	LAMECA - Panorama des musiques guadeloupéennes
		Véritable complexe musico-chorégraphique, le balakadri exécute toute une série de musiques, le quadrille bien sûr, la biguine, le tango, la valse et la polka (considérée par les musiciens eux-mêmes comme proche de la mazurka martiniquaise).
		Les frais de participations à un balakadri ou un léwòz sont en effet une forme de prêt puisque en retour l'organisateur sera à un moment où à un autre en position de payer sa participation à une soirée organisée par quelqu'un d'autre.
		On l'a vu, balakadri et léwòz sont étroitement liés à un mode de vie communautaire.

	Musical Tradition in Martinique
		The founders of the group Kassav (which epitomizes the zouk sound), Pierre-Edouard Décimus and Jacob Devarieux, then mixed in the festive ambiance and sense of release which marks the vidé (spontaneous street carnival parade), and integrated rhythmic elements of the dances of old.
		In this way a zouk (a dance party), after the fashion of the balakadri (from the French bal à quadrilles) and the bal granmoun (old-time evening balls) featured the new zouk sound in alternation with dances such as biguines, slows, and mazurkas to punctuate the evening's ambience.
		On top of this already successful formula, the creators continued to creolize by slipping in the syncopation of calypso, bringing the bass to the fore as in reggae, emphasizing guitar solos, and adding staccato brass, all solidly anchored in the ostinato figures of the drums as heard in the contemporary Zairean sound.
