Bouyon in French Guiana: the Creole sound of the continent
French Guiana, a French territory of South America with a strong Creole culture, is part of bouyon’s natural audience. Tracks from Dominica, Guadeloupe and Martinique circulate there through the networks, radio and parties.
An audience connected to the Antilles
The Guyanese audience follows the same bouyon coverage as that of Gwada and Martinique: the same riddims, the same artists, the same dances. For Dominican artists, French Guiana completes the francophone triangle of the Caribbean and France.
