Music reviews of Revolution
Music Review: Bloody Essential - I can't believed it could get louder!
Rating: 5 Stars
"In Haiti, popular discontent with the island's dictators and juntas surfaced through the music. When bands fused folkloric forms with amplified pop music, the "mizik rasin" (roots music) movement was born. The movement gained an international profile when BOUKMAN EKSPERYANS released the landmark Vodou Adjae album in 1990". The story of Boukman Eksperyans is one of complicated, chaotic political upheavals, one of danger, struggles and not least of all, one of an exhilarating, compelling musical journey in search of roots, social changes, political freedom and justice. During the election in Haiti BOUKMAN EKSPERYANS began to be associated with the Aristide political party as the Catholic priest was rising to power. Aristide, too, supported BOUKMAN EKSPERYANS music of roots, culture, social (political) changes for the Haitian people and roots bands began sprouting up throughout Haiti (similar to grunge after Nevermind). BOUKMAN EKSPERYANS demonstrated their endorsement of Aristide by playing at his inauguration. The fall of Aristide meant a discontinuation of support for roots bands and only a few well-established ones, including BOUKMAN EKSPERYANS, survived. The song "Kalfour Danjere/Dangerous Crossroads," from their second album of the same name, elicited death threats and phone taps but the band played on. Even if one doesn't understand the words to "Kalfour Danjere," the rhythms and voices is a compelling call to action. Anyway, REVOLUTION their 1998 release is maybe their best, that's a hard statement to make because every one of this group project thus far has been tremendous. The world need to wake up, we are pronouncing Rage Against The Machine to be a one-of-a-kind genius but it doesn't even take hindsight to realize that this group is a genius. REVOLUTION is loud, energetic, angry, defiant, intelligent and in nearly every track BOUKMAN EKSPERYANS music declares how urgent their mission and vision is. To put simple, the fist on the album cover says it all, REVOLUTION is truely a REVOLUTION.
