	Review/Music; Kassav' Plays Zouk, Sound of Caribbean - New York Times
		Zouk (which rhymes with ''juke'') is the Caribbean's most up-to-date dance music; it comes from the cross-pollination of ritual and carnival music from Guadeloupe with other Caribbean and North American dance music and French pop, delivered with modern instruments and recording-studio precision.
		Kassav', a band of musicians from Guadeloupe and Martinique that's now based in Paris, played two hours of buoyant zouk that made a sweat-drenched audience at the Ritz zouke from start to finish.
		Kassav' is an international ambassador for Caribbean dance music; even singing in Creole, their songs about love and dancing got through to the audience members who didn't understand the language.

	Reviews/Music; Kassav' in Songs of the French Caribbean - New York Times
		The audience, packed onto the dance floor and crowded onto balconies, was there to hear one of the French-speaking Caribbean's best bands play zouk, the shiny, horn-laden and slightly hyperactive music from Guadeloupe and Martinique.
		While the group showed its musical mastery, it also gave a lesson in how to make the crowd come together; at times it had the audience fluttering its hands in the air or leaning over from side to side as if participating in a Jane Fonda video.
		The vocalists -helped along by the group's dancers - start battling the horn section with their own riffs and chants, and the music becomes an agent for dance.
