Emeline Michel in free performance at Rubenstein Atrium

Emeline Michel

With special guests Buyu Ambroise and Pauline Jean

Lincoln Center's David Rubenstein Atrium



Thursday, May 20, 8:30 P.M.

Emeline Michel is the reigning queen of Haitian song, beloved for combining traditional rhythms with social, political, and inspirational content. A captivating performer, she is a member of a new generation of Haitian musicians who emphasize complex themes, conscious lyrics, and a broad palette of musical styles, including the native Haitian compas, twoubadou and rara along with jazz, rock, bossa nova and samba. The New York Times called her a “dancing ambassador with a voice serene and warm like a breeze.” 

Joining Michel are jazz vocalist Pauline Jean and saxophonist Buyu Ambroise, both known for their sophisticated compositions blending traditional Haitian roots with contemporary sounds. 

Target® Free Thursday performances start at 8:30 p.m. FREE admission; no tickets required. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
