SUMMARY:Mizik Ayiti! Residency Late Spring Series | Rasin Okan
DESCRIPTION:Join HCX on Thursdays for the Mizik Ayiti! Residency Series. The Spring residency will be held by Rasin Okan! \nThis residency honors the legacy of mizik rasin in Haiti and abroad and its role in collective storytelling. Rasin Okan will share popular folk songs from legends such as Lenord Fortune (a.k.a. Azor) and Jacques Fortere (a.k.a. Wawa)\, as well as original songs that echo the courage of Haiti’s freedom fighters while calling us to remember\, reconnect\, and rise. This residency is a sacred pilgrimage home—a journey for healing\, reflection\, and protection. We invite you to take this symbolic trip with us through rhythm\, drum\, dance\, and song. Let the music move your spirit. Let the memory ignite your soul. \n45-minute performances will take place at 6:30 & 7:45 PM on each Thursday. \n\nAbout Rasin Okan: Born of Haiti’s mizik rasin movement\, Rasin Okan is a Brooklyn-based Haitian roots ensemble. In the spirit of rasin sèch (directly translated to dry roots)\, Rasin Okan emphasizes the sounds and songs of traditional Haitian Vodou ceremonial music without much electric accompaniment. Led and co-founded by Jean E. Montina\, Sanba Mayombe\, the group writes original songs and evocative folk music to insight the revolutionary spirit of Haiti’s freedom fighters\, set to a pulsating rhythm. \nMembers: Jean E Montina (Sanba Mayombe)\, Trudy Pierre (Sanba Verite)\, Wilgainson Toussaint (Sanba Nènèl)\, Gregory Fanor (Atis Alèz)\, Véronëque Ignace (Awoyo) \n\nTickets include a complimentary beverage.\nSpecial pop-up offerings from Bon Pâtés.\nLimited capacity\, RSVP strongly recommended.

SUMMARY:I’m Almost There
DESCRIPTION:Love at first sight is easy… letting it through the front door is a freaking Odyssey. \nAll he wants to do is let the perfect man in. But can he overcome his unhinged neighbor\, a seductive cult\, a self-obsessed vampire\, and a cat intent on dragging him to hell? \nWritten and performed by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country\, Gossip Girl) and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night\, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit)\, I’m Almost There is a rueful\, hilarious\, and poignant modern love story in song about a man crossing a sea of doubts to find happiness… and good coffee. Initially developed by the award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer\, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe hit comes to BAM for a three-week run ahead of a major US tour. \nJoined onstage by musicians Erin Hill (harp/vocals) and Noah Max Amick (bass)\, Almond weaves his deeply personal\, universally relatable songs into a luminous\, lyrical confession about fear\, longing\, and the courage it takes to let love in. It’s intimate yet epic and laugh-out-loud funny in all the places it hurts most. \nI’m Almost There was commissioned by Audible and first produced in Edinburgh and New York City by Audible\, Francesca Moody Productions\, and DryWrite.
