Best of The Beat on Afropop: Vodou in Brooklyn
This week’s edition of “Best of The Beat” is occasioned by the upcoming Frisner Augustin Memorial Drum Concert to be held on June 16 at the New School in New York. More information is available on Afropop.org here.
Augustin was a teacher and master of Haitian ritual drumming, and a cornerstone of Haitian community and culture in New York, until his passing in 2012. Each year following, his Makandal Troupe has honored his memory with a presentation of traditional music played by New York-based Haitian ensembles.
