		Boukman Eksperyans is the banner-bearer of mizik rasin, the roots’ music strongly coloured by Haitian African traditions.
		The group Boukman Eksperyans was founded in 1978, while the dictator ‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier was still in power, by Lolo Beabrund, whose father was a well known comedian on the island.
		Boukman Eksperyans interest in voodoo, the island’s hybrid folk-religion, is shown in the way in which it borrows old religious and African motifs from Haiti’s modern everyday culture.

	Boukman Eksperyans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The time of "Baby Doc" Duvalier and his Tonton Mancouts marks roughly the early beginnings of the group Boukman Eksperyans, who founders were Lolo Beaubrun and his wife Mimerose.
		His father was kind of the Bill Cosby of Haiti and while on tour in the United States brought back a James Brown LP which left a lasting impression on Lolo.
		The traditional roots instruments were replaced by electric instruments, like the bass guitar and two guitars played by members like Eddy Francois and Daniel 'Daby' Beaubrun, Lolo's brother and the band's chief arranger.

	Boukman Eksperyans
		The story of Boukman Eksperyans is one of complicated and chaotic political upheavals, one of danger and subterfuge, one of exciting political and social changes, and, not least of all, one of an exhilarating and compelling musical journey in search of roots.
		Boukman Dutty, the band's namesake, was a Jamaican-born Vodou priest (and an obvious inspiration for the band) who was at the forefront of the revolution that resulted in freedom for Haiti from French colonialism and slavery in 1804.
		The members of Boukman Eksperyans were able to continue partly because of their social status and partly because they had reached a level of popularity that made it more difficult, but by no means impossible, for the military to harass them.

	African Music Encyclopedia: Boukman Eksperyans
		Boukman Eksperyans introduced a musical revolution in Haiti in the late-'80s when they overthrew the popular compas music with their new sound Vodou Adjae (also the title of their first album).
		Boukman's sound merged dance music with Haiti's religious preoccupation with Vodou (one of the many forms the Yoruban religion took after the Diaspora).
		Boukman Eksperyans spread their Vodou unifying spiritual message throughout the world with their artful blend of traditional Haitian rhythms with rock, reggae, and Caribbean sounds.

	Press: Haiti’s burning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Boukman Eksperyans is Haiti’s revolutionary band, and it’s no coincidence that the group is working with Tuff Gong, the label that carries on the Bob Marley legacy.
		Boukman Eksperyans’ first two albums were so incendiary and anti-military that the band was forced into exile by the military government that overthrew President Jean-Bertrande Aristide in 1991.
		Many Boukman songs are mini-suites with sections separated by abrupt rhythm changes, as in the excellent “Peye Loa Yo,” but sometimes the same effect is produced by the transition from one cut to the next.

		Boukman Eksperyans are alchemists par excellance, mixing very African traditional instruments and rhythms with rock guitar, funk and reggae bass lines.
		Boukman's live performances in those years were often played out under the shadow of the intimidation tactics of the security services.
		Boukman Eksperyans have been approaching greatness over their last two releases and it is to be hoped that next time out all of the elements that go into making a truly great recording will come together for them.

		"Not just as a musician but as a human, there are certain things you can't accept in society," says Beaubrun, of Boukman Eksperyans, a group named for a slave who helped spark Haiti's uprising against the French 200 years ago.
		Brushing his graying dreadlocks aside, he says Aristide's increasingly violent, corrupt rule was the reason he lent his songs and celebrity to the protests that swept Haiti in the months before the president fled in February.
		After an attack by pro-government gangs that severely damamged the rector of Haiti's State University in December, Boukman played at a rally at the school along with such local bands as Sweet Micky and Jah Nesta.

		Hinds is starting to sound his age, but he and his band deliver chestnuts like "Teach the Youth," "Let Jah Arise" and "Carry Go Bring Come" with the authority of experience and the energy of youth.
		The Haitian aggro-beat of Boukman Eksperyans sounds a little out of place here, but it still sounds great.

		This "racine" or Haitian roots band's fourth LP "Revolution," kicks off with "Sevelen/Sukiyaki (No More Excuses for the War)" -- a searing and wildly imaginative reconception of the classic Japanese ditty -- and runs on high octane through all 13 tracks.
		This is the best yet from a world music favorite known for blending excitement (hypnotic chanting, pounding drums, "Lolo" Beabrun's impassioned wails) with Western pop forms (blistering guitar raves and jangly keyboard riffs).
