CINEMATEQUE

LADIES & GENTS:

I have recently become part of an incredible film/music/documentary project depicting the lives of an emerging Haitian "Rara" Band. For the non-Rara connoisseurs out there, "Rara" music is described as "part carnival, part vodou ceremony and grassroots protest." I'd describe it as similar to Dominican "Palo" music or Honduran "Punta." All forms have been vehemently opposed by Caribbean/Latin communities at large and have been completely vilified by the church--for obvious reasons. This is an amazing cultural journey and I invite all of my online fam to come out and support!

Please come out and support sneak preview TOMORROW, Thurs. 8/28 AT BAM in Brooklyn.

Show Times: 4:30pm, 6:50, and 9:15pm
