JOIN US TODAY at the Forum for Scholars & Publics to hear Lakou Mizik!

Tomorrow at FSP: Join us at 12 for the Haitian band Lakou Mizik. Band Members Steeve Valcourt, Sanba Zao, and Jonas Attis will present alongside creative director Zach Niles. Moderated by Dasha Chapman (Department of African & African-American Studies @ Duke University (AAAS))

Formed in the wake of the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Lakou Mizik is a diverse coalition of musicians representing a cross section of generations, faiths and musical styles. Their music reflects the African, French, Caribbean and U.S. influences that collide in Haiti. Stay for a participatory song workshop from 1:15-2p! Later that evening, Duke Coffeehouse will host a Lakou Mizik performance at 8p.
