It’s taken 15 years for Haitian musician Erol Josué to release a new album. Other things took priority, like helping those devastated by the earthquake that hit the island in 2010. In addition to being a musician, he’s also a vodoo priest and director of the National Bureau of Ethnology in Port-au-Prince. Josué believes his new album “Pelerinaj,” or “pilgrimage” in Haitian Creole, will help highlight the beauty of his country.
