With special guests Buyu Ambroise and Pauline Jean
Lincoln Center's David Rubenstein Atrium
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.
