Clotaire Bazile's background differs from many of
the drapo Vodou artists. He grew up in the Catholic
religion but became
a houngan or Vodou priest at the age of 18. Soon after,
in 1972,
Bazile made his first Vodou flag. Dambala Wedo Tokan
and Oiobolo Bossou
demonstrate the artist's signature
style. A traditionalist, Bazile's drapo Vodou feature a colorful
geometric border with an image of a Lwa (deity) at the center of the flag.
