The Creole Choir of Cuba are heading out on tour. In Cuba the band is called Desandann, (Descendents).  Haitians, for many years, found refuge from the political storms of their home country in Haiti (there are some twists were after the Haitian revolution Haitains wound up enslaved in Cuba but you can read the history on that yourself). The songs they choir sing are re-imagined versions of the songs of their ancestors who were slaves in Haiti. Many of the songs date back to the 1800s but they have a modern twist.

This is the first time they have toured extensively in the USA. No Miami date. I wonder why? Hmmm.

The band sing in English, French and Creole. They have played all over the world but especially in Cuba and in Haiti as part of Cuba’s relief effort after last year’s devastating earthquake. The group held workshops with children in camps and performed.

Their record, Tande-La, is out now digitally. It comes out in physical form September 13.
