- Summary:
- Jacques Schwarz - Bart, the saxophonist and composer behind the Jazz Racine project, explains his work: “Jazz Racine is a tribute to all those anonymous, unknown artists, all those slaves who succeeded in creating and recreating the Africa they came from, through sounds, through music invented or partially reinvented through the practices of voodoo”. This film takes us on a journey between New York, Haiti and Africa, between musicians who strike just the right note, forming the harmonic rainbow of an ensemble that combines spirituality and music. Singer Erol Josué introduces us to the ritual chants of Haitian voodoo with a voice that comes from the depths of his being. This project is a collection of elements that form a whole, a brassy trance that sings of the pain of slavery and the happiness of freedom, a jazz that wants to escape, and at the same time bring together these peoples who, separated by distance, are part of the same history.
