They call me Damballah-Weddo on one side,

La Dominadora on the other,

But I’m more than that.

I’m truth radiating through an entire island.

I’m both so they’ll call me Gede-Doublye, too.

Second-sighted, double-headed,

a Haitian-Dominican viper among men.

God has blessed me eternally.

Hi! Do you listen to Mizik Rasin??? If so, what do you think of the following groups: RAM, Koudjay, Boukman Eksperyans and Boukan Ginen? Which of these groups do you like the most?

Hello!

I do listen to a lot of mizik rasin...it has largely been how I have learned chante lwa!

I haven't listened to Koudjay or Boukan Ginen as much as I have listened to RAM or Boukman Eksperyans, so I am less familiar with them. RAM and BE both do traditional chante lwa with a slower melodic approach than straight temple-style chante lwa. I love how upbeat all of those groups are.

My current faves are Racine Figuier, Racine Kanga, Racine Mapou, Azor, Rasin Ayiti, Manbo Weena, Chouk Bwa Libète, and Sò Anne. James Germain also does really beautiful chante lwa. Sò Anne's chante lwa in particular has been really great for helping me learn...lots of houngenikon sing really fast, even in recording, but Sò Anne does not. Great stuff.

For folks reading who are interested in mizik rasin (literally root music), Spotify has a really great collection of it as well as all kinds of other Haitian music too!
