CCCADI Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute

The CCCADI (Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute) at "El Barrio" East Harlem, promotes and preserves the culture of the African Diaspora.

CCCADI is a small, women-led organization that is very well connected with the New York government and major cultural institutions. It trains the next generation of cultural leaders. Melody Capote is Executive Director.

This month, CCCADI turns to African-American culture. This makes perfect sense because, through Caribbean eyes, the common roots of African-American culture are evident. In what became the United States, when they took away the drum, Caribbean culture morphed into blues, jazz, and American popular culture.
