What about a Belgian Caraïb Jazz Festival?
How?
The association for the development of the creole music (ADMC) introduces its pedagogic work like so: The multiple musical genres and traditional rhythms of French Antilles (chouval bwa, gwo Ka, Mazurka, kompa…) offer a wide musical styles and is alive with an original palette. That's why we would like to share this Caribbean Jazz, as a real footbridge between traditional music, jazz and current music styles, which allows the musician who wishes to find ways of enriching and asserting his personal musical language, to do so in building and developing his possibilities of expressing his music.
Even for the public, that specific caribbean jazz can't remain indifferent of its groove.
Are there any takers ??!
