She is the grandniece of famous Haitian saxophonist-composer Raoul Guillaume as well as Guy Durosier\, a versatile Haitian singer and organist whom Edith Piaf once called ”the living breath of Haiti’. Upon immigrating to the USA\, she received scholarships to pursue her higher education in piano performance and the healing arts leading her to find a wholistic path in pursuing her passions in ancient civilizations through her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. In addition to her clinical practice and teaching appointments\, she regularly performs and produces with a variety of musicians and has recently been working on music scoring for films which led her to compose the theme song for a short Haitian film entitled “Brother Peace” featuring historian Bayina Bello. Her current performance instillation “Vodou Alchemy” is an avant-garde concept that weaves the Haitian traditional songbook with improvised sound and somatic therapy principles to immerse the audience in a profound ceremonial healing journey.  \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Gerdès FleurantAssociate Professor Emeritus of Music\n\n\n\nDr. Gerdès Fleurant is an Ethnomusicologist focusing on the folk\, ritual\, and traditional music of Africa and the Americas\, with specialization on the culture and rhythms of the Rada Rite of Haitian Vodou. \n\n\n\nHe teaches courses on the music of Africa\, Afro-America\, the Caribbean (Brazil\, Cuba\, and Haiti)\, world music\, and fieldwork/research methods in Ethnomusicology.

His research on the Rada Rite of Haitian Vodou\, presented in his book Dancing Spirits: Rituals and Rhythms of Haitian Vodun\, the Rada Rite\, is considered a landmark\, serving as a basis for the work of several emerging scholars and dancers to date. As a founding member of the Haitian Studies Association (HSA) and The Congress of Santa Barbara (KOSANBA)\, the Scholarly Association for the Study of Haitian Vodou\, he participates actively in the socio-political life of Haiti. He served as a consultant to the Ministry of Culture\, developing “Le Plan National de la Culture\,” and was the first “Recteur” of the University of the Central Plateau (UPC) in a valiant effort to develop a public higher education network outside of Port-au-Prince\, the capital city.Together with his spouse\, Florienne\, the couple built and operate the Léocardie & Alexandre Kenscoff Cultural Center (C-CLAK) and the Gawou Ginou School (GGS) in Mirebalais\, a pivotal town in Haiti’s Central Plateau.
