The fast-paced zouk of Kassav', the romantic biguine of Malavoi,
the jazz of Fal Frett, the ballads of Mona, and reggae of Kali and
Poglo are all part of the burgeoning popular music scene in the
French Caribbean. In this lively book, Brenda F. Berrian chronicles
the rise of this music, which has captivated the minds and bodies
of the Francophone world and elsewhere.
Based on personal interviews and discussions of song texts, Berrian
shows how these musicians express their feelings about current and
past events, about themselves, their islands, and the French.
Through their lyrical themes, these songs create metaphorical
"spaces" that evoke narratives of desire, exile, subversion, and
Creole identity and experiences. Berrian opens up these spaces to
reveal how the artists not only engage their listeners and effect
social change, but also empower and identify themselves. She also
explores the music as it relates to the art of drumming, and to
genres such as African American and Latin jazz and reggae. With
"Awakening Spaces, " Berrian adds fresh insight into the historical
struggles and arts of the French Caribbean.
