Vodou Drums In Haiti 2 Soul Jazz Records Presents - LP 5026328003719

There's an old saying that truth is stranger than fiction. As scientists dive deeper into the very nature of the universe, the truth becomes so bizarre as to be almost inconceivable―multiple universes, parallel dimensions, dark matter, wormholes . . . Wouldn't it be amazing if there were already a map to these discoveries? There is such a map, and it's found deep within the Afro-Caribbean religious system commonly called Vodou. Now you can learn how to traverse these dimensions, contact spiritual entities, and incorporate the tenets of Vodou into your own spiritual path by using Dr. Reginald Crosley's The Vodou Quantum Leap. Dr. Crosley, a physician of Internal Medicine and Nephrology, is familiar with both the scientific and spiritual world. He was raised with Vodou and has studied the new sciences for years. Using his vast knowledge of sciences, religion and spirituality, he has written a book that will open your mind and change your life. Learn the powerful secrets of direct communication with the Loa (gods) which is commonly called "possession" or "channeling." This ancient practice has been studied extensively, and this book presents techniques that can allow you to safely experience this ecstatic reality. Dr. Crosley examines historic beliefs in an afterlife and how they differ from culture to culture. Then he explains the Vodou interpretation: there are two souls! One, the semido, "retains hunger for food, drink, sex, music, and dance." That's why practitioners of Vodou provide food, drink and other comforts in the tomb. The second soul or selido, does not return to visit the world of the living. You'll also learn the secrets of the mysterious zin, a jar that holds hair and fingernail parings. These are a link to the semido. From time to time a fire ritual is held to revivify the hair and nail clippings. Discover the bizarre truth about our universe when you take The Vodou Quantum Leap.

The first comprehensive collection of Vodou sacred literature in bilingual form.

Most drummers have an understanding of two of the three major African-derived rhythmic traditions: Cuban and Brazilian. Vodou Drumset has been designed by authors Armstrong and Knepper to introduce the third influential African-derived tradition to the drumset player's repertoire. Afro-Haitian rhythms (including traditional styles, such as Ibo, Nago and Vanvalou) represent an enormously rich, but often neglected tradition that will add a new, nearly endless range of possibilities to the store of techniques and materials available to a creative modern drummer. This book, which includes a play-along CD, contains a host of materials that will be useful to drumset players, drum loop designers, the aspiring ethomusicologist and other persons curious about the unusual varieties of rhythmic practice and drum techniques.

Has a sturdy binding with some shelf wear. May have some markings or highlighting. Used copies may not include access codes or Cd's. Slight bending may be present.

While the Haitian musical tradition is probably best known for the Vodou-inspired roots music that helped topple the two-generation Duvalier dictatorship, the nation’s troubled history of civil unrest and its tangled relationship with the United States is more intensely experienced through its art music, which combines French and German elements of classical music with Haiti's indigenous folk music. Vodou Nation examines art music by Haitian and African American composers who were inspired by Haiti’s history as a nation created by slave revolt. Around the time of the United States’s occupation of Haiti in 1915, African American composers began to incorporate Vodou-inspired musical idioms to showcase black artistry and protest white oppression. Together with Haitian musicians, these composers helped create what Michael Largey calls the “Vodou Nation,” an ideal vision of Haiti that championed its African-based culture as a bulwark against America’s imperialism. Highlighting the contributions of many Haitian and African American composers who wrote music that brought rhythms and melodies of the Vodou ceremony to local and international audiences, Vodou Nation sheds light on a black cosmopolitan musical tradition that was deeply rooted in Haitian culture and politics.

