Lahontan Valley News & Fallon Eagle Standard, Review >>
Emeline Michel is one of Haiti's most important musicians and singers. Her latest CD is Rasin Keyol (Times Square Records). The title roughly translates as Creole Roots and gives but a glimpse of what she draws upon on the recording. She intertwines many rhythms including katabou, or Haitian drums to provide the foundation for her swirling emotive vocalizations. Her six-piece, and occasionally larger, combo glides effortlessly from relaxed and oh-so-melodic tropicalia, twoubadou, a relative of Cuban son, to rumba and furiously propelled up-tempo cascading African beat numbers. 02/12/05
