Next month jazz and world music fans will enjoy the rhythmic tunes of Bookman Eksperyans, Kassav, Jeffrey Osborne, The Wailers, Bebe Winans, Angelique Kidjo and others in five different venues across the island. “We usually only have two guest artists from Haiti at the festival, “ a source said. “This year, we’re excited to welcome Bookman Eksperyans with their unique vodou-rock style.” The band will take the opportunity to promote its latest album “La Revolte des Zombies” and have a CD signing.
