PRESS:----------------------------------------------------------------- “OSMOSES sets absorbing show… an exciting performance group, will bring Music, dance, spoken word in English, French & Creole… Caribbean-born singer-dancer Carole Alexis will passionately interpret original songs and compositions…with input from a talented circle of performers." Jared McCallister - New York Daily News ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reviewer: Mr. Vladimir Monel I heard the song "La Foi" for the first time while watching the Haitian Hit Movie "PLUIE D'ESPOIR". It was so astonishing that I had to play the begining of the movie several times with my eyes close. Yes - With "La Foi" anyone can accomplish anything (not to say move mountains). Hats off to you Carole Alexis for such a great Masterpiece. Reviewer: Mr. Vladimir Monel (Mar 23, 2007) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Osmoses”, Carole Alexis This nine-member band features the enormous talent of Carole Alexis. Alexis was born in Martinique and studied music and dance at SERMAC, an arts school founded by fellow countryman Aimé Césaire, an architect of négritude and one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. She also studied as a teenager in Senegal and France. The influence of the African Diaspora is keenly present, as the group blends sights and sounds from throughout the Diaspora to create quite a unique visual and tonal atmosphere. By Bryan Fleck - SOUNDS FROM THE FRENCH CARIBBEAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Powerhouse vocalist and dancer, Carole Alexis Infuses indigenous roots music from her Native Martinique with Pop sensibility and African Soul.” Monique Martin - LMCC/ Intuition Entertainment Group

Sounds LikeDOUBLE CLIC TO GET YOUR OSMOSES CD AT: Carole ALEXIS, artiste (25 juin) Du Sermac à New York… Carole Alexis est une artiste qui ose. Comprendre d’abord « Osmose », le nom de sa troupe. L’osmose, explique le dictionnaire, c’est l’influence réciproque, l’interpénétration. Qui mieux que Carole Alexis peut l’incarner ? Danseuse classique, jeune pousse prodige chez Jean-Paul Césaire (j’en témoigne), elle est une fleur éclose à la Mudra, l’école de Maurice Béjart, immense chorégraphe, au Sénégal. Et puis, c’est Paris. A New York enfin elle se pose, directrice artistique d’une académie dans le Bronx, professeure de danse-théâtre-musique au lycée français, créatrice de sa propre compagnie. Glosons. Voici la preuve vivante que l’on gagne toujours à recueillir et à offrir. Car elle propose – des Antilles à l’Afrique, de l’Afrique à l’Europe, de l’Europe à l’Amérique. A haute dose. Césaire, Senghor, Damas sont sa nourriture écrite. Elle réinterprète tout ce qu’elle a acquis dans des spectacles unissant danseurs, chanteurs, comédiens, musiciens, plasticiens. Osmose, vous dit-on. Dans la mégapole états-unienne, Carole Alexis associe les genres et les horizons, s’entourant d’artiste venus de partout : Jamaïque, Cameroun, Haïti, Nigeria, Porto-Rico, Mississipi, Martinique. Autour d’elle, c’est Babel puisque ses spectacles parlent créole, anglais, espagnol, français. De temps à autre, mais pas assez, elle vient proposer à son île natale le fruit de ses talents. Cette fois, c’est avec « Concerto pour verbe nègre ». A ses débuts, l’Atrium n’existait pas. Du Sermac à New York – en souvenir des premiers pas et en remerciements de son art, que les applaudissements explosent. PATRICE LOUIS - LE CLUB (Aug 3, 2006)

