Bouyon music

Bouyon (pronunciation: boo-your) is a genre of Dominican music that originated in Dominica in the late 1980s. Prominent bouyon groups include Windward Caribbean Kulture (WCK); Roots, Stems and Branches (RSB); and First Serenade. "Hardcore bouyon", also called "Gwada-Bouyon," is another type of bouyon, different from the Dominican genre, which began through musical collaborations between citizens of Dominica and Guadeloupe, who both speak Antillean Creole. The term bouyon means something akin to "gumbo soup" or "coubouyon poisson" (a typical Caribbean dish) in Antillean Creole.
