Creole Choir of Cuba at Ferguson Center for the Arts

About

Prepare to be blown away: hear the passionate melodies, wild harmonies and richly textured arrangements of these 10 inspiring vocalists (five men and five women). As you listen you will know this is something new from Cuba — the most original vocal sound to come out of the island in a long while. The Creole Choir’s Cuban name “Desandann” means literally “descendents.” Desandann sing in Creole, Cuba’s second language, spoken by almost a million people, a pragmatic fusion of African, French, and other languages. Multiple award winners, this Grammy nominated Choir sing the vital music learnt at home from grandparents and parent as well as the songs of some of the foremost groups of contemporary Haitian scene.