   About OSMOSES
CAROLE ALEXIS - LEAD SINGER /SONGWRITER Born in Martinique Carole grew up traveling, studying and working between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. In consequence, her composition of different cultures manifest itself continuously through her art sharing with the audience the sense of an attachment to universal values. After receiving an artistic formation at the SERMAC, created by Aimé Césaire and directed by Jean-Paul Césaire, with consciousness of her heritage, she studied in Africa in the school of Maurice Bejart (MUDRA), created by Leopold Sedar Senghor and the UNESCO . Due to these choices, today her musical and choreographic creativity is imprinted of a particular resonance. She has worked on different continents with international companies and artists. Among the performances of Carole Alexis we can mention a few concerts in New York:.River to River Festival, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, with guest such as; Harry BELAFONTE, Danny GLOVER,Kathy ENGEL, Michael RATNER, THE MIGHTY SPARROW, Susan SARANDON and The Harlem Gospel Choir. With her group Osmoses, highlight of the FESTIVAL des FRANCOPHONIE DE NEW YORK, organized by different Embassy, she represents Martinique and they receive a very warm ovation. Osmoses is appreciated in great clubs such as: Big Apple Jazz, Shrine, S.O.Bs, Joes Pub, Satalla, Sugar Bar, etc. Her philosophy and her artistic performances are firmly grounded in the assurance that culture is a vehicle for the affirmation of our identity, a value that she takes from the teaching and the legacy of the three founders of the Negritude movement, Aimé CESAIRE, Leopold SESAR SENGHOR, and Leon GONTRAN DAMAS, Fathers of the Negritude. She believes that art is a tool to express, propose, and communicate the infinite possibility of humanity. She also believes that the artist must be a citizen living in the state of consciousness and should be a platform for cultural action leading to a reflection on the possibility of social change. ---------------------------------------- THIERRY ARPINO - DRUMMER Intensity, Focus, Depth and Sensibility are Thierry Arpinos self-characterization in four words. If there is one thing Thierry respects in a drummer, is to be fully committed.His greatest influences are Steve Gadd, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, and of course his own Father. Everything Thierry plays, reflects himself. Thierry Arpino speaks about how he so much loves Elvin Jones and Tony Williams, as well as rock drummers because they play with power, forcefully and with deepness. Raised in France, Thierry earned a profound respect of peers and fans, by covering just to name a few; Jazz, Rick, Fusion, World, African, Brazilian, Cuban music. His face has frequently appeared in Batteur magazine. All of Thierry' s real drumming and music idols were American wich naturaly lead, after an educational stay at Boston's Berklee College, his professors to urge him to stay to in the US. Finally, a few years later Arpino made his move to The Big Apple. In New York City, he began performing with an astounding variety of artists and his polyvalence in music makes it that he is constantely solicited. Thierry has shared his talents and the stage with the most renowned and talented artists, among them the electric violinist Jean Luc PONTY, for whom he has extensively recorded and toured. ---------------------------------- GEORGES MARIE - BASS PLAYER/SONGWRITER Beyond and beside the fact that Joby is a great musician and a wonderful artist, what touches us is his amazing capacity to assemble people in order to create a music that becomes a cultural platform for the reflection of possible social change. Author/Composer/Songwriter/Bass Player/and Percussionist Georges Marie is often given that role of musical director in the many groups and projects that he has been involved in. After receiving training in SERMAC and in the pursuit of his international career, one can observe his strong sense of ethics, his consistency and loyalty. During the first years of his career he was a Poto Mitan of the mythic group 6eme Continent which has awaken to the consciousness and unity of the Caribbean identity that time was a very avant-garde movement. ________________________________________________________________ .. ..

Quand un quatuor classique s'enflamme sur un rythme à 5 temps, porté par un quartet de jazz et des tambours de l'Afrique et des Antilles, notre sale histoire commune liée par les chaînes de l'esclavage s'écrase devant l'évidence que l'humanité respire et gronde dans l'altérité.

Bonjour Carole,

Aujourd'hui en ce joli premier du mois de Mai,
Une fleur en robe de gaîté, de bonne heure, vient d'éclore...
De ses clochettes blanches encore ensommeillées, s'évapore un doux parfum, une mélodie...
Elle chante en confidence, à votre oreille, " Bonheur du jour, jour de bonheur"...

Bonjour Carole,
Ton peuple t'a entendu, puis t'a écouté...
Ton peuple, les hommes de foi marchent...
Ils sont sortis de l'ombre et la lumière éclaire leur pas maintenant...
Ils sont forts comme un la vérité, ils sont grands comme l'horizon...
Rouge, rouge mais un rouge d'espoir vêtu et de vie retrouvée...
Le futur est maintenant immédiat et le passé seulement simple !
Joie de la création à toi et "Osmoses" pour ton peuple,
Serge Bach

Merci ,Carole pour cet extrait magnifique de la poésie d'Aimé Césaire .Sublîme ! Quelle sensibilité ! Quelle force ! <br />J'espère que tu vas bien et que depuis la grande victoire de ton poulain aux élections présidentielles ton coeur rempli d'espoir et que tu en attends beaucoup de lui . <br />Ici dans mon île la lutte contre la misère et la pauvreté ,contre l'exploitation des démunis, se fait de plus en plus âpre . Elle ne faiblit pas et suscite chaque jour de nouvelles adhésions malgré les efforts répétés des requins de la finance qui cherchent à nous discréditer aux yeux de l'opinion publique .Même si nous savons que nos revendications ne vont pas toutes aboutir ,néammoins ce que nous avons déjà obtenus et ce que nous allons en avoir dans les mois à venir sont tout de même assez conséquentes . Le combat ne saura pas pour autant gagné . Le chemin est encore long . Mais la "Foi" nous aide à surmonter tous les obstacles . <br />Affectueusement <br />Marcel de l'île de la Réunion .
