Roseau, Dominica – (June 2, 2016) Breve, Dominica’s popular Jazz band will perform in Guadeloupe this weekend.

The band accompanied Cameron Pierre on stage at the 7th Dominica’s Jazz ‘n Creole festival which was held on May 15, 2016.

Breve also performed at three of the fringe events organized for the 2016 Jazz ‘n Creole festival.

The band will perform its Caribbean jazz fusion repertoire in a concert at the Parad’est Village in Petit Bourg on Saturday June 4, 2016.

The group is expected to be interviewed by several media houses including ATV, Alize TV, Caraibe Creole News, France Antilles, News Antilles and Radio Caraibes Internationale (RCI).

Breve has performed at the 2014 edition of the World Creole Music Festival, 2014 Jazz ‘n Creole, Nature Island Literary Festival, Nature Island Food and Drink Festival, 2015 Jazz ‘n Creole Fringe Event, 2016 Jazz ‘n Creole Fringe events and 2016 Jazz ‘n Creole.

    Cameron Pierre rates them highly and for him to do so then what an accolade for the band because musical affiliates of Mr Pierre earns their respect form him.
