We are humbled, joyful and proud to introduce : Siano
Siano is an impulsive, tangible and multidisciplinary educational program that explores Caribbean sonorities in Martinique and Guadeloupe from 1930 to 2000 ; and more specifically : Bèlè, Gwoka, Biguine and Zouk .
This program is elaborated with historical contexts, cultural awareness, and necessary knowledge elements through four momentums out of five months in order to bring a deeper understanding and appreciation of these Caribbean sonorities and its pioneers.
Siano also strives to demonstrate that these Caribbean sonorities are solid and meaningful responses to the cultural genocide that occurred during the colonial era in the caribbean . In present society, these sonorities are entirely part of the Caribbean identity and convey a profound spirit of Marronage [ Mawonaj ]
Siano takes its name from Eugène Mona's notable song “ Siano “ from his album “ Blan Manjé “ published in 1990 .
