Jazz à Point-à-Pitre
Point-à-Pitre’s 12th annual Jazz Festival took place this weekend at the Place de La Victoire. The Place was beautiful, draped in lights for Christmas, and filled with people and vendors. The performances begin at 8:00 each evening. Hugh Masekela was the biggest name and he delivered a great set Saturday night. His performance was stopped briefly due to rain, but he played almost two hours. The stage was surrounded by tents featuring artisans of various types. Their creations were beautiful and I definitely left a few Euros lighter. I’ve included the line up and link below. It’s definitely an event worth attending.
