Biography: 

A gwoka group which has transmitted the popular traditions of Guadeloupe since 1980, essentially the songs sung at wakes and while working the fields (koudmen).

La véyé o swè-la is a show about the cultural nights spent at the wake of a deceased person and has enjoyed tremendous success for several years.
