Aired on April 21, 2020

Pianist Kendol Bacchus originally from the island of St. Vincent, is currently riding out the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida. He had a concert tour planned when he arrived in the U.S. two months ago and is now hunkering down until he can resume his performances.

In the meantime, Kendol joined World Footprints to share some updates on the COVID-19 situation in St. Vincent and to offer a sample of his musical talent. We’ve seen how music helps to connect and heal us during this time of social distancing. That’s why we invited our friend Kendol to play a song for all of us, knowing firsthand the power of his gift. (Listen to our podcast interview with Kendol on WorldFootprints.com to understand the backstory of how we met.)

So sit back, close your eyes, and relax to the beautiful sounds Kendol offers.

Photograph of pianist Kendol BacchusKendol Bacchus brings to today’s world-music soundscape a pianism that is eclectic, melodic, and deeply emotional. His varied approaches to piano music offer unique poetic genres and colors. You will find his music to be both reflective and introspective.

He was born on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in 1967 when music was going through all kinds of interesting changes. Song writers in the pop world were exploring new harmonies, electronica, and instrumentation. This world surrounded Kendol as he grew up. He was wired and tuned into an extreme mix of classical music at home, pop music on the radio with strong Afrocentric, West Indian influences, and the American sound of those times- these all alongside the most varied and amazing church-based music.
