Double fusion

Haiti may be an impoverished nation from an economic standpoint, but the country’s musical heritage is overflowing with the sonic wealth of French, Spanish, African, Arab and native Taino traditions. Experience the vibrant results of Haitian music further fused with Brazilian music and jazz at a concert by Gifrants and his band at 8 p.m. at Studio 99 at 115 Main St. in Nashua.

The Haitian-born-and-raised guitarist and singer Gifrants will be joined by vocalist Ninon, pianist Ken Cook, bassist Jane Wang, guitarist Patrick Mottaz, Fritz Joseph on percussion, and Andreas Brade on drums as he performs everything from mellow ballads to more upbeat numbers that will have you dancing all the way home.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. For more information, call 562-5179 or visit www.studio99nashua.com. To learn more about Gifrants and his music, go to www.gifrants.com.
