Zouk
Zouk is a fast jump-up carnival beat style originating from the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, originated and popularized by the French Antillean band Kassav' in the 1980s. Very rapid in tempo, the style lost ground in the 1980s due to the strong presence of kadans or compas, the main music of the French Antilles. Today, zouk is the French Antilles compas,〔Peter Manuel, Musics of the Non-Western World, Chicago press University 1988p74〕 also called zouk-love.
==Etymology==
The Creole word ''zouke'', ''sekwe'', or ''zouke'', etc. from the French verb ''secouer'' meaning "shake intensely and repeatedly" was used by Haitian artists who toured the French Antilles during the late 1970s and 1980s.〔Skah Sha and Magnum band were among the first Haitian music groups to use the word ''souke/zouke'' in the French Antilles. Magnum band, which toured the Caribbean countless times, once spent two years in Martinique and Guadeloupe. The band leader, guitar player Dadou Pasket, popularized the word ''zouke'' in many live tunes, especially on the album ''La seule difference'', Ibo Records, 1981, in the song "pike devan" meaning "full speed ahead". During the same year "Les Skah sha #1 that frequently toured the French Antilles featured an LP album called ''This is it'', produced by Mini Records, July 1981. "Zouke" is the second tune's title.〕
The word ''zouk'' has, over time, come to mean "party" or "festival" in the local Antillean Creole of French.
