Zouk's Evolution in the Caribbean

French Créole figures prominently in the music, with a blend of Dominica and Haitian cadence styles.

Group Kassav' has been one of Zouk's main interpreters, mixing fast Zouk style with Compás. Zouk in Créole means, "shake intensely and repeatedly", but a "slow, soft, and sexual" rhythm also exists.

Well-known Zouk artists include Edith Lefel, Suzanna Lubrano, and Kaysha.
