Joseph Ray, a Grammy-winning producer and founding member of the electronic trio NERO, discovered Haiti's vibrant music scene in 2015 while teaching at the Artist's Institute in Jacmel. Captivated by the energetic performances of Lakou Mizik, a nine-piece Haitian roots band, Ray envisioned blending his cinematic electronic production with their traditional dance rhythms. This collaboration culminated in the 2021 album "Leave the Bones," a fusion of Vodou chants, Rara dance tunes, and electronic elements, offering a fresh perspective on Haiti's rich cultural heritage.
