Zouk is a dynamic dance music genre that originated in the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. It’s celebrated for its romantic melodies, syncopated rhythms, and deep, flowing grooves. Over time, it has also become a central part of the musical identity in places like the Seychelles, blending seamlessly with local sounds.
Popularized in the 1980s by groundbreaking bands like Kassav’, Zouk fuses traditional Caribbean elements with modern production techniques. What makes it truly unique is the synergy between bass, drums, and guitar, each part adding its own flavor while remaining in perfect sync.
The video above explores exactly that interplay, using real course material to show how the Zouk groove is built from the ground up.
