Reconnecting Haitian mizik rasin, Jamaican roots reggae, Afro-Brazilian samba, Afro-Cuban son, and African American spirituals, blues, jazz, and neo-soul, Zili Misik – led by Kera Washington, and including students Rajdulari Barnes, Krystal Johnson, Hinako Sato, and alumnae Joy Roster, Lexi Havlin and Jobeth Umali – honors its influences while creating a sound that is uniquely its own. Zili Misik’s songs are sensual, political, self-reflective, positive, and the lyrics invoke love, gliding seamlessly from English to Kreyòl to Portuguese to Spanish.
