Monvelyno Alexis is a Haitian musician in the sanba tradition. The movement derives from the style of Haitian mizik racine and began with the musician Lesly Louis Marcelin who performs as "Sanba Zao." Alexis performs throughout the world and has several residencies in Brooklyn, NY, where he lives. Alexis is also a painter who uses Veve imagery of Vodou. In this interview, Alexis covers his musical career, his work as a painter, and the deeply ingrained spirituality he has as a Haitian musician in the Diaspora. Interviewer: Kevin Mason Miami, FL
