Lakou Mizik from Haiti returns to the Center for Arts at the Armory for another mystical, soulful, dance party inducing live show.
Lakou Mizik is a powerhouse collective of Haitian roots music with an energy and a mix of styles that feels ethereal and familiar at the same time. The band came together in the wake of the 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti to show the world that their country was much more than the sum of headlines that were being shot around the globe, and that message is even more relevant today. Their latest album, “Leave the Bones,” is a ground-breaking collaboration between the multigenerational Lakou Mizik and Grammy-winning electronic musician Joseph Ray. Their album “HaitiaNola,” celebrating the shared cultural roots of Haiti and New Orleans with noted guests including the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, will also surely get you in the mood for this not-to-be-missed concert.
Today, with their positive messages and roots revival music, they have become one of Haiti’s hottest exports and have gained an international following with their critically acclaimed debut album “Wa Di Yo.”
Join us on November 15th to experience Lakou Mizik! Doors open at 7:00 PM, the concert will start at 8:00 PM. Boston-based Haitian band Rara Bel Poze will open!
Tickets purchased for Lakou Mizik are non-refundable. All sales are final.

Lakou Mizik soti Ayiti retounen nan Center for Arts at the Armory (Somerville) la pou yon lòt pèfòmans mistik, nanm ak vibran.
Lakou Mizik se yon pisans kolektif mizik rasin ayisyen ki gen yon enèji ak yon melanj de estil ki santi yo etere ak abitye an menm tan. Gwoup la te mete tèt yo ansanm apre tranblemanntè 2010 ki te devaste Ayiti a pou montre mond lan ke peyi yo te pi plis pase sòm tit yo t ap tire sou lemonn, e mesaj sa a pi enpòtan toujou jodi a. Dènye album yo a, "Leave the Bones," se yon kolaborasyon revolisyonè ant plizyè jenerasyon Lakou Mizik ak mizisyen elektwonik Joseph Ray ki te genyen Grammy. Albòm yo a “HaitiaNola,” selebre rasin kiltirèl pataje Ayiti ak New Orleans ak envite ki gen ladann Preservation Hall Jazz Band, pral siman mete w nan atitid pou konsè sa a pa dwe rate.
Jodi a, ak mesaj pozitif yo ak mizik renesans rasin yo, yo te vin youn nan ekspòtasyon pi cho an Ayiti e yo te genyen yon siy entènasyonal ak premye album yo aklame kritik "Wa Di Yo."
Rejwenn nou le 15 Novanm pou nou fè eksperyans Lakou Mizik! Pòt yo louvri a 7:00 PM, konsè a ap kòmanse a 8:00 PM. Gwoup Ayisyen Rara Bel Poze ki baze nan Boston ap ouvri!
