C'est Si Bon // Maya Kamaty at Bossa

7PM $10 A special evening of music for Adams Morgan Night. Four time winner of the ‘Music of the Indian Ocean’ prize, Maya Kamaty wins hearts with her island blues melodies and halting ternary rhythm of Reunion Island Maloya. While her music is grounded in maloya, she transcends its boundaries to create her own intimate folk style of music by blending it with French chanson, Indian, and African influences. Making Reunion Island maloya music her own, Maya Kamaty is breaking down barriers as one of the few popular female singers what is a traditionally music sung by males. Accompanied by traditional instruments such as kayamb and rouler, and driven by an intense passion for mixing cultures, Maya Kamaty (a name formed by combining two names, her own, and that of a woman standing marginal and intense) has the most promising voice of her generation. C'est si Bon Jazz Quartet is a DC/Baltimore- based jazz collective specializing in trad jazz, torch songs, French jazz, blues, bossa nova, & Cole Porter.
