Kasékò is a musical genre from French Guiana.
Like gwo ka and bélé, Kasékò from French Guiana is also a rhythm and a dance and is played with 3 drums and a Ti-bwa.
[1] The Guianan Creole term Kasékò derives from the French expression casser le corps (break the body) which was used during slavery in French Guiana to indicate a swift dance.
Kasékò is an autogenic music based on the traditional dances of African slaves and mixed with European and Amerindian cultural contributions.
