Join us for a celebration of June as Caribbean Heritage Month & Black Music Appreciation Month through the presentation of Yasser Tejada representing traditional Afro-Dominican sounds with a Futuristic lens and DJ Sabine Blaizin spinning Global Soul anchored in her Haitian roots.
This event is a special collaboration with World Music Institute and Harlem Stage Gatehouse. The evening features Afro-Dominican bandleader Yasser Tejeda performing a combination of traditional folkloric music and jazz, rock, and Caribbean rhythms. Plus, Haitian DJ Sabine Blaizin (Oyasound) offers African Diasporic dance music to kick off and close the event.
Rhythm, Bass and Place: Connections and Reflections on Music of the African Diaspora:
This event is part of CCCADI's Rhythm, Bass and Place series, a 5-month celebration of Black music that traces its migratory nature and constructs a living archive through engaging stories from neighborhoods, stages, studios and dance floors that shaped the sonic landscape in select U.S., U.K. and Caribbean cities over the last three decades.
