Cyrille Aimée featuring ECU Jazz Ensemble “A”

For Cyrille Aimée, music is a way of life as much as an art form, setting her free to pursue her creative talents wherever the promptings of her diverse heritage take her. She has developed a remarkable multi-award winning, continent-spanning career as a singer, songwriter, lyricist, and educator, while always remaining true to her roots.

Her latest album, Grammy nominated "à Fleur de Peau," is a set of songs that show a new side to Cyrille’s persona: one that encompasses her love of storytelling truth and musical freedom, drawing on all sides of her heritage. Combining the depth and sophistication of jazz, the immediacy of pop, the irrepressible dance rhythms of the Caribbean, it’s at once more intimate and more accessible than anything Cyrille has done before.

This performance is part of the S. Rudolph Alexander Performing Arts Series.
