They will play live in concert at the Miramar Cultural Center on Saturday, Sept. 21, at 8 pm. The groups will play cuts from their latest album “Creole Souls.” The record features a heady blend of classic New Orleans big brass with the pulsating island rhythms of calypso, reggae and compas.

Jazz Times hailed Etienne Charles and Creole Soul as “daring improvisers who delivers with heart- wrenching lyricism.”

And the New York Times also praised Charles’ unique sound as “clear and mellifluous, with a deep sense of economy, redolent of both Roy Hargrove and Chocolate Armenteros.”

“We are delighted to present such a talented musician as part of our anniversary celebration,” says Eddy Edwards, co-host of Caribbean Riddims radio show. “Our audience marks a diverse mix from the islands. And the music of Etienne Charles is influenced by a variety of genres from the French, Spanish and English-speaking Caribbean, of which we all can relate and love.”
