Reconnecting Haitian mizik rasin, Jamaican roots reggae, Afro-Brazilian samba, Afro-Cuban son, and African American spirituals, blues, jazz and neo soul, Zili Misik honors its influences while creating a sound that is uniquely its own: New World Soul! Powerful Haitian, Brazilian and West African rhythms infuse Zili's original creations and traditional folksongs. Zili retraces routes of forced exile and cultural resistance through diasporic rhythm and song; their captivating sounds evoke the African continent. The women of this group trace their roots to 5 countries and 3 continents, and have been bridging cultures, generations, and continents for 11 years.

ALL FEMALE, "Zili" is named for Haitian spiritual entity, "Ezili" who is envisaged as mother, lover, and warrior. Zili Misik's songs are sensual, political, self-reflective, positive, and invoke love. Zili's lyrics glide seamlessly from English to Kreyol to Portuguese to Spanish, spinning tales and visions of lives lived and yet to be.

Zili Misik has won a Boston Music Award for Outstanding International Music, and has been nominated every year from 2007!
