Descrição
Take your place behind a tambou ka and discover gwoka, a UNESCO-listed music, with a percussionist from the Guadeloupean scene, in a small group.
Gwoka is the beating heart of Guadeloupe: drums, voices, dance, and a history that dates back to the plantation era. Inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2014, it is still practiced today at léwoz, evenings where musicians and dancers interact until late at night.
For 1.5 hours in Petit-Bourg, we'll put the ka drum in your hands. You'll start with the basics of drumming, try out several rhythms, and then learn the traditional games that accompany the practice. Between sessions, he explains the origins of each rhythm and what it expresses.
You don't need to be a musician: the idea is not to train virtuosos, but to experience gwoka from the inside and leave with a few beats in your head. The group never exceeds 10 participants, which gives everyone time to play and ask questions.

- Understand the stories told by gwoka's traditional songs and games
- Learn from a percussionist who is active on the gwoka scene
