Larchmont Children “Shake Their Chillies Out” With Armelle Gloaguen

On an otherwise dark and gloomy Friday, February 21st, nearly 200 area children packed the Larchmont Village Center to “Shake Their Chillies Out” with multi-talented Armelle Gloaguen and her band. The winter chill stood no chance as Armelle and her band-mates led the children through song after song, some quite familiar and some completely new. Variety was the order of the day as she performed a global-array of hot tunes that engage all ages.
