Buyu could not resist the calling of infusing the similar African roots of both Haitian music and American Jazz into these story-telling melodies." "Buyu has created a fruitful combination of traditional Afro-Haitian beats with the smooth improvisational grooves of enticing bass lines, melodic brass solos & piano explorations in styles that take after those of American Jazz greats such as John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter." "Coming from a jazz perspective, Buyu has revealed a natural relationship between the complex polyrhythmic structures in both the North American form and the Afro-Caribbean sound of traditional Haitian music." "This fusion is the birth of a new musical style that encompasses the two and sustains the mix effortlessly. Although this subgenre of World Jazz is considered cutting edge, Buyu's recordings and live performances are executed with a spirit and level of mastery that invoke a gentle blend of harmonies that have matured on Haitian and American stages for generations." "Buyu’s melodies are inspired from the rich repertoire of Afro-Haitian music sustained with modern jazz harmonies." 307 stuyvesant ave (corner of halsey st) | brooklyn a/c train to Utica, 26/25/38/52 buses to stuyvesant ave 718.919.8001 | myspace.com/solomonsporchcafe   View New York events in surrounding cities: West Bury   Add Event
