“The Prince of Haitian Roots Music.” A voodoo priest/musician who takes voodoo ritual music as inspiration and creates contemporary pop-influenced tracks. He’s got a nice voice and there’s some cool percussion, plus programming. Most tracks w/call-response vocals.

*2. Starts relaxed, picks up. Driving perc. 5:11
*3. Upbeat Caribbean funk/pop blend. 2:44
4. Slow/mid w/a kind of dark European feel. Lots of production. 4:31
5. Mid w/fem chorus & a sing-songy feel at times. 4:28
*6. Mid/up w/a cool funk groove & hot percussion. 3:49
*7. Relaxed and swaying. Kind of catchy. 4:21
8. Rain sounds. Slow, spare, but lovely. 4:20
9. Upbeat w/good vocals & a catchy beat. 4:52
10. Mid w/layers of vox/prog. Kids chorus. Dark, but cool. 4:01
11. Driving dancefloor beat, chanting, perc, programming. 5:43
