GWOKA FESTIVAL IN JULY AT SAINTE-ANNE
Don't know Gwoka yet? We'll tell you all about it!
Gwoka is a popular cultural practice in the Guadeloupe Islands, practiced by all ethnic and religious groups in society.
Thousands of enthusiasts take part in open-air evenings dedicated to this practice, which combines responsorial singing in Guadeloupean Creole, ka drum rhythms and dance, while highlighting individual improvisational skills.
Gwoka is one of the most symbolic elements of the Guadeloupe Islands, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site 10 years ago.
By reinforcing identity and promoting values of conviviality, resistance and dignity, Gwoka provides a sense of collective self-esteem and individual pride.
