The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art is thrilled to welcome Inez Barlatier in Concert: Moun-Moon–Spotlight Florida!  February 21 and 22. Barlatier, a rising star and Miami native, is a multifaceted musician and composer of Ayisen (Haitian) descent. Inez’s energetic performance draws on inspiration from African, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin cultures. She will be accompanied by a full band. Inez began her music career at the age of 12 as a member of her father’s band, Jan Sebon and Kazak International. Her life-long passion and exposure to multicultural and folkloric music is reimagined in her work creating a fresh yet nostalgic and often emotional experience. Inez strives to positively impact the lives of women and girls using the arts as a tool for self-empowerment. While performing internationally, Inez works as an accountant, a teaching artist, a drum circle leader, an actress and dancer. Her theatrical portfolio includes a Cuba & Central American Tour of Writing in Sand, a 3-women play written and directed by Carlos Caballero of FundArte and upcoming contemporary works written and directed by award winning playwright, Teo Castellanos. Tickets range from $25-$35, and $10 for Students with a current ID. 

The Ringling will also host a Drum Circle led by Inez Barlatier February 20, 2020 at 6:00 pm on the museum's Bolger Campiello. The event will be a lively and rhythmic celebration of the full moon.
