We Are Kreyòl Roots

Picture

Gerald Toto Alfred: ​Bass, Guitar, Vocals

Picture
One of the most talented guitarists to come out of Haiti. He has been playing guitar since he was a teen and is one of the most sought after guest guitarist in whatever city he visits. Toto played lead guitar for the acclaimed Haitian roots band Boukman Eksperyans for the past 20 years. However, he has always wanted to expand his immense musical interests and in his quest to find the right musicians, came to Chicago to form Kreyol Roots.  His vision was to take a group of awesome musicians with various musical backgrounds and form a new group with a fresh sound.

Drums and Percussion
Michael was born in Accra, Ghana. He knew early in life that music was his passion. He has been playing drums since he was a child. He is well known in Ghana for his wicket skills and has toured Europe playing for musicians such as Kojo Antwi and Ozimzim Band. He came to the States in 2001 and has played with various Roots and World groups  in Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland. He drummed for the popular reggae band Hydro out of Chicago for several years and still is playing with various World and reggae music acts in and out of the area. Paapa Michael just recently joined Kreyòl Roots and his extensive knowledge of  traditional and modern African drum beats him a perfect fit with the music of Kreyòl Roots.
