Hope you're all having a calm Sunday, thank you for this episode.

[@alexunder1784]

there's something special about zouk that i can't put into words. the groove, the rhythm, the melodies, something was in the air back then. love this selection!

[@jamalraouf3645]

Thanks Alex - I totally agree, it’s a mix of so many interesting elements from a musically rich part of the world!

[@Fantasticbeasts992]

You couldn’t describe it better my parents are from the capeverdian islands so I always had a connection with the rhythm of zouk but the last few years I discover oldskool zouk from Guadeloupe, reunion island etc I have allot of records at home that I bought the last years I like the grooves vocals everything the vibe of the music is amazing, Hunee, Antal, Palms Trax plays also allot of zouk in their sets

[@gainstage4497]

That Isonoe rotary lookin so comfortable and cozy…

[@musiquetoutterrain]

Man you have turned me on to zouk i've been digging non stop it's amazing thank you

[@elalpaka6577]

OMG you're so right. When I wake up in the morning I just think to myself; "oh praise Him, for giving us this groove". Peace and love brother, peace and love x

[@phrayzar]

After 25+ years of collecting and DJing, I suppose I was feeling a little jaded with music collecting and listening, and then this amazing set turns up. Something very special indeed. I'm hearing a lot of Wally Badarou type synths in here, is this where he got his sound? Massive respect sir. And thank you.

[@jamalraouf3645]

Thanks for the kind words Phrayzar - really means a lot to me

[@curlz4281]

First time listening to this genre of music, beautiful mix! My favourites were Pouki Tou Sa (Carole) & Ti Gason (Fe Respew)

First track is more gwo ka fusion than zouk.....along the lines of Erick Cosaque but with more synths

Very true

[@juanestadian8471]

@@jamalraouf3645 Hey bro......I'm really interested in getting a hold of French Caribbean vinyl. So i was doing some research on where to find it. It seems that its almost impossible to find vinyl on the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. You are an expert obviously so do you know where to look? I was in Belgium a few years ago but all they had were Kassav records and I'm going a bit deeper than that....I mean records by Joby Bernabe especially
