Carnival: The Sound of a People at Jazz at Lincoln Center
New York, USA - Etienne Charles captivated audiences once more on at The Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center on June 9 and 10. Performing pieces from Carnival: The Sound of a People, Charles reminded audiences that the world of jazz looks to the entire Diaspora for inspiration.
The show was visual as well as auditory. Dancers in the roles of the Dame Lorraine, a La Diablesse - replete with her cow-foot, and a Jab Molassie demonstrated to the audience some of the imagery behind Caribbean lore.
