CubaLandz celebrates music!

Jean D'Amérique, poet, playwright and artistic director of the Haïtian festival Transe Poétique, invites you on a poetic journey with a Caribbean flavour while opening windows to the world. Discover his collection, Nul chemin dans la peau que saignante étreinte (Cheyne, 2017), full of a poetry that radiates with humanity, love and hope. During this solo recital, the lines of Jean d’Amérique engage in dialogue with the guitar of Humberto Gonzalez. A poem of great sensitivity, it is not a lament but a song of light carried by a bird of blues. 

From June 21 at 10am you can watch the video of this poetic recital performed at the Coudenberg Palace on June 19, in the context of the Summer Palace Concerts.
