Scope and content
This interview is one of a series with houngan and world-beat performer Erol Josué. This meeting took place at his home in the Design District area of Miami, the bustling artistic community and southern entrance into Little Haiti. This afternoon meeting took place on June 17th, 2011 and addressed several questions of Josué's role as a voudou priest and a spiritual healer and the importance of the song "Twa Fey" in the context to the Haitian Diaspora and healing. Erol Josué is a performer who has presented the music of Haiti worldwide, often seeking to educate his audiences about his culture and dispelling myths about voudou spirituality. One question he seeks to address is why Haitian performers actively take on educational roles in their music and if this impedes on creative innovation in such music in world markets.
