In New Orleans, descendants of slaves from Africa, without their musical instruments, invented drums because drums were forbidden to them. They served to ring the revolt in the plantations. In the Caribbean, from Cuba to Venezuela to Guadeloupe, they were allowed. With a barrel of rum, the big quarter, the Guadeloupeans created the Gwo Ka whose Roger Raspail is a recognized Master and Sonny Troupé, the worthy continuator. Playing on skins with bare hands, it does not sound like playing chopsticks and brooms on a battery that has fixed the moving elements of military fanfares (drums and cymbals). American Jazz is becoming tropical in the French West Indies, a stage between America, Europe and Africa. This trio comes out of the classical jazz rhythm (piano, double bass, drums). Without leaving it, he transforms it. This is the essence of Jazz, Métis music.
