This is about the type of music; see Zouk (club) for the nightclubs in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Zouk is a style of rhythmic music originating from the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. It has its roots in Cadence music from Dominica, as popularised by Grammacks and Exile One. Zouk means 'party' in the local creole of French with English and African influences, all three of which contribute the sound. In Europe it is particularly popular in France, while on the African islands of Cape Verde they have developed their own type of Zouk.

Origins


Zouk was invented in the early to mid-1980s when many different styles were fused, such as Kompa, balakadri, the Dominica based Cadence and bal granmoun dances, mazurka and biguine, French and American pop, and kadans, gwo ka and other indigenous styles.
