Gede is Haiti’s festival of the ancestors – akin to Mexico’s Day of the Dead, or closer to home, Halloween. In Haiti, the holiday is celebrated with music, ritual, drumming, singing, dancing, drinking and laughter. This event is produced by Rhythm Foundation in partnership with Fondasyon Zaka and Djaiye.
