There's the curiosity here in Brazil about zouk: it was the rhythm of choice by the orphans of lambada when the trend came to an end already in the early-1990s when became a craze here an around the world. Suddenly there were lots of lambada dancers without lambada to dance. As this French Caribbean rhythm has a tempo that reminds lambada's, but not the same, people here adapted the way of dancing, shaking hips instead of making the complex leg movements someone would have when listening to Kaoma. Maybe the first Brazilian zouk discoverers were people of Pará, coincidentally the state where lambada was born. Due to its geographic position, it was possible to listen to Caribbean stations through the short wave radio, as sets with this feature are common to be seen there due to remoteness of some regions. Pará music scene itself is heavily influenced by the Caribbean one, as can be seen on the main local rhythm, the brega. Zouk as a Brazilian ballroom dance has the curiosity of becoming independent from the rhythm that gave its name. As long as tempo matches, you can dance if it's playing reggaeton and even som pop song, specially the most recent ones, that tend to follow this construction. The way Brazilians dance zouk can also owe to people gathering to former lambada clubs and developing the steps when listening to that strange rhythm that came from Martinique and Guadeloupe. Here in São Paulo, there was a place called Lambar, a club on the neighborhood of Santo Amaro, on the Southern side of the city. Probably other places in other cities were also important on this transition. Despite tracing its roots to what was a hugely popular rhythm, zouk in my country is something more restricted to the ballroom dance bubble or clubs specialized in Caribbean music that's isn't salsa. It also gained some adopters overseas, but for sure isn't to ballroom dance what Brazilian jiu-jitsu is to martial arts. Follow below some examples of Brazilian zouk dance: th-cam.com/video/xY_5fKHBp4k/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/uTce0IFhEdY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/YwiCZHOs97M/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/VekXQ3wieAM/w-d-xo.html
andré, pensei a msm coisa qndo ouvi o set todo, nao manjo nada de musica, mas a similaridade com lambada é muita, e com alguns pagodes dos anos 90 tbm cê nao acha?
@@liviaberrogain Com pagode em si nunca notei uma similaridade em relação a andamento de música, mas talvez em algum detalhe de dança (aqui considerando o modo como paulistanos dançam pagode). O andamento do zouk, que é 1-2-3, não era muito comum de se ouvir até uns anos atrás em música em geral, tanto que quem dança a modalidade brasileira consegue fazê-lo até mesmo em uma canção como a versão de "Careless Whisperer" gravada pela Tamia: th-cam.com/video/J3sBQwCDzZQ/w-d-xo.html Note que essa canção nada tem de caribenho e, se lembramos de trópicos, com certeza é o Trópico de Câncer, no Hemisfério Norte. Porém, como se vê, o andamento cai naquilo que é dançável em zouk. Esse andamento 1-2-3, que se não me engano é conhecido por progressão canônica em termos musicais, acabou ficando mais comum em tempos recentes no pop mundial, talvez depois do enorme sucesso de "Despacito", que por ser reggaeton acaba tendo o mesmo tipo de andamento. Após esse sucesso, virou um pouco onda na música mundial, a ponto de haver hoje em dia vários sucessos dançáveis na modalidade brasileira de zouk justamente por cair no ritmo. Vou acabar ouvindo uns pagodes dos anos 1990 para ver se encontro alguma similaridade de andamento com o zouk em pelo menos algum dos muitos sucessos dessa época de nossa canção. Considerando que Raça Negra, Negritude Jr. e outros expoentes do ritmo naquela época faziam umas graças com os instrumentos e a batida, devem existir umas canções que acabam tendo 1-2-3, em que pese o samba em geral ficar mais em 1-2-3-4. Existem algumas canções que são meio ambíguas no andamento, pois se você pega a cadência de um instrumento dá para dançar em um determinado ritmo, enquanto se guiando pela de outro consegue-se dançar de outra forma. Um exemplo simples disso é "Vô Batê Pra Tu" (Baiano e os Novos Caetanos), que dá para dançar tanto em forró quanto em samba-rock, a depender do instrumento pelo qual você se guia.
After almost a year of listening, I can safely say that this is probably my most favourite mix of all time. It definitely saved my 2023 and lifted me up many many many times. Thanks man ❤🧡💛 Zouk rhythm lives forever 🔥
As martinican I'm really amazed by your expertise of the genre a few of non native can make de difference between the eras of zouk. It's a pleasure to discover songs that i've never heard before your set.
Same! I have the vinyl record collection and channel. All I need is the Dj setup and the room and I'm set! Zag has always been a great inspiration to me as an aspiring DJ.
Hey! This is great! I only recently learned about Zouk when I came across a couple Kassav' albums at the record store. I don't know much about the genre and am still getting my bearings. But I've enjoyed it a lot. It feels so fun and upbeat. I'm enjoying this DJ set. And I'm grateful for the set list for I can go learn more about those artists. Thank you! @musicalbackpackingwjoshfb ♥
C'est quand même du grand art !! Bravo Josh !! Un plaisir de l'écouter chaque semaine et de danser dans toutes les pièces de l'appartement comme si le zouk était en moi !! #supportfromdijon
My pleasure! The well runs deep - glad to be an introduction. More to come on our Discotheque Tropicale TH-cam Channel (and record label). Zouk love ❤️

Gérard Hubert - Dancé Bonnes pas Dancé
Full tracklist is in the pinned comment from our “discotheque Tropicale” page But it’s Chorus - Lovely (add zouk to the search and it should come up on TH-cam)
All the respect to the creators and legends who made the genre what it is. Forever in debt to them and their originality. But in my humble opinion having dug zouk for a long time, the genre runs very deep and goes beyond just Kassav and what they created. There are so many amazing records out there… many of which I prefer to the Kassav ones tbh
Also there are many incredible zouk artists who I don’t think get their fair dues… so for me I wanted to take the opportunity to showcase and promote music from a few of those people. Gwedi, Jean-Claude Brice, Chorus (Alex Fauchi), Pascal Latour, Gérard Hubert, Serge Régent, Jean-Claude Renaudeau… These are all examples of such artists. Thanks for listening tho I hope you enjoyed the selections nonetheless ☺️
@@musicalbackpackingwjoshfb lineup is killer . Loved it. Haven't dug into zouk as much as you have , but I can't get 'Lague moin' Outta my head. It's so fucking groovy !
