globalFEST: Creole Carnival

globalFEST: Creole Carnival featuring Emeline Michel, Casuarina and Brushy One-String.

globalFEST’s first national tour, Creole Carnival, honors the roots of African musical currents, crossed with a fusion of sounds from the Americas, and revolving around Carnival, the pre-Lent festival celebrated globally that’s everyone’s favorite excuse for a party.

The tour features three high-energy performers:

• Brushy One String: Jamaican music soaked in soul, played on a single unstoppable guitar string

• Emeline Michel: Shimmering, rhythmic sounds with a call for change and hope from Haiti’s leading lady

• Casuarina: Rio’s modern Afro-Brazilian samba stars play timeless classics and their own songs

This international trio of artists, will explore, expand, and upend notions of Carnival, without losing sight of where magic and religious fervor intersect with a madcap, no-holds-barred soiree.
