KASSAV - Zouk La Ce Sel Medicament Nou Ni (Live)

Zouk actually originated in the islands of the Caribbean that have French colonial history attached to them - St. Lucia happens to be one of them. The people of these islands also speak French Creole, hence the reason why zouk is so popular in these islands.

This is Jacob Deverieux from Martinique--- his band is called Kassav--- Kassav is modern day manna in Martinique, Guadeloupe etc. Hence the name of his group.
