Caribbean Music
No.1 The French Caribbean, Zouk music, and Kassav
Guadeloupe is a little-known Island in the Caribbean which has made an undeniable impact in music over the past half century, and some may argue even longer. This French Island, named as “Karukera” – The Island of Beautiful Waters, by the native Arawak, and renamed by Christopher Columbus as Santa Maria de Guadalupe, now Guadeloupe, is home to the music genre called Zouk.
