LunÁtico warmly welcomes TRANPE to our bandstand as vocalist Sheila Anozier transports you to the cultural and spiritual landscape of Haiti, enhanced by the masterful playing of Cappadocia on five-string cello.

Sheila Anozier ~ Voice
Rufus Cappadoccia ~ Cello

TRANPE is a Brooklyn based group of Sheila Anozier and Rufus Cappadocia. In Haitian Creole, Tranpe (the kreyòl verb to soak), is the name of a powerful drink where medicinal leaves and roots are soaked and infused in an unrefined rum, called kleren. The power of the songs is in the roots and leaves while the cello is the catalyst. TRANPE transcends boundaries and creates a synergy that exceeds the sum of its parts, seamlessly blending individual styles to create a truly unique musical infusion.

The duo released the album, “Twa Fèy, Twa Rasin” presenting 10 tracks taken from Haitian folklore, life stories, and parables. They are joined by “Bonga” Jean Baptiste, Haitian master drummer, on two of those tracks.  Through their collaboration, they celebrate the transformative power of music.
