REGLEMAN CD


Erol Josué's "Régleman" CD out now.

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO

Raised in Haiti and now based in the United States, Josué integrates his triple calling as singer, choreographer, and ordained Vodou priest in an exceptional debut that parallels the liturgy of a Vodou ceremony with detours into layered electronics and tender lyrical passages reminiscent of French chanson. - Boston Globe

New York Musician Cherishes Vodou Cultural Roots

New York City, the ultimate American melting pot, has long welcomed people of all nationalities, races, backgrounds and religions. A recent addition to the city's vibrant mix is Erol Josué, a vodou priest from Haiti, who is making his mark as a musician.

In the three years since he came to New York, Erol Josué has worked to establish himself as a vodou priest, an activist in the Haitian community, and a musician.

His music, which he characterizes as "world beat", has its roots in his family's vodoun tradition, -- a tradition, Erol Josué says, focuses on Haitian culture, on healing and helping people .
