Looking to soaking some sun in on this winter period? We’ve got your covered! Villette Tropical is back on Saturday February 29, 2020 in Paris 19th arrondissement with its West Indian carnival. To enjoy from 9 p.m. at La Petite Halle, this tropical carnival promises a unique journey to the Caribbean, from Haiti to Cuba and all the way to Martinique, Guadeloupe, Trinidad with a wonderful tropical celebration to dance until dawn!
Live bands lineup:
STEEL GROOVE (Kompa-Zouk / Haiti)
This is a well-kept family secret: West Indian zouk has a big brother, Haitian compass. Sensual and rhythmic, it makes Martinique and Guadeloupe inhabitants happy as they regularly fill in the greatest show venues to celebrate their heroes. Steel Groove represents the new wave of a genre reinvented in the 80s based on the Haitian diaspora. In this formation where everything – or almost – goes in pair, two singers, two drummers and two bassists take turns to rock over fifteen-minute long songs without making dancers’ leg stop.