In Vodou Cosmology and the Haitian Revolution in the Enlightenment Ideals of Kant and Hegel, Vivaldi Jean-Marie begins with an interpretation of the rise of Vodou practices in Saint-Domingue which is sensitive to the social, spiritual and cultural challenges of the slaves communities in Saint-Domingue, later Haiti. He shows effectively that Vodou cosmology emerged as a spiritual, social and cultural technology for the enslaved to overcome the dissonance and brutality of slavery in Saint-Domingue. Vodou Cosmology thus assumes the tripartite role of spiritual, social and cultural compass for slaves who, concurrently with the development of Vodou, managed to establish a common ethos. Furthermore, to situate the rise of Vodou cosmology within the larger discourse of the Enlightenment and argue that it heralded a radical Enlightenment in the African diaspora, Jean-Marie compares and contrasts some aspects of the philosophies of Kant and Hegel with the social, spiritual and cultural experience of the enslaved communities of Saint-Domingue. This comparison shows that Kant and Hegel’s depiction of African Negroes’ mores and their religious practices in the colonies fails to capture that Vodou cosmology was both a mechanism of resistance and the medium to restore their social, spiritual, and cultural identity against the backdrop of the Atlantic slave trade. Also, he elaborates the Enlightenment’s conception of African Negroes as commercial currency and specifically Hegel’s view of slavery in the colonies as the manifestation of divine providence. He concludes that the significance of the Haitian Revolution lies in the fact that it ascribed freedom to people of African descent in the diaspora and is thus implicit in later themes of black freedom. The Haitian Revolution ties blackness with freedom and mapped out a radical enlightenment in the European colonies.

Vodou has often served as a scapegoat for Haiti’s problems, from political upheavals to natural disasters. This tradition of scapegoating stretches back to the nation’s founding and forms part of a contest over the legitimacy of the religion, both beyond and within Haiti’s borders. The Spirits and the Law examines that vexed history, asking why, from 1835 to 1987, Haiti banned many popular ritual practices.To find out, Kate Ramsey begins with the Haitian Revolution and its aftermath. Fearful of an independent black nation inspiring similar revolts, the United States, France, and the rest of Europe ostracized Haiti. Successive Haitian governments, seeking to counter the image of Haiti as primitive as well as contain popular organization and leadership, outlawed “spells” and, later, “superstitious practices.” While not often strictly enforced, these laws were at times the basis for attacks on Vodou by the Haitian state, the Catholic Church, and occupying U.S. forces. Beyond such offensives, Ramsey argues that in prohibiting practices considered essential for maintaining relations with the spirits, anti-Vodou laws reinforced the political marginalization, social stigmatization, and economic exploitation of the Haitian majority. At the same time, she examines the ways communities across Haiti evaded, subverted, redirected, and shaped enforcement of the laws. Analyzing the long genealogy of anti-Vodou rhetoric, Ramsey thoroughly dissects claims that the religion has impeded Haiti’s development.

Once little known outside of Haiti, Vodou flags (drapo Vodou), dazzling in color and imagery, have become popular commodities in the international art market. Works by such notable Haitian artists as Silva Joseph, Antoine Oleyant, and Yves Telemak now grace the walls of museums, art galleries, and private homes throughout the world. Shimmering with sequins and reflected light, they capture the attention of Vodou practitioners and art lovers alike. This book about Vodou flags and flagmakers is a striking revelation of the gods (Iwa) that inhabit the Vodou spirit world. The sequined works pictured here combine and juxtapose African symbols with images from Europe and the Americas and form a rich mosaic of ritual art. Inspired by myths, legends, and unique personal visions, the artists of Vodou flags interweave sacred, time-honored designs with contemporary images as they produce captivating works that are both ancient and modern. Their flags, incorporating ritual drawings, Masonic symbols, and pictures of mermaids and Catholic saints, offer viewers an encounter with the aesthetics, symbolism, and social implications of Vodou. The spiritual realm reflected in the flags is not the dark, frightening place of black magic and superstition that is stereotyped in popular culture. Instead, drapo exemplify the beauty, elegance, and enduring embrace of gods and ancestors in their present manifestations. The flags are the artists' visual testimonials that the Iwa are present and active in the lives of Vodou practitioners. Patrick Arthur Polk serves as the museum scientist and archivist for the UCLA Folk-lore and Mythology Program.

Haitian Vodou breaks away from European and American heuristic models for understanding a religio-philosophical system such as Vodou in order to form new approaches with an African ethos. The contributors to this volume, all Haitians, examine the potentially radical and transformative possibilities of the religious and philosophical ideologies of Vodou and locate its foundations more clearly within an African heritage. Essays examine Vodou’s roles in organizing rural resistance; forming political values for the transformation of Haiti; teaching social norms, values, and standards; influencing Haitian culture through art and music; merging science with philosophy, both theoretically and in the healing arts; and forming the Haitian "manbo," or priest.
