Music
One of the biggest highlights of Bastille Day in Boston is our live music concert. This year, we are thrilled to welcome:
Listen to Sidi Touré
Lakou Mizik, a multigenerational collective of musicians from across Haiti blending Troubadou, Vodou, Rara, and Urban soul into a danceable bouyon of modern roots music. Formed in the aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, the group’s elder legends and rising young talents united in a mission to honor the healing spirit of their collective culture and communicate a message of pride, strength, and hope to their countrymen and the world.Listen to Lakou Mizik
