	Recording Review: Kalindi-Ka, with Marie-Line Dahomay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Gwo ka, along with the Martinican chouval bwa, is the musical basis on which the globally popular zouk developed.
		Traditionally led by male singers, Dahomay has claimed gwo ka as her own; she and her call-and-response female chorus bring to us the joys and sorrows of being a woman in the Antilles.
		A festival music from the hills of Guadeloupe, gwo ka is a participatory voice-and-drum music with rich, layered harmonies reminiscent of South African iscathamiya combined with West African style polyrhythmic drumming.

		And its Creole lyrics are supported by the relentlessly energetic groove of drummer Hamid Drake, whose drumkit often seems to overpower the beats of the ka.
		Gwo ka, a genre which was rejected and looked down upon for years, is now undergoing a revival thanks to dub, ragga and jazz.
		If the gwo ka carry a language for the whole of humanity, then even DJs should be able to use them in their work.

		For example, gwo ka music, which is traditionally performed during nocturnal gatherings called léwòz, incorporates the French-influenced Creole vocals of a lead singer and accompanying chorus with drummers playing on African-modeled gwo ka drums, the low-pitched boula and the higher-pitched makyè.
		As stated in her liner notes, the songs on this particular CD are not meant to reflect traditional gwo ka music.

		When he was on the electric bass, the resonance contrasted with the dampened sonoral penetration of the Ka drums.
		When Shahid took up the acoustic string bass, the view of him was a side elevation, his profile, facing the Ka drums, carved out a stark form; the timbre of his pizzicatos was totally different and served to underscore the quality of the drumming from Kiavue and Makaia.
		Drake rode on the rhythm while he was making it: at one point his eyes were so focused on the Ka drums, the bond that ensued rendered an exquisite sensual picture and evoked instinctual internal motion.

	Historique du Gwo ka
		Pourtant, l'origine des mots KA et GWOKA demeure encore une énigme.
		Dans cet intervalle donc, le "bamboula" a pris le nom de KA et le grand tambour est devenu "boula".
		- pour les partisans de la francisation le mot "ka" est utilisé pour désigner le tambour parce qu'il se fabrique à partir d'un quart de tonneau ou quart (se prononçant "ka" en créole).

		Ainsi naissait le style musical Gwo ka, qui reste jusqu’à nos jours une tradition très importante en Guadeloupe.
		Ayant de telles origines, il n’est guère étonnant que le gwo ka que nous connaissons aujourd’hui se caractérise par un rythme fortement africain.
		Il englobe chant, danse et musique, auxquels sont associés les tambours ‘ka’ et ‘boula’ et le gros hochet de calebasse, le ‘chacha’.

	CD Review of David Murray & The Gwo-Ka Masters - Yonn-Dé on Justin Time @ jazzreview.com
		For the similarities of the African beat, ever present and continuous through the lead of the ka drum, and jazz, sinuous and bluesy and dampening the energy with an offsetting groan and growl, become evident as the CD proceeds.
		Santi Debriano’s statement at the beginning of “Youyou” makes clear that his contribution is as vital to the success of the project as that of the ka drums, instruments originally created from discarded metal containers from slave ships.
		In this case, however, the tune is punctuated by trumpet and trombone blurts and unison lines.

		Central to the gwo-ka tradition is the ka drum, an instrument originally made from metal potted meat containers that were carried on slave ships.
		After these items were emptied and discarded, slaves put skins on them to create drums.
		"The ka drum that Klod plays is actually the lead instrument, if you can imagine a drum being the lead in an ensemble," explains Murray.

	Description du Gwo Ka
		Description du Gwo Ka Le "gwoka", musique répétitive repose sur de nombreux éléments récurrents que sont surtout la forme du rythme du "boula", les battements de mains et les phrases mélodieuses du chur (répondè).
		Le gwoka se joue avec 3 "ka" (ou 2 tout au début) c'est à dire 2 "boula" et 1 "makè" à peu près de la même taille.
		Il semblerait qu'autrefois il se tenait lui aussi à califourchon sur son "ka", et que VELO ait été l'initiateur de la nouvelle formule.

		Plus qu'une conception modale ou atonale largement utilisée depuis les années 70 et dont les créateurs du Gwo Ka moderne ont étés les portes drapeaux, le jazz ka de Franck Nicolas s'articule entièrement autour des structures harmoniques des standards de jazz et des accents rythmiques du tambour traditionnel guadeloupéen.
		L'album est constitué de sept compositions originales de Franck, basées sur les sept rythmes du Gwo Ka, et où il rend hommage à celles et ceux qui ont lutté pour l'abolition de l'esclavage.
		Le Manioc étant une racine, il est symbolisé par le son du "Ka", et la Poésie, par les lignes mélodiques originales et avant gardistes de Franck.
