Records are re-issuing ‘Voodoo Drums’, recorded in Haiti, to coincide with the release of ‘Kanaval’, their new photography book and music CD about Kanaval in Haiti.
• Soul Jazz Records brings you the real deal, nineteen rhythms of Haitian Voodoo drumming.
• Recorded in Port-au-Prince, Haiti by Soul Jazz Records, this album features The Drummers Of The Societe Absolument Guinen.
• Voodoo is the African religion at the heart of Haitian life. The complex rhythms of the drums are used to bring down African spirits in Voodoo ceremonies. These drums are the link between the music of Africa and the Caribbean. With links to Cuban Santeria, Jamaican and Trinidadian Afro-religions, Voodoo rhythms are the heaviest, most intense of all.
• The CD is reissued as a special box edition with full sleevenotes contextualising Voodoo music and also comes on super-loud double vinyl for open-minded DJs.
