Overview

JCAL's music series continues with a highly anticipated concert!

Join us for an exciting Riddim Section concert, headlined by Andre White! Riddim Section is a monthly concert series that explores the music of the African, Caribbean, and Latin American diasporas.


About the artist: Andre White’s name is synonymous with excellence in Steelpan. Whether arranging popular music for a 100-person orchestra, Composing the abundance of life-force in a jazz trio or left with the instrument alone on stage, White’s music is unmistakable in impact. It’s simple to call someone “prodigy” when they begin to teach themselves music at the age of 6; when he began playing with Long-Island based ADLIB Steel Orchestra.

From those humble beginnings, he has become a 4-time New York Panorama champion, a5-time UK Panorama, 3-time Guyana panorama champ, 2-time single pan panorama champ and a regular Finalist in TNT Panorama Competitions. Recording with artists like Etienne Charles and even releasing his own album (Liberation), White adds clout to his credential as a Berklee Alumnus.
