Festival Un Goût des Caraïbes: All Those Islands Within The Island

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : Afro-Caribbean / Caribbean

Additional Information

Originally a gastronomic happening, since 2015 this annual 4-day festival has featured a full musical program, spread over two outdoor stages on the Quai de l’Horloge in the Old Port. From Thursday, July 10 to Sunday, July 13, the Un Goût des Caraïbes festival brings together artisans and artists from the Caribbean diaspora, i.e. from all the islands and all its linguistic groups (Anglo, Franco, Latino) transplanted to the greater Montreal area. The emphasis is on Caribbean culture as a whole, but with a strong musical component made up essentially of local artists, very often in DJ format, accompanied by a few musicians or singers when the occasion lends itself. The focus is on inclusion and intergenerational links, attracting residents of the city’s Caribbean communities as well as (if not more than) all MTL residents, not to mention tourists strolling through the Old Port. That’s why PAN M 360 brings you this video conversation between Alain Brunet and Cezar Brumeanu, artistic director and executive producer of the festival Un goût des Caraïbes.
