jing ping music dominica culture pt1

Jing Ping is a kind of folk music originated on the slave plantations of Dominica, also known colloquially as an accordion band. In Dominican folk music, jing ping bands accompany a circle dance called the flirtation, as well as the Dominican quadrille.
Jing ping bands are made up of a boumboum (boom pipe), syak or gwaj (scraper-rattle), tambal or tanbou (tambourine) and accordion. The double bass and banjo are also sometimes used.[5] Bamboo flutes led the jing ping ensembles before the 1940s, when accordions were introduced

Is there a certain time and place this music can be found? We would love to come hear it in person.. Is there an event focused on Jing Ping music?

Hopefully in the future, you can visit Dominica 🇩🇲 during the last week of October for the Music Festival and also the first week of November for independence. You will definitely be able to have the experience to listen to this in person 💕
