Michele Henderson performs at Jazz ‘n Creole in 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Michele Henderson has been selected to represent Dominica at the April 30th<\/sup> celebration of International Jazz Day, dubbed Transcultura, with support from the Government of Dominica and the UNESCO Commission in Dominica. The Cultural Division will also provide support.<\/p>\n

The celebration of International Jazz Day will be held in Havana, Cuba this year with a virtual audiovisual concert, seen as an ideal opportunity to bring together different branches of art in the same space, \u2018with the rich rhythmic universe of the Caribbean as its soundtrack.\u2019<\/p>\n

Michele will feature in a 1 minute 30 second video that highlights her country of origin, her thoughts on Jazz music and her interpretation of a musical piece. The video will end with a generic fragment of the jazz standard \u201cAutumn Leaves\u201d that will be the common thread of all the guest videos.<\/p>\n

Organizers say Jazz will be the link between the different expressions of art on display and they anticipate a concert full of passion, energy and virtuosity. It is an occasion to celebrate the cultural diversity of the Caribbean, through music, dance, visual arts and other cultural expressions in the region.\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Within the context of the COVID-19, the Transcultura<\/em> Programme is seeking to promote and engage Caribbean artists in the audiovisual concert to be produced by Cuba\u2019s National Centre for Popular Music with the support of Transcultura<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In Cuba, the effort will be led by Roberto Fonseca in coordination with the Cuban Institute of Music, the Organizing Committee of the Jazz Plaza Festival and the National Centre for Popular Music.<\/p>\n

Dominica\u2019s Michele Henderson is a singer, songwriter and performer, who has enjoyed a successful career as an artiste for over 20 years. Born in Grand Bay, Dominica, Michele has thrilled audiences with her live performances in and outside the region, with major performances at the World Creole Music Festival, Dominica; Grenada Spice Jazz Festival; St. Lucia Jazz Festival; Roskilde Festival in Denmark; Jazz Artists on the Green in Trinidad and Tobago; among several other performances in the USA, Europe, Martinique and Guadeloupe.<\/p>\n

Michele has recorded 6 albums to date and was appointed Goodwill Ambassador to Dominica in 2004.<\/p>\n

The event can be viewed on April 30, 2021 at 6:00pm via the Facebook pages, festivaljazzplazacuba, Ministerio de Cultural de Cuba and Streaming Cuba.<\/p>\n
