ABOUT
The portmanteau band name, which combines Earth (Terre) and rebirth (Renaissance), heralds the reawakening of a new, global consciousness.
Forging new routes with its homegrown sound, Terrenaissance is the first act of its generation to compose and perform totally acoustic music spanning the wide range of languages, oral art forms, and vocal styles that coexist in the Caribbean. The mystic Terrenaissance sound emerged and evolved through open-air jam sessions at the University of the West Indies in St. Augustine. Founded in late 2006 by Avianne Callender, the band's members were brought together from different parts of the twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and vastly different musical backgrounds. Over the years, these 'Children of the Big Bang' have created a vanguard of sound through experimentation, improvisation, and a constant search for beauty and quality.
