Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Zouk, created in Guadeloupe in the 1980s, is a key part of local identity. The festival honors this home-grown genre and its pioneers (like Kassav’). It connects Guadeloupecéans to their African and Caribbean roots while promoting contemporary interpretations of Zouk by new generations.
