Meet Etienne Charles & Creole Soul

Etienne Charles, a Trinidad-born trumpet virtuoso, is renowned for his ability to weave the rich tapestry of Caribbean sounds into his jazz compositions. His music is a heartfelt homage to his roots, blending vibrant calypso, soca, and reggae rhythms with the improvisational spirit of jazz. Charles is not just a musician; he's a storyteller, and through his band, Creole Soul, he brings tales of the Caribbean to life, filling the air with warmth, color, and joy.

Creole Soul, an ensemble of exceptional musicians, complements Charles' vision perfectly. Together, they create a soundscape that is both deeply rooted in tradition and refreshingly contemporary. Their performances are a dynamic blend of original compositions and innovative interpretations of classics, promising an evening that will resonate long after the last note has been played.
