Gwo Ka is a French Creole term for "big drum" a drum which is central to the music of the same name. Gwo Ka music traces its roots back to the 17th century and the Africans who were brought to the island as slaves, and though heavily suppressed at the time it has since been revived and continues to evolve as this show reveals.
Music from around the world is featured. Bringing the audience into the realm of other cultures through music, hopefully expanding empathy for the “other,” and recognizing that “other” in ourselves. From Dennis Darrah at WGDR, Goddard College Plainfield, VT. wgdr.org/.
