  Simbi in English   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Simbi, a multicultural group from Gothenburg, Sweden, make their own blend of beautiful and magical voodoo songs from Haiti, by mixing this music with Afro Cuban percussion, jazz and rock to form a powerful and groovy but distinctly different kind of world music.
Simbi is music at the crossroads, the meeting place where the true "creole" culture of our age of migration and globalisation is created.
Simbi has done a fine job in crafting this album of Haitian roots music and their cross-cultural musical foray deserves to be appreciated on its own merits, but equally important is their role in further heightening world consciousness about Haitian music and stimulating global tastes for the same.

Simbi says the selection process for a driver for passenger public service vehicle industry in developed countries "is thorough, hence only the best become passenger public service drivers".

 Brians Greyhound Racing
Even when Top Simbi was in full training, and racing in top races at the Gabba, he still got his daily run in the park....
Top Simbi began his career at the Gabba after winning a Maiden qualifying trial in 33.79 sec and then appearing on the track in a 558 metre Maiden event on 26/10/72.
Top Simbi's record of starts, wins and times, is proof that not only was he the best dog to race at the Gabba - but probably deserves to be regarded as a true champion by Australian standards.

 West-Central African Nature Spirits in the South Carolina Lowcountry
Violent displays by simbi spirits demonstrated their Other Worldly power, just as the ability to spill the blood of wild animals showed a hunter's access to the same power or the capacity to spill human blood authenticated a chief's rightful use of it.
This interpretation of simbi spirits in the Lowcountry continues the line of research that emphasizes the continued relevance and vitality of ancestral cultures to enslaved people, who consciously maintained African traditions in the Americas.
While the present inquiry into Lowcountry simbi spirits recognizes the imaginative efforts of Africans to understand and adapt to their American circumstances, it does not exclude the fundamental importance of ancestral African culture in shaping the direction of such creative endeavors.

 Voodoo Messenger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The design is made to summon a particular god or goddess, known collectively as loas, and serves as the prelude to a spiritual ceremony.
Simbi is the Sun's messenger, with the power to confer the ability needed to successfully accomplish a difficult task.
Milo Rigaud, author of the definitive Secrets of Voodoo, equates Simbi with the archetypal Thoth-Hermes-Mercury as the one "who leads the dead in all directions bordered by the four magic orients of the cross." In the vaster and more flexible world of the spirit, Simbi guides us from the visible to the invisible.

 Windows on Haiti: Serge Bellegarde's Music CD Review
Even though music is a universal language, it is another matter for a musician to be able to understand the music from another land, from a culture different from his, to apprehend the many subtleties involved and to be able to not only play it well, but to play with feeling.
Simbi is a European group playing Haitian folkloric beats with a distinct jazz-rock touch.
The congo beat goes in and out, weaving throughout the song, and that seems to be Simbi's style : to make it a point to harmonize different Haitian folkloric beats with hip-hop, jazz, rock etc., but always keeping the basic Haitian folkloric beat as the base, the common denominator.

 Farmer Experimentation and Innovation. A case study of knowledge generation processes in agroforestry systems in Rwanda
Consultants in Maraba and Simbi appeared to be much more active in discussing problems and experiences than their counterparts in Kibingo, in spite of the development assistance provided to farmers in Karama.
This could be due to the fact that these projects worked with a few pilot farmers to the exclusion and neglect of the general farm population, creating a small, select group of elite farmers on whom resources and efforts were concentrated.
Particularly noticeable is the high percentage of tree experts in Maraba and Simbi who cooperated to test fertilizers (90.9 percent), improved seeds (72.2 percent) and new cropping practices (72.7 percent and 63.6 percent in Maraba and Simbi respectively).
