	Biography - KASSAV
		The story of Kassav (the name comes from cassava, which is a mixture of manioc paste and coconut) began in 1979 when Pierre-Edouard Décimus, a member of a dance orchestra since the sixties, decided to revamp and modernise the music he had always played along with Freddy Marshall, another musician from the Antilles.
		Kassav then found itself in metropolitan France for the first in a long series of concerts at the Zénith, the famous Paris venue, which was sold out a month ahead of the concert on June 22 1985, with no promotion at all.
		Kassav's zouk/salsa fusion marked a new phase in the evolution of zouk, as the group's innovative new sound was not just a commercial venture.

		There are a few major changes on Kassav's new album - and one of the most blatant of these is the fact that you sing in Spanish not in Creole these days.
		When we first got Kassav off the ground, we wanted to try and create a completely new style of music, which would be a kind of synthesis of everything we'd grown up listening to.
		Kassav's new album, "Un toque latino", is a very clever mix of zouk and salsa - in fact, there seems to be just the right amount of each.

		While other Caribbean and Latin American countries were honing their own styles, music in the Antilles stagnated, simply copying salsa, calypso, jazz, the Dominican beat and other foreign rhythms.
		B.: Yes, maybe because Kassav' was created in Paris, where the Decimus brothers and Jacob Desvarieux, who all come from Guadeloupe, were living at the time.
		Today the public is spoiled for choice, but Kassav' still leads the field for this kind of music.

	RollingStone.com: Vini Pou : Kassav' : Review
		Not only is Kassav' the biggest name in zouk (the band is generally credited with having invented the style), but Vini Pou is its most tuneful and consistent album to date.
		From the dark, brassy bounce of "Zou (Zou)" to the giddy carnival exuberance of "Zòt' Vini Pou (Others Come For...)," the songs appeal to American pop tastes without diluting their Caribbean flavor, making this an ideal introduction to both Kassav' and zouk itself.
		And though the band makes no accommodations to an English-speaking audience, there's no mistaking the enthusiasm in the vocals or in the swirling, hyper-melodic arrangements.
