Music Performance

The Carriacou Maroon and Stringband Music Festival is one of the purest cultural experiences in the world, merging the African maroon celebration and string band music into one unique setting. Held at the end of April annually, the festival celebrates the maroons who escaped slavery and built their own communities whilst preserving African heritage and culture. It also focuses on remembering the ancestors and giving thanks for life and a good harvest. Over three days, one will delve into the experience in which its African origins are depicted through drumming, singing, smoked food and other rituals which bring people together.

Founded by Shola K. Roberts, Dance Grenada is a platform for Grenadian and international dance artisans to share and increase their knowledge of dance. Each annual festival is an opportunity to honor the cultural practices of Grenada while showcasing the illustrious gems that Grenada has to offer. Participants in each festival enliven and enrich their own, and each other’s, experience of dance and cultural heritage while adding to the larger Grenadian dance community. Dance artists, choreographers, and educators facilitate and promote dance performances, preserve cultural legacy, and facilitate community engagement.
