Terre de Blues festival is the emblematic event of Marie-Galante, a quiet island in the Guadeloupe archipelago. It attracts every year, since its creation, several thousand visitors during the weekend of Pentecost.
To understand the global reach of this festival, we have to go back to its genesis. The first idea was to celebrate the city of Saint Louis, there in Senegal, the United States and Marie-Galante. These places were carefully chosen in order to propose a festival mixing African heritage, Afro-American blues and Creole heritage. This is how, many internationally renowned artists, bring this link to life each year, to the delight of festival-goers.
