Zili music bridges cultures, generations, and continents. With captivating sounds that evoke the African continent, zili retraces routes of forced exile and cultural resistance through diasporic rhythm and song. Powerful Haitian, Brazilian and West African rhythms infuse zili’s original creations and traditional folksongs, while zili inspires its audiences to dance and even teaches them how. Reconnecting Haitian mizik rasin, jazz, roots reggae, samba, Cuban son, and neo soul, zili honors its influences while creating a sound that is uniquely its own. All female, zili takes its name from Haitian spiritual entity, Ezili, who is envisaged as mother, lover, and warrior. Zili’s songs are sensual, political, self-reflective, positive, and invoke love. Zili’s lyrics glide seamlessly from English to Kreyòl to Portuguese to Spanish, spinning tales and visions of lives lived and yet to be.



Zili has won numerous awards in the Boston area including:

2009 Boston Phoenix Award - Best World Music Band

2008 Boston Music Award - Outstanding International Act

2008 Boston Phoenix Award - Best World Music Band

2007 nominated for 2 Boston Music Awards

ZILI IS SPOTLIGHT ARTIST on www.sonicbids.com/zili!! JULY 16th on!!
