The seed for Lakou Mizik’s second album, HaitiaNola, was planted in 2017 when the band was invited to play the legendary New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. It was an eye-opening pilgrimage to the mythical music city and the band members immediately felt a connection. The music, the food, the architecture all reminded them of home.
"The rhythms and incantations of voodoo, the trumpeting of rara carnival music and hearty call-and-response vocal harmonies find their way to galloping, exultant dance grooves.” – New York Times
