Frisner Augustin and Makandal performed the sacred rites of Vodou for the Tokyo Summer Festival in July 2007. This excerpt from a performance at Sogetsu Hall features the sound and power of Djouba, evoking the earth, spirits of the earth, and people of the land. Note the artistry of the master drum, which keeps its voice close to the earth to wake up the Djouba nation and make their feet move. Also playing in this clip, from the right: Steve Deats (second drum), Morgan Zwerlein (third drum), and Marc Etienne (bass drum).
