After playing Hard Voodoo Jazz for almost four years in New York, I moved to Boston where the upbeat tempo and very dissonant chords presented a rather challenging listening experience for my audience. I tried to find a fine line in order to make them more comfortable and a niche over there at the same time by playing Soft Voodoo Jazz and tunes such as “Mwen Manke w Sovajman” (I’m Missing You Savagely), and “Balade Manman We” (A ballad for My Mom) are a testimony of such an effort. The influence of Brazilian music spices tunes such as “Hesou” (Jesus) and “Marasa” (Twins). In fact, in the last I talked about the similarities between Voodoo and Macumba and the musical intonations in both Haitian and Brazilian music.
