The most widely used instruments during Creole Day performances, besides vocals, are the "Shak-Shak" (similar to the maracas), the Boom-Boom (a large, wooden, windpipe instrument), Accordion, tambourine, and Tambos (a goat-skin drum, beaten during traditional dances or recitations of Creole-language songs or limericks). Jounen Kwéyòl is usually observed by wearing the island's national wear, which is composed of the Wob Dwiete and jip ensemble for the women and a Madras (a special type of plaid material) jacket, white shirt, black slacks, and red sash for the men.
