You probably have never heard of it, unless you hail from the caribeans : "washé" (pronounced 'ooah-shay') is a strumming technique used in zouk and compas music.
I don't know where it comes from, maybe it was inspired by funk rhythm guitar.
Anyway, if you want to learn it, well good luck with that, if this is no part of your culture (which, as far as I am concerned, is my case). Yeah, there are very scarce ressources to learn. I know one DVD where you can learn this (http://www.play-music.com/fr/product/109_00_video_guitare_caraibes.html) but it's only two small chapters... and I don't think anyone can just learn by watching (even rewinding and repeating the same part again and again).
Well, I could pick one or two tricks, though I am still not mastering the technique. Anyway, I put a short video where I demonstrate it, to help those who want to learn it.
