music are going to be known at their best as the new generation of dancers and
singers are bringing back their music to their roots. In so doing, these artists are giving more
emphasis to what in the past colonial l time had been so despised. Among the
new comers, Jenny Mezile has a special place.
Living in Paris,
France, Jenny used to work with Africa based groups. Traveling between European
countries and the African continent, Jenny undertakes a kind of pilgrimage to
the source. As a result, she is giving birth to something new, looking at the
same time at opera and Black ritual performances. Furthermore, it is interesting
to uncover African instruments and watch the way musicians get the best rhythms
to match the new feeling Jenny expresses.
Jenny Mezile brings to the stage grace, movement and sensuality.
The Dahomey Zepol, the dancing body language with the shoulders, along with the
gazing and attitude toward life and others, means first of all her pride, will,
and commitment to her purpose and goal.
Jenny Mezile is
experiencing the mixing of Afro-Caribbean music. Even though apart by seas and
continents, these rhythms share a common origin and racial background.
Ms Mezile used to perform in Florida
