about
"MÉ, MWA AN NOU, POU MÉMWA AN NOU, !"
( May is our month , to remember !)
May is the month when we broke our chain... 22nd...27th... Martinique and guadeloupe Islands ("french" Caribbean)
May 23rd is the day of remembrance dedicated to the victims of slavery !
THEY DID NOT FREE US, we fought, killed, WE DID IT BY OURSELF.
BUT THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER !
Then came Neo colonialism and European imperialism...
This track produced by Rickysoul the C3PO for House An Nou is a house music interpretation of the strong and beautiful Chant Lendepandans (Independance Chant ) taken from Gérard Lockel's Gwo Ka Modènn.
Legendary GERARD LOCKEL : Drummer, Jazzman, Guitarist .created a new style of music the "Gwo-ka Modèn, the fantastic experimental atonal music mixing gwo ka with jazz elements.
"In the cultural landscape of Guadeloupe, Gwoka culture: music, song, dance and cultural practice accompanies movements of social and political protest. It strengthens identity and provides a feeling of communal development and individual pride, conveying values of conviviality, resistance and dignity." (cf unesco)
