Lionel and Regular Bernard was raised in Haiti influenced by voodoo and reggae, but moved to NEW YORK within the ’70s, bathing in that city’s ska, punk, funk and hip-hop designs and performing in a number of local rings: the Toasters, Second Stage, Unity. The brothers after that produced Vodu 155, welding hip-hop and funk to reggae and Haitian tribal rhythms on the self-titled 1995 debut for Isle Records.
