Jacob F. Desvarieux / Georges Decimus
Zouk pioneers Jacob Desvarieux, Georges, and Pierre-Edouard Decimus worked together as Kassav and to mark their 40th anniversary comes this vinyl pressing of Yelele. The group was founded in 1979 and went on to leave an indelible mark on global music. From their roots in Guadeloupe and Martinique, Kassav’ popularised zouk worldwide and earned numerous gold and platinum records. Despite the tragic loss of Desvarieux to Covid-19 in 2021, Kassav’s legacy thrives through their ongoing live concerts. Their music is infused with Caribbean rhythms like Guadeloupe’s gwo-ka and Martinique’s ti-bwa so transcends cultural boundaries and hooks in dancers everywhere from Japan to Russia. Four decades later, Kassav’s timeless hits still resonate as this album reminds us.
