about

***** - Songlines

This wildly acclaimed Port-au-Prince-based artist delivers an unforgettable 2nd album Pelerinaj (Pilgrimage). He blends sacred chants and traditional rhythms with elements of funk, jazz, rock, and electronic music. His avant-garde take on the tradition.

The vodou priest, singer, actor, and choreographer Erol Josue is on a mission to dispel the myths and misconceptions about Haiti's religion with his new album in fifteen years.

His 2007 debut album Regleman had proved him an artist to be reckoned with. His reputation as a sort of spiritual sage, an expert on Haitian history and culture. Josue is ready to once more put his spiritual faculties intermingle with his musical power to provide solace to his community while building a bridge to others.

The album is an ambitious, even epic, work with a reach that spans a lifetime from his childhood through his journey outside of Haiti and to his eventual return to his birthplace.

"I'm presenting a way of life using sacred and secular language," he says. "Even though these songs were composed for musicians to play, not for use in rituals, they represent spiritual knowledge."
