Jing Ping is a kind of folk music originated on the slave plantations of Dominica, also known colloquially as an accordion band.
Jing ping bands are made up of a boumboum (boom pipe), syak or gwaj (scraper-rattle), tambal or tanbou (tambourine) and accordion.
The Dominican flute tradition declined as a result, despite their additional use in serenades, until being revived after the National Independence Competitions.
[5] Bouyon legends Windward Caribbean Kulture (WCK) has played an important role in the development of Jing ping, giving credibility to a style that was seen as backward and unsophisticated.
It reflect a continuing trend to explore the jing ping sound and reproducing it using modern musical instruments and technology.
