The work of Afro-Caribbean vocalist Christelle Durandy is frequently intoxicating. Whether singing dusky jazz numbers evocative of smokey basement clubs, or leading her all-female collective Cocomama over vivacious Afro-Carribean cinquillos, Durandy’s voice grabs listeners and holds on tight. At Mezcal, she’s joined by guitarist David Lechuga, a young virtuoso known for his work in underground rock music as well as jazz, having contributed to albums by awakebutstillinbed and recently performed with Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen.
