Sélène Saint Aimé "New Orleans Creole Songs"

During a fantastic 3-month residency with Villa Albertine, a new residency program of the French Consulate in New Orleans, Sélène immediately formed a local band where she explored Caribbean and Creole cultures from a Louisiana perspective. She learned the history of the old Creole songs of New Orleans. On stage with Shea Pierre (piano), Steve Lands (trumpet), Gladney (tenor sax), Kaleb Summers (trombone) and Alfred Jordan Jr. (drums), she shares a very personal interpretation of these melodies.
