Live ceremonial music, studio recordings and popular songs from Haiti. Conceived, compiled and produced by Elizabeth McAlister. Notes by Elizabeth McAlister, Gage Averill, Gerdes Fleurent, David Yih, and others. Produced in association with the museum exhibition and exhibition catalog, Sacred Arts of Haitian Vodou, curated by Donald Cosentino and presented by the Fowler Museum of Cultural History at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Rhythms of Rapture "Features recent innovations and traditional roots of this potent music. Cuts from live Vodou ceremonies are juxtaposed with performances by well-known Haitian artists, such as Boukman Experyans, RaRa Machine, Boukan Ginen and RAM. A cascade of sounds—Haitian Kreyol, the blowing of a conch shell, powerful drumming, electric guitar, synthesizers, sounds of clay pots, bells, and gourd rattles—build compelling rhythmic cross-currents. Enclosed notes examine the music’s political and spiritual base. Portions of the proceeds from the sale of this recording go to benefit Haitian grassroots community projects. "
