Ceistean & freagair
What is zouk?+
Zouk is the dance music of Guadeloupe and Martinique, created by the band Kassav' in the early 1980s and sung mostly in Antillean Creole.
What language is zouk sung in?+
Mostly Antillean Creole, which is one reason the music travelled so widely through other Creole-speaking regions.
Is zouk the same as konpa?+
No. Konpa is Haitian and older; zouk comes from the French Antilles and was shaped in part by Haitian konpa among other Caribbean styles. They are neighbours, not the same genre.
