home search help worldguide ... Postcards Martinique Culture Despite the ubiquitous French influence on Martinican culture, French-Indian Creole traditions dominate the island's cuisine, language, music and customs. Although French is the official language, most Martinicans also speak Creole, which grew out of the pidgin that early setters used to communicate with each other, and which also bears the traces of the many tongues spoken by African slaves. The biguine (or beguine), an Afro-French dance music with a bolero rhythm, originated in Martinique in the 1930s. A more contemporary French West Indies creation, zouk, draws on the biguine and other French Caribbean folk forms. With its Carnival-like rhythm and hot dance beat, zouk has become as popular in Europe as it is in the French Caribbean. A literary and philosophical movement known as N©gritude emerged in the 1930s, largely through the writings of Martinican native Aim© C©saire, a poet and long-time mayor of Fort-de-France. N©gritude strived to advance black social and cultural values and re-establish bonds with African traditions that had been suppressed by French colonialism. back to top previous next : We've tried to make the information on this web site as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information.

He did not land until 15 June 1502, when he put in at Le Carbet. Columbus named the island Martinica in honour of St Martin; the Caribs called it Madinina, or island of flowers. More unrest followed in the French Caribbean colonies when in 1789 the French Revolution inspired slaves to fight for their emancipation. White artisans, soldiers, small merchants and free people of mixed race also embraced its principles. In 1792 a royalist governor re-established control but he was expelled by a revolutionary force sent from France. The capital, Fort-Royal became République-Ville and Paris abolished slavery. Martinique was occupied by the English again from 1794 to 1815 (with one interruption), at the request of the plantation owners of the island who wanted to preserve the status quo and put down slave revolts.

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Martinique Martinique is a slice of France set down in the tropics. Islanders wear Paris fashions and eat croissants. Zouk music pouring out of tape players, bars and nightclubs will remind you, however, that Martinicans have a culture of their own, solidly based on West Indian Creole traditions. Urbanization has spread to much of the island, and most of Martinique's large towns feel like modern suburbs. Nevertheless, nearly a third of Martinique is forested and other areas are given over to pineapples, bananas and sugar cane fields. There are also plenty of hiking trails into the mountains. Full country name: Department of Martinique Area: 1,080 sq km Population: Capital City: Fort-de-France (pop 100,072) People: Language: French, English Religion: Roman Catholic (90%), Seventh Day Adventist, Hindu, Jewish Government: overseas d©partment of France Head of State: Prefect Michel Cadot GDP: US$4.24 billion GDP per capita: US$10,700 Inflation: Major Industries: Construction, rum, cement, oil refining, sugar, bananas, tourism.

12. Zouk Music From The Caribbean! Review of Jocylene Guillbault's book on zouk music and dance culture in martinique. http://home.earthlink.net/~zouk/zouk/review.htm

REVIEW "Zouk: World Music in the West Indies" by Jocelyne Guilbault Published by The University of Chicago Press, 1993 ISBN 0-226-31042-6 (paperback with compact disc) "Why zouk? Because it's truly me. The feeling we have about zouk is that it reflects our way of walking, laughing, dreaming, and speaking. All of our Creoleness is in zouk, all of our everyday life..." -Eric Virgal So begins a chapter in Jocelyne Guilbault’s ethnomusicological study of zouk, "Zouk: World Music in the West Indies". This highly informative book, while academic in nature, is far from a dry or uninteresting read. The author contends that understanding zouk is essential to understanding the phenomenon of "world music," since zouk is a major contemporary force in world music and is helping to shape economic, social and political change worldwide. Ms. Guilbault’s interest stems from the fact that music is such a dominant factor in the lives of Caribbean people and zouk in particular has been at the core of Antillean’s preoccupations and interests for some time. The book chronicles how zouk plays an important role in the life of the inhabitants of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Dominica, and St. Lucia. Zouk is distinguished primarily by two main features: Creole lyrics and distinctive rhythms. However, the "arrival" of zouk on the world music scene is the product of a long and complex interaction of historical events, varying economic factors, social and political changes, and musical migrations in the Americas and Europe. The book, divided into three parts, traces this story and also provides a thorough analysis of zouk music itself.

Martinique Culture Habitat Quelques vieilles « habitations » de pierre, au centre d'une plantation, font revivre l'enfer de l'esclavage. Certaines sont privées, d'autres converties en musée ou en hôtel de luxe. Faites l'impossible pour les visiter : les habitations – comme celle où Joséphine jouait les Scarlett – constituent les seuls monuments des Antilles Musique et danse Des enfants se déchaînent sur la véranda d'une case. Bidons, casseroles, balustrades, tout ce qu'ils trouvent est percuté en rythme. Et aucun passant ne se plaint du fracas. Les Antilles ont toujours scandé le quotidien. Ce sont les danses à orchestre, gaies et profanes, qui tiennent le haut du pavé : valse, mazurka piquée, polka. Tonique et lascive, la biguine est même devenue le sport national des Antilles françaises. Le zouk surtout fait le régal des radios, le zouk-love, un zouk langoureux et moite à danser collé-serré. Malgré un retour aux racines – le gwo-ka –, l'influence des Grandes Antilles (salsa, reggae) domine la création musicale. Malavoi, Difé ou encore la Compagnie créole (pas si créole qu'elle veut bien le laisser entendre...) : dans l'Hexagone, la nouvelle musique antillaise est montée en puissance. Un groupe comme Kassav (zouk) peut se permettre de remplir le Zénith et de jouer les stars en Afrique. Tant mieux !

>> La Commission Préserver l'identité martiniquaise D ès 1984, le Conseil régional met en oeuvre sa politique culturelle essentiellement basée sur la préservation de l'identité martiniquaise. Une politique volontariste avec comme axes principaux de développement : l'équipement, la formation, la valorisation du patrimoine, l'animation et la diffusion culturelle. Des équipements Le Conseil régional se donne les moyens de sa politique d'équipement en se dotant en 1984 d'un outil performant : l'Ecole Régionale d'Arts Plastiques de la Martinique (ERAPM), rebaptisée en 1997 IRAVM (Institut Régional d'Art Visuel de la Martinique). Une structure incontournable dont l'objectif est de former de jeunes talents. Agréée par le Ministère de la culture, l'ERAPM, constitue un centre d'impulsion du développement artistique, de recherche et de création. Cet établissement public supérieur d'arts plastiques, avec sa spécificité antillaise, délivre des diplômes nationaux à l'issue d'une formation de trois ou cinq ans. Outil d'accompagnement de l'ERAPM, le Fonds Régional d'Art Contemporain (FRAC) est créé en 1987 par le Ministère de la culture et la Région. Constituer une collection d'oeuvres d'art, proposer une diffusion de ses oeuvres, contribuer à la promotion de la création artistique, autant d'objectifs recherchés par cette association de type loi 1901.
