	Catching Guadeloupe's Beat - New York Times
		The principal form of performing gwoka is a sware lewoz, an all-night jam session, usually on a Friday or Saturday night.
		A lewoz is held anywhere there is a spare space: a roadside restaurant, cockfighting pit, behind someone's house.
		Sometimes a lewoz draws half the town and other times there is only a handful of people.

		C’étaient souvent les mêmes musiciens qui animaient les lewoz, à savoir ceux du Nord Basse-Terre considérés comme étant les meilleurs, les maîtres comme Carnot, Henri Delos, Christène Aigle.
		Pour organiser un lewoz chez soi, il fallait commencer par se rendre chez celui de quelqu’un d’autre et lui offrir un bouquet de fleurs.
		Laissées de côté, les soirées « lewoz » seront remises au goût du jour avec l’émergence des mouvements indépendantistes dans les années 70.

	GWO KA

		Historiquement lié au système de la plantation, le Gwo Ka était une culture, de même que la manifestation Sware Lewoz, exclusivement rurale.
		Une swaré lewoz était le moment privilégié de communication, d'échange et de détente entre les gens.

	Jacques Schwarz-Bart - Biography
		In “Drum and Bass”, I use a combinaison of mendé and Takuta”, in “descent, I combine Lewoz with the cuban rhythm called “Afro”, played with a conga on a poly rhythmic 10 beat pattern”.
		Interpreting those rhythms are 2 drummers from the homeland: on the Boula drum -the lower, assigned with holding the grooves- is Olivier Juste.

		And from that night we went lewoz, and I was playing together with Ti Bonm La (Joseph Kancel), he was playing, I understood everything that he was playing, but to me to find a way to play the way he was playing, I have to think in creole.
		And that's why it was important for me to start with gwoka "traditionnel", to start with lewoz, because it's the root.
		So in order for me to understand now, as I build an understanding of the music of the boula, the music of lewoz, now if I am moving to the gwoka modern, I'll understand where it's coming from.

		Another local form of music is named after the instrument used to play the style – the “Ka.” The “Gwo Ka La Base” is made up of what are known as the seven rhythms: “aladja, Lewoz, Mendé, Toumblak, Graj, Roulé, and Gran-jambel.
		One dance with Guadeloupean roots is the quadrille “au commandement.” Much like the original quadrille, this dance differs because dancers follow the commands of the singer.
		Jewelry is also an important addition to any outfit in Guadeloupe, and necklaces and bracelets each have their own names.

		Gilbert Laumord, Joby Bernabé, Klòd Kiavué, and Dominique Domiquin will give a musical and poetical performance based on Creole poetry and storytelling, drum music, and dance.
		The performance, titled Andidan Lawonn-la ("In the Circle"), is inspired by the lewoz, a Guadeloupean musical and choreographic ceremony based on the gwoka drum.
		Inherited by the African slaves, despised and forgotten after the abolition of slavery, the gwoka has been recently revived and represents a powerful affirmation of African roots and Caribbean identity today.
