	POP REVIEW;Dancing and Politics by Way of Martinique - New York Times
		The party and politics merge easily in the music of the singer and banjoist Kali, from Martinique by way of Paris.
		Kali sings well enough; the music mixed elements of traditional music from Martinique with relaxed funk and a few aspects of reggae, from the cruising ragamuffin style to the claqsic 1970's music of Bob Marley; a few rappers from Martinique showed up to mix hip-hop and dancehall reggae.
		And the music was rife with sensuality, but with a kindness that isn't always the case with either dance music or political commitment.

		There have been many political parties other than the two dominant ones, but most third parties are generally considered to be of only minor and short-lived political significance.
