Featured Performance: Jakobo & Akbadja Zile
6pm

Singer, percussionist, and bandleader Jean Dorce, known as “Jakobo” by friends and fans, founded his group, Akbadja Zile in 2012. The band brings World Beat to new vibrational levels by presenting fusion music based firmly in the spiritual traditions of rural Haiti to new audiences. Akbadja Zile’s emphasis on traditional Haitian rhythms such as Dahomey, Nago, Congo, and rara, is a wake-up call to Haitians both at home and in the diaspora, as well as to World Beat fans around the world.
