Anais Maviel & My Le Chabert (NYC) CMW Players The films of Chris Lynn
Tuesday April 19 2016 doors at 7:30 performances start at 8:00
ANAIS MAVIEL & MY LE CHABERT (NYC): Vocalist Anais Maviel has been an exciting and unique new presence on the Brooklyn/New York scene over the past few years. Since arriving, her fearless approach to performance has made her an in-demand musician in a number of innovative ensembles, most notably William Parker's Martin Luther King Project, Parker's Plaza Band, Dave Ruder's The Gentleman Rests, Jalalu-Kalvert Nelson's A Mother's Lament, Matt Lavelle's 12 Houses, Patrick Breiner's Red Metal, and a number of other groups.
Maviel's early experiences on stage with her Haitian mother Joyshanti provided her first taste of music's transformative power. She studied vocal jazz and Brazilian percussion in Paris and then deepened her learning through travels in Haiti. Encouraged by mentors Nicole Mitchell, Jen Shyu, and Ernest Dawkins, she first came to New York to study with Kris Davis, Gerald Cleaver and Tony Malaby, among others. A graduate of Paris Diderot University in Aesthetics, her research focused on creative music as Utopian alternative politics for social change. She is on tour promoting her solo voice & percussion release 'hOULe' (Gold Bolus) in collaboration with visual artist My Le Chabert - Cisco Bradley/Jazz Right Now http://www.anaismaviel.com/ https://anaismaviel.bandcamp.com/
