A mainstay in the East Coast music scene, Tjovi Ginen is an ensemble of seasoned musicians representing their Latin, African and American culture and history all supported by Vodou rhythms and Haitian chants. Their lyrics lace each track with Reggae, Ska and Jamaican dub poetry which unfold stories of struggle and triumph, pain and power, and love for each other and ourselves.

This performance is a tribute to Ralph Gasparello, founding band member and bass player.
