In the last week of October, discover the association Mayoleurs du Moule.
We decided to do a little cultural reflection around the Stick Fighting, an important element of Caribbean culture.
Originating in West Africa, in countries such as Benin, the Mayolè is a traditional stick dance very close to a martial art. It emerged during the period of slavery in Guadeloupe. Although it initially appeared in the commune of Saint-François, it is now mainly practised in the commune of Le Moule, notably because of the death of many practitioners during the First World War. During the fights, a singer usually sings traditional songs in Creole.
We thank them very much and invite you to follow their work on their respective pages
