Haitian Roots Band RAM to Showcase at globalFEST 2011
By WMC_News_Dept.
Monday January 3, 2011

Haitian band RAM will be performing at globalFEST 2011 at New York City’s Webster Hall (125 E. 11th St.) on January 9.
In an era when many Haitian artists have felt forced to flee the
troubled island, RAM still plays regular Thursday night shows at the
historic Hotel Oloffson in downtown Port-au-Prince.

At the forefront of Haiti’s misik rasin movement, RAM has developed a distinctive blend of rock aesthetics, traditional Haitian sounds, and
voudou rhythms and lyrics. Its founder, Richard A. Morse, a Puerto
Rican-born, Haitian-American singer and songwriter, went back to the
country of his ancestors and fell in love with Haiti’s music and
spiritual culture.

The group that bears his initials became part of a vibrant, bold
musical protest movement that continues to challenge the authorities
and present a powerful alternate vision of Haitian culture. Thanks to
director Jonathan Demme, who caught their show at the Oloffson, RAM gained a wider international audience thanks to a track featured in the hit 1993 film, Philadelphia.
