Please Join Us For “Mizik Se Lanmou” on Saturday, June 13th Featuring Rara Tou Limen & More!
SKIN Presents:
“Mizik Se Lanmou”
Saturday, June 13th 2015
Every harmony, struggle, triumph and desire craves it’s own unique dance. These moments invite us to our own wild & vibrant existence, a soul-shimmy like nobody’s watching. They remind us that we are each a symphony of uniqueness, a refuge of rhythm, a groove of good-will, a concert of kinship and community. If music is our chosen guide, love is the path that it follows. And if music is love, then dancing to the beat of our favorite drum is the best poem ever written.
It is with honor that we invite you to, “Mizik Se Lanmou” – an exceptional evening featuring live performances by renowned Haitian Drum & Dance Company Rara Tou Limen, an Artisan Village boasting local talent, late night eats made with love, multiple rooms of music layered thick with percussion & bass – all an invitation for merry making and spirit swaying.
