Lakou Mizik is a collective formed after the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010, with the strong idea of restoring pride, strength, and hope to this ravaged island. Steeve Valcour (vocals / guitar), Jonas Attis (vocals) and Zach Niles (American producer) decided to assemble an outstanding lineup to offer something to combat the prevailing gloom. HaitiaNola, their new album, follows their first release in 2016. It is an exploration of the many cultural connections between Haiti and New Orleans. Under the guidance of producer Eric Heigle (Lost Bayou Ramblers, Arcade Fire, The Soul Rebels), HaitiaNola features an impressive list of collaborations: Trombone Shorty, Tank from Tank & The Bangas, Win Butler & Régine Chassagne from Arcade Fire, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Cyril Neville, Jon Cleary, Leyla McCalla, The Soul Rebels, Lost Bayou Ramblers, 79rs Gang, Raja Kassis (Antibalas), Anders Osborne.
