	antilles
		The Antilles now generally refers to the islands of the Caribbean or West Indies, except the Bahamas.
		A distinction is made between the "Greater Antilles", including Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico; and the "Lesser Antilles" (the remainder of the islands).
		Like the name "Brazil", the word "Antilles" dates from a period anterior to the discovery of the New World, "Antilia" being one of those mysterious lands which figured on the medieval charts sometimes as an archipelago, sometimes as continuous land of greater or lesser extent, constantly fluctuating in mid-ocean between the Canaries and East India.

	World Music Central - Zouk: Rhythm of the Lesser Antilles
		Talking about music in Martinique and Guadalupe means talking about the 'biguine' that was born from the promiscuity of European and African forms.
		The zouk were, at the beginning of the 20th century, some fiestas, popular dances that were very 'hot,' to which, it seems, many gentlemen of the bourgeoisie were accustomed to go without their wives.
		One of the artists that has become interested in the music roots is Kali, recovering a tradition with a brilliant band named Malavoi: Creolized European dances (polka, mazurca.) served by sugary voices, charming violins and elegant arrangements.

		And, bringing the dance music focus full circle, the CD closes with a strange “Reel,” an Africanized version of a Scottish dance song; the drums are clearly African in origin, but the scraping, atonal violins retain some hint of their Scotch antecedents (though they could just as easily have originated in a modern avant-garde improvisation).
		In many ways, the diversity of the album is almost schizophrenic, with the wide variety of cultures represented in the Lesser Antilles resulting in an even more varied document than even the most scattered other albums in the Explorer Series.
