About Me


Jaw-Wôpso
Que signifie ce mot étrange?
"Jaw" est un mot arabe qui symbolise un climat de convivialité, une bonne ambiance, la joie de vivre...
"Wôpso" est un mot créole qui signifie "salut", "comment ça va", ou encore "attention", indépendamment de son contexte, mais il est certain qu'il est toujours employé avec un point d'exclamation.
Ces deux mots mis ensemble résument la philosophie du Quartet "Jaw-Wôpso". Oui, on fait de la musique, mais le plus important, c'est qu'on se réunit pour partager ce qu'on aime, avec des gens qu'on aime.
«Jaw-Wôpso» est la rencontre de différentes cultures et influences, ce qui lui donne son originalité et sa richesse. Chacun des musiciens est un élément essentiel à ce métissage entre la Tunisie, la Guadeloupe et le Québec.
Jaw-Wôpso
What does that strange name means?
"Jaw" is an Arab word which symbolizes a convivial environment, a great atmosphere, the joy of
living... "Wôpso" is a creole word which means "hi", "how are you", or even "watch out",
depending on its context, but one thing is certain, it's always employed with an exclamation point!
These two words put together resume the philosophy of the "Jaw-Wôpso" quartet. Sure, we are making music,
but the important thing is that we come together to share something we love, with people we love.
"Jaw-Wôpso" is the meeting of various cultures and influences which gives it its originality and its richness. Every musician is an essential part of this mix between Tunisia, Guadeloupe and Quebec.
