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 is grounded in his commitment to Applied Ethnomusicology\, an approach that emphasizes tangible benefits for the people we study as well as the researcher. 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. The Center welcomes exchange students and colleagues interested in the culture\, traditional music and dance of Haiti. The center offers Wellesley students on site courses on Haitian Music\, Dance\, and Culture and produce performances from Wellesley’s “Yanvalou Drum and Dance Ensemble”\, the performing ensemble co-founded in 1990 by Dr. Fleurant and his former student with Ms. Kera Washington. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Information\n\n\n\nPlease see below for additional information regarding the program.
