“Project Misik: Honoring Our African Ancestors’ Legacies,” engaged neighbors through the power of interactive musical experiences.

In Project Misik, “Honoring,” Kera Washington & Zili Misik presented a public workshop and a performance in Newport, RI, employing our self-titled “New World Soul” - music that reconnects roots music of the African diaspora, including jazz, Haitian roots, highlife, reggae, samba, Cuban son, African American spirituals and neo soul - music to break down dividing lines between us - to pour a libation for the ancestors that paved the way for our existence.
