Global

Description

18 years after its creation, the first global Afro-Caribbean Jazz festival founded the Big’In Jazz Collective! An innovative and exceptional ensemble of 8 musician-creators from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti. The main mission of this collective? To promote Caribbean culture internationally. To achieve this, the collective will also aim to highlight a portion of the extensive musical repertoire of significant composers from Martinique and Guadeloupe. Through this project, the Biguine Jazz Festival solidifies and enhances its efforts to promote and transmit the musical heritage of the Antilles, initiated several years ago during its previous editions. Designed and developed with a long-term strategy, the BJC aims to become the main showcase for the Biguine Jazz Festival, Caribbean Jazz, and Afro-Caribbean music around the world. Based on democratic composition workshops, the BJ Collective will meet once or twice a year for creative and experimental residencies, with the goal of working on arrangements for the selected artist or "tribute" project.
