Lincoln Center For the Performing Arts
Celebrates Haiti this Summer

Friday July 2, 2010

On July 2, the sounds of Orchestre Septentrional d’Haiti move the dance floor of Midsummer Night Swing. After six decades with a rotating lineup of Haiti’s finest musicians, this maverick big band still outfits compas, the island nation’s signature dance style, with horn charts irresistible enough to challenge pop bands half its age and size. It has the look of an orchestra, but the sound and fleet feel of an ace party band crafting new formulas to rule the dance floor.
