An uptempo version of the biguine rhythm (with tambour drum and tibwa sticks) that combines other carnival elements. It is a form of call-and-response music from Guadeloupe and Martinique, with the bandleader singing a verse and the audience responding. Modern instrumentation adds a variety of improvised drums made from containers of all kinds, plastic plumbing, bells, tanbou débonda (double-headed barrel drums), and chacha bèlè (maracas).
