FESTIVAL DE GWO KA
Go there and contact
Very well known locally, the event attracts a larger audience of residents and visitors each year. It combines percussions, dances and identity songs.
This festival takes place in mid-July in the commune of Sainte-Anne. It is dedicated to this typically Guadeloupean musical genre, featuring drummers (in Creole tambouyés), percussionists, lambis conch blowers, singers and dancers. On popular evenings, the audience sits in a circle around the dancers, facing the drums. While it was forbidden on plantations during the slave era, Guadeloupe's Gwo Ka has been listed as an intangible heritage of humanity since 2014.
