Zouk Band Kassav, literally have zero chill!!!!
Zouk Music Made You Do It!!!!
Kassav are undeniably the greatest Zouk band of all time. There music is so potent, that before any of the band utter a single note, fans are already captivated as soon as the live music begins.
When your product, music, is this good, words literally are unneccesary.
Kassav’s music is obviously pleasing to the ear, the melodies and rhythms these masters of Zouk put out are pleasing even if there is a language barrier.
Much like Afrobeats, with or without a language barrier, musical pleasure is communicated. As this next clip below will demonstrate.
Zouk music, is music for dancing.
Zouk music, literally finds you whereever you are, takes a hold of you pulls you to bust a move (or 20). Like Soca music, Zouk music is a Caribbean genre of music designed to uplift, spread joy and emancipate those who partake in it, from the harsh realities of life. Also, like Soca music, Zouk music is a music designed for you to party to, again dance and shake a leg to!!!!
Kassav Can Teach Us All A Lot
As mentioned in Zouk La, (almost certainly the biggest hit of all of Kassav’s many hits) Zouk, is a medicine to remedy the oppressed, forgotten, marginalized people, that may lack access to other more traditional forms of medicine. Zouk confronts the harsh realities of life by using them as a reason, a motivation for having a good time despite the unfortunate side of life.
In fact, Kassav and Zouk music are examples of what Caribbean people ultimately should do. Accept adversity as an invitation or challenge to outgrow and overcome. Kassav, have opted to do this through Zouk music. Which makes Kassav’s music the perfect music for anyone opting to lead a life of growth and trailblazing.
Through their Zouk, these legends provide a harmonious reminder that music is to be danced to. With the popularity of genres like Hip Hop and Modern Dancehall, folks can develop a habit of singing along to their favorite songs, rather than dancing.
For the observant, watching these legends of Zouk perform is a reminder that music, was made for people to move too. More specifically, music was made for us to dance too!!!! If music is good enough to make you want to sing, that is one level unlocked. If it is good enough to make you want to nod your head to the beat also. That is another level unlocked. However, if music is able to make you do all of the above and dance like there is no tomorrow or anyone else watching. Now, all levels are unlocked and you are experiencing the liberation and freedom that only music affords.
Money can never buy that type of feeling or experience. Which is why no matter what fans pay to see Kassav, they always get more than their money’s worth.
Love, positive energy, keeps people young and neither Kassav or their music, show any signs of aging.
Proof that the medicine of Zouk, is a de facto fountain of youth. These legends of Zouk will always be relevant as they adminster healing across the Caribbean and world with the medicine that is Zouk. For over an hour, people get to consume the highest quality Zouk music, whilst they forget their problems, move to the Zouk and surrender to the timeless vibes of Zouk.
There is no guess work being done here. In 1988, the band (if you include solo & group projects) had released over 20 albums. Today, that number has more than doubled. As time does tell, Kassav’s formula is a successful one. With these masters of Zouk having emphatically achieved success.
After all, Kassav’s live performance is one of the most viewed (5th) videos on our YouTube channel.
Another reason why this legendary Zouk band will always be in high demand is the ills Zouk seeks to remedy continue to exist. Poverty, marginalization and simply needing to feel good are why Kassav will always be needed.
Zouk Is Still The Only Medicine We Need
This legendary Zouk band have been successful so long that at this point, they are simply playing with house money. Having first found success in the 80’s and been touring the world virtually non stop from then until now. It means, way more than 10,000 hours of mastery has been achieved. As Malcolm Gladwell who wrote Outliers would probably put it, Kassav are certified Outliers. They know exactly what songs to sing, to make the crowd feel exactly how they want us too.
Their musical versatility and depth of hits, ensure Kassav are in full control of our happiness when they perform. One thing Kassav never do, is disappoint. They never fumble, never underwhelm. On the contrary, these legends were built to last. Legends never die (in our hearts) they live forever. Instead they give us a joy and a happiness that too can last forever. Much like at a Barbershop, Caribbean people can forever debate, which songs are Kassav’s greatest of all time.
One thing that will never be debated though, is which Zouk band is the greatest of all time. That, is a no brainer. The Caribbean and the world know hands down, undeniably, Kassav are the greatest Zouk band of all time and this is because their medicine (Zouk music), is the most great.
