Carnival Night! Shireen Francis’ ‘Caribbean Island Project’

About

“Quite simply Shireen is one of the best British Jazz vocalists of this generation” In honour of this Carnival weekend tonight we are featuring 606 favourite The Caribbean Island Project, an exciting group put together and fronted by the multi-talented singer Shireen Francis . Integrating jazz harmonies with the Afro-Caribbean/Brazilian rhythms of Reggae, Calypso and Samba, the band create an unusual but highly accessible musical hybrid. Featuring Dominic Grant guitar and Mark Cherrie steel pan, Shireen says "expect an immersive and heartfelt Caribbean journey across the waters". A great way to spend Bank Holiday Carnival Monday!
