Description

Microfundo Campaign: Projector for multi-media stage presentation.

The all-women band Zili Misik is based in Boston and tours outside New England. Each of its songs takes the listener on a long voyage through a spectrum of musical styles, and even languages. The band’s name comes from the strong female Haitian spirit Ezili, and Haiti has the strongest presence in Zili’s songs, but the eight-member band’s focus is much broader than that.

In addition to Haiti, Zili’s songs use musical styles from Ghana, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Cape Verde, Brazil, Cuba, Palestine, and the US. Zili band members have eclectic musical backgrounds, and roots in the US, Trinidad, Japan, and the Philippines. Zili wants to combine all of these musics to provide a reconnection, to create a community that is heard in the music so that it’s not lost, it doesn’t become a stew, where you can’t really identify different musical styles, but so that you begin to hear all these different styles bumping up against each other and moving together.

People can see themselves in this music. When people who have no connection to Haiti, to Cape Verde, to Brazil, to California, feel that connection, it encourages them to go and find out why, to find out about the music, to find out, outside of Zili, where it comes from, why are people involved in it, what’s it performed for, what’s the tradition, what’s the culture, and what it's like.
