## Resource

New Orleans ignited its third International Vodou Day with soul-stirring music, ancestral rituals, and cultural unity at historic Kingsway, where artists and practitioners from Haiti, Benin, and Cuba gathered to honor Vodou’s rich traditions — far from the Hollywood “voodoo” stereotype. From impromptu spirit-awakening performances by Mami Moun and Malou Beauvoir to a scholarly symposium at Xavier University and a rain-soaked ceremony at Congo Square, the weekend pulsed with resilience, history, and the sacred power of voice and drum. Vodou’s enduring rhythm — woven into Delta blues, Beyoncé, and Big Freedia — proves its vital heartbeat in New Orleans’ ever-evolving musical soul.
