- Beginning of the journey at Fort-de-France: Raphaël meets Willem Germany, the creator of the Performance Gospel School: they go to the Atrium where Karine Herthe and other singers sing gospel songs.Then In Saint-Luce Raphaël meets Frédérick Bolotte, a sailing coach, who shows him the sailing boats of the Martinique (gommier and yole): Etienne Charles , a shipwright explains them how they transform the trunk of a fig-tree into a boat and they make a tour with a sailing boat.Traditional fishermen practice seine-fishing.Then Raphaël goes to the race course of Lamentin: there a young woman , Luana Lalung explains how she became jockey and we see a horse race. Then in Rivière-Pilote Raphaël meets Prisca Morjon, a culinary blogger and also cuisine coach: in the market they find "bois d'Inde" , the West Indian bay tree or bay rum tree (Pimenta racemosa).They go to a distillery where Prisca has her workshop and she prepares with Raphaël Turban squashes (a yellow calabash) with leaves and bays of the WestIndian bay tree, lemon and other spices.At Sainte-Anne Raphaël meets Alex Dobat and Mathilde Brassy , a marine biologist and they dive near the Diamond Rock to see hawks-bill sea turtles.On this rock there are statues of African slaves made by the sculptor Laurent Valère.With Alex Dobat Raphaël travels to the "Presqu'île de la Caravelle": a natural park: they have a beautiful sight about the region and the Atlantic Ocean: later they meet Boutou, a guide who knows well the mangrove and tells the story of the "bain démarré", a ritual of purification like a bath in the sea to take off the influence of bad spirits.At Gros Morne Raphaël meets Renaud Bonnard , a young man who is now farmer and who promoting the solidarity between farmers (sharing their agricultural duties: Renaud and his wife prepares later a dish called trempage, wet bread with crab and fishes that they will share with the farmers of the area; later there is a traditional dance and song of the Martinique "bélé": a singer,, a great drum and the audience are singing and dancing music which is legacy of slave music tradition.In the forest we meet Sully Cally, the drum maker who is looking for mahogany wood and then is constructing these great drums. Besides the horse races the people are also interested in cockfight: there are 11 places for cockfight and people spend a lot of money in bets. Finally the visit of the Fidelin family is also interesting: Yolande and Ginette Fidelin have a program on the local radio station and speak about medicinal herbs in Martinique: on their estate they grow "atoumo"- in English shell ginger (Alpinia zerumbet), aloe and other herbs and sell herb teas and syrups.—zutterjp48
