Christelle Durandy SankTET (9/1 +9/2)

Description

Christelle Durandy fuses Afro-Caribbean, jazz and other polyrhythmic sounds in a provocative exploration of the African diaspora’s diffuse and powerful musical energy – a multicultural complexity Christelle herself embodies, having been raised in France by a mother from Reunion Island and a father from Guadeloupe. Backed by her band Sanktet (a play on the French “cinq têtes,” or “five heads,” as well as a nod to the five continents), Christelle draws upon her polyglot background to celebrate and expand the diaspora’s vibrant musical conversation.
