    We run a young cultural and social association nestled in a lush natural setting, in Basse-Terre, between Bouillante and Vieux-Habitants (Guadeloupe, French West Indies).

    Our project is to create a living, vibrant space for sharing and transmission, centered around music, Creole cultures, and popular expression.

    We are Fanny and Sasha, both 33 years old, musicians and educators!
    We share our Kaz (Creole for "home") with Laiko, our sweet and loyal dog, and our two affectionate cats, Cosmos & Arcane.

    We offer:
    Music lessons (guitar, music production, vocals, percussion…) and Jam sessions and cultural exchange moments.

    Right now, we are officially launching the place and are looking for motivated and kind-hearted people to help us bring it to life.
