Intro Text From Guadeloupe to Louisiana…to the Mississippi Delta. The missing link of the Blues. When Napoleon reinstated slavery in the Caribbean Island of Guadalupe in 1802 many people were exiled or fled, some of which went to New Orleans. It is from this perspective that Delgres, made up of Pascal Danae, Rafgee and Baptiste Brondy, revisits the blended songs, dances and tears of the long-lost, drifting souls of New-Orleans.

ABOUT

Established in 2010, the Passport Sessions program brings musicians to our local community to highlight a wide variety of cultures and traditions.

Each year, three bands perform for local youth and the community. Youth at Rochester's School Age Child Care (SACC) program are given up-close-and-personal outreach sessions, and we partner with Rochester Downtown Alliance (RDA) for fun, free community concerts at Thursdays Downtown.
