El Museo del Barrio New York

This month we'll be cherishing the words and stories of the past, as well as empowering future generations to share their own.

In collaboration with Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concert Series, El Museo del Barrio presents Haitian singer-songwriter Emeline Michel, ambassador of the Caribbean contemporary music scene. Emeline Michel has emerged as the new goddess of Creole music. Her songs merge native Haitian musical styles of compas and rara with jazz and pop. Complex, intertwined percussion rhythms support her original lyrics, which she peppers with traditional proverbs and uplifting messages. Emeline sings in French and Haitian Creole as she fills the room with vibrant color and warm energy.
