Trinidad-born Etienne Charles is a trumpeter, percussionist, and composer continuously on the search for untold stories and sounds with which to tell them. He is a firm believer in music and performance as tools for provoking thought and dialogue. As an Afro-descendant, his work is actively connecting the diaspora and drawing lines to regions at the roots of migrations. Etienne Charles is joined by Godwin Louis, alto sax, Alex Wintz, guitar, Axel Tosca, piano, Russell Hall, bass, and Harvel Nakundi, drums. In this final performance of the season, Charles leads his six-member band in fiery original compositions and covers inspired by Caribbean grooves.
