What a show...Hi Markus,<BR/>Good to read you again. 4am! What a show! I'm reserving tickets now for nest year! LOL. That aftershow was supposed to start at 11pm and people turned away were encouraged to just go straight there. I was tired so I passed. <BR/><BR/>Felina Backer is not a relative that I know of but you never know!<BR/><BR/>Any updates on the DVD?Alice B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12773528592013987324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15382240.post-1130347426877038762005-10-26T13:23:00.000-04:002005-10-26T13:23:00.000-04:00Hi Alice, I didnt hear too much about the after-...Hi Alice, <BR/>I didnt hear too much about the after-party(s) - think there were two which might have caused some divisions.... but the event itself didnt end until some time around 2:30am. Mozayik went back on stage at the end of the night, to back up a great young Haitian sax/flute player named Jowee Omicil. <BR/>By the time we were packed up and ready to leave, it was 4am! <BR/><BR/>Hey - are you related to Felina Backer by any chance? She is a wonderful singer who i had the opportunity to work with a few times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15382240.post-1129669837929784872005-10-18T17:10:00.000-04:002005-10-18T17:10:00.000-04:00Hey Markus,Please come back!Believe it or not I wa...Hey Markus,<BR/><BR/>Please come back!<BR/><BR/>Believe it or not I was in that line of last minute folks that went around the block. At one point though, we were told there was no hope and that we would not get in. Had I known there was a chance to get in later, I might've stuck around. How was the after-party BTW? Did Mozayik go?Alice B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12773528592013987324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15382240.post-1129666110798256302005-10-18T16:08:00.000-04:002005-10-18T16:08:00.000-04:00Thanks for your support of Mozayik, and also helpi...Thanks for your support of Mozayik, and also helping to spread the word about the Haitian Jazz Fest, even though you didnt get tickets :(<BR/><BR/>In this case - you CAN believe the hype. The festival was pretty amazing. Started almost on time (ou konnen fet Ayisyen nou...) all the artists got a chance to do their thing, the audience was REALLY into it, and there was magic in the air. Mozayik received an email from a new fan, who said she literally had tears in her eyes, she was so moved by the event. There was a line going around the corner, even though it was sold out in advance, and as people left (no re-entry) folks kept trickling in all night. <BR/><BR/>Nice blog space.... i will drop in again!<BR/><BR/>-MarkusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15382240.post-1129665049423060942005-10-18T15:50:00.000-04:002005-10-18T15:50:00.000-04:00Good to know, Markus.
