Spectacles on Saint Martin : Art and Culture

Art & Culture on Saint Martin : Spectacles

Music

You are in the Caribbean, so music is more than just rhythm, it’s an integral part of everyday life. There is no occasion that is not a party occasion here, and the atmosphere swings with melodies of zouk (Kassay, Zouk Machine, Ralph Thamar etc.), reggae and its multiple variants, ragga, meringue, beguine, gwoka and jazz. Live gigs are organised by several establishments around Cabrel or Johnny, and don’t miss out on the music festival in the month of February. And let’s face it: it is by far easier for ladies to experience the “secret” of Antillean rhythms than it is for men… sirs, take a deep breath and let your ladies go.

Gospel

Sundays are rendered unforgettably lively by the sounds of choir music that fill the churches and their surroundings. Gospel music rocks the soul and delights foreign passers-by with its unique rhythms: an authentic moment in the life of Saint Martin, vibrating with happiness and joy.
