It is the ambassador of zouk that we make you discover through this second episode of the portrait of Kassav, a West Indian group.

Zouk, a musical style that one of its members, Jacob Desvarieux, would have hoped to see evolve differently, moreover when we were the initiator.

How did Kassav know how to cultivate his zouk without compromising himself, how do these musicians live this profession, what is their way of writing?

Answers in this section number 2.
