Synopsis
Album Description
The origin of bèlè goes back to the period of slavery in Martinique. The songs related the story of the community and the island, ironically chronicling frictions between colonists, foremen's mishaps, and fellow slaves trials. The dances have retained close links with Africa, yet the influence of the French colonists is to be found within them.
