%X L¡¯article s¡¯int¨¦resse ¨¤ l¡¯interculturalit¨¦ entre deux ph¨¦nom¨¨nes culturels que sont le Gwo-ka et le Blues issus de la diaspora africaine aux Am¨¦riques. Le Gwo-ka est une expression culturelle n¨¦e en Guadeloupe,  le fran aise situ¨¦e dans la mer des Cara bes. Le Blues est ¨¦galement une expression culturelle n¨¦e dans le Sud des ¨¦tats-Unis. ¨¤ partir de l¡¯analyse de leur   matrice   sociohistorique, il s¡¯agira de mettre en ¨¦vidence les rapprochements entre les diff¨¦rentes fonctions socioculturelles. Nous tenterons de comprendre si la th¨¦orie de l¡¯Atlantique Noir de Paul Gilroy, reliant les communaut¨¦s afro-diasporiques du Nouveau Monde, est valable dans le cadre de notre sujet d¡¯¨¦tude. The article deals with the intercultural exchanges between two cultural movements rooted in the African Diasporas. In Guadeloupe, a French island in the Caribbean, Gwo-ka was born on the plantation in the 17th century. Blues appeared in the southern United-States by the end of the 19th century. In order to illustrate the similarities between these two afro-diasporic cultural phenomena, the article first examines the economic and social factors that prompted their emergence. Second, it compares their socio-cultural functions within their respective communities. Using Paul Gilroy¡¯s theory of the Black Atlantic, the article concludes with a questioning of his thesis within the framework of the present study.
