Earthquake aftershocks in Haiti temporarily halted all travel and prevented the group from performing on the originally scheduled dates. Tickets purchased for these events will be honored for this week's shows. For details and more information please contact the Rozsa Box Office at 487-3200.
Boukman Eksperyans ushered in a musical revolution with their Grammy-nominated debut album, Voudou Adjae. This brilliant release introduced the world to Boukman’s worldly high energy sound, fusing traditional Haitian and Caribbean rhythms with rock and reggae. Voudou Adjae brought the band international prominence and made them spokespeople for Haitian people.
Since their emergence on the scene, Boukman has continued to release revolutionary critically acclaimed albums and mesmerize audiences world-wide from Haiti (where they draw tens of thousands of fans per show) to the Caribbean, throughout North America, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Africa -- both as a headlining act and alongside Wyclef Jean, Femi Kuti, and Baba Maal.
The Rozsa Center is proud and honored to present the Haitian roots band Boukman Eksperyans for two energy-filled evenings of music.
