London, England (TDN) -- Dominican singer Michele Henderson will be among a group of Caribbean Regional music artists sharing the spotlight during the London 2012 Olympics as Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) hosts Caribbean Soul Fusion on August 9 at Grosvenor House in London.
Henderson will be joined by other emerging Caribbean artists BelO (Haiti), Hezron Clarke (Jamaica), Claudia Edward (St Lucia), Mr. Dale (Barbados) and Xiomara Fortuna (Dominican Republic). The concert’s headline acts are reggae singer/songwriter Christopher Martin (Jamaica) and jazz/reggae saxophonist Arturo Tappin (Barbados).
Organizers of the event hope to highlight a wide range of Caribbean music genres: reggae, soca, zouk and kompa, Caribbean jazz, folk and Afro-Haitian.
“One of the best identifiers of the Caribbean Brand and its uniqueness is our music. Its ability to have global appeal is unquestionable. What we are seeking to do with Caribbean Soul Fusion is to showcase that authentic Caribbean culture and widen the market appeal for our regional music,” said Pamela Coke Hamilton, Executive Director, Caribbean Export.
