Grupo Raiz: Amaneceres
El Grupo Raíz se conformó en La Peña Cultural Center en Berkeley, California, al comienzo de 1980.

Puerto Rican-born, Haitian-bred vocalist Lolita Cuevas and Haitian guitarist and composer Frantz Casseus lyrically come together in rendering some of the most beautiful folk songs of Haiti.
