History
Bouyon is a genre from Dominica that took shape in the late 1980s. In Antillean Creole the name means something like gumbo soup, or coubouyon poisson, a typical Caribbean dish, and the music is cooked the same way: jing ping and cadence-lypso stirred together with the island's traditional dances, bèlè, quadrille, chanté mas and lapo kabwit, plus mazurka and zouk. Part of the beat traces to 1987, when Exile One recorded L'hivernage, a chanté mas and lapo kabwit song that French Antilleans called jump up music for its carnival feel. That jump-up beat was later reshaped into bouyon, and in Guadeloupe and Martinique jump up still means bouyon. The genre's leading groups are Windward Caribbean Kulture (WCK), Roots, Stems and Branches, and First Serenade. From 1995 the vocalist Skinny Banton, now known as Shadowflow, chanted ragga-style over WCK rhythms and became the key figure of bouyon-muffin, which mixes in raggamuffin, hip hop and dancehall and later fed a style called reketeng. Bouyon soca fuses the genre with soca, and hardcore bouyon, or Gwada-bouyon, grew from collaborations between Dominicans and Guadeloupeans who share Antillean Creole.
