Influential Haitian band Boukman Eksperyans is set to perform on Thursday, August 29 at 7:30 pm at the Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium. Admission is free, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Boukman Eksperyans piloted a musical revolution with its debut album, Voudou Adjae. This splendid release introduced the world to Boukman Eksperyans’ high-energy sound that combines traditional Haitian and Caribbean rhythms with rock and reggae.
Since their appearance on the world music scene, Boukman has continued to produce critically acclaimed albums and attract audiences around the world—from Haiti (where they draw tens of thousands of fans per show) to the Caribbean, throughout North America, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Africa—both as a headlining act and alongside Wyclef Jean, Femi Kuti, and Baba Maal.
David Rubenstein Atrium, Broadway between 62nd and 63rd Streets.
