Attention Fans of World Music, be sure to mark December 1st - 4th on your calendars! On those dates the Kalalu World Music festival will make its debut in St. Lucia. Plans for this exciting event were announced Tuesday September 13th at SOB’s, New York’s home for the music, by festival director Adrian Augier and Lorine Charles St. Jules of the St. Lucia Tourist Board.
The Kalalu festival takes its name from that uniquely Caribbean dish whose main ingredient, callaloo leaves was brought from Africa in the 17th century. It is only natural then that given the influence of the motherland that African Artists from Senegal to South Africa will be a key ingredient in the festival line up. Caribbean music Latin, Creole and West Indian, has in turn inspired modern African artists so the festival offers a unique opportunity to hear the musical cross currents interact.
Friday’s Show will offer the spectacular voices of Jose Alberto “El Canario” and Guinean Sekouba “Bambino” Diabate. Bambino was born into a griot family and has become not only the most popular singer in his country but one of the great voices of all Africa. He is best known outside of Guinea for his work with the popular Afro-Latino super group Africando. Martin Sinnock of africasounds.com says of Bambino “He is desperately proud of his country’s rich musical tradition, but at the same time keen to present his music in a contemporary and very internationally appealing manner.” Bambino performed a short set of Mande praise song, at the SOBs opening, joined by the Cameroonian-born, New York based songstress Kaissa.
Idrissa Diop of Senegal and Haitian Emeline Michel, La Reine de la Chanson Creole (Queen of Haitian Song), headline the opening night Thursday, December 1st.
On Friday Cuban legends Orquestra Sensaccion, who first performed in 1953 and will bring the classic rhythms of the island, charanga, cha cha cha, rhumba and more to the stage.
