He added, "Without being politicians or activists, Kassav' carried it all. From our faces to the themes in our songs, everything was very clear: We were West Indian, there should be no mistake, we wanted to mark our difference."

One of his bands in the 1970s, Zulu Gang, included musicians from Cameroon. Mr. Desvarieux also worked with the Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango, who had the international hit "Soul Makossa."
In 1979, in Paris, Mr. Desvarieux met Pierre-Edouard Decimus, a musician from Guadeloupe with an ambitious concept for a new band: strongly rooted in the West Indies but reaching outward. "We were looking to find a soundtrack that synthesized all the traditions and previous sounds, but that could be exported everywhere," Mr. Desvarieux said.
Kassav' was named after a Guadeloupean dish, a cassava-flour pancake, and also after ka, a drum. A zouk was a dance party, and a 1984 hit by Mr. Desvarieux, "Zouk-La-Se-Sel Medikaman Nou Ni" ("Zouk Is the Only Medicine We Have"), made the word zouk synonymous with the band's style.

In Luanda, the capital of Angola, there is a museum of zouk, La Maison du Zouk, that has a collection of 10,000 albums. Mr. Desvarieux and Pierre-Edouard Decimus attended its opening in 2012.

Throughout the band's career, even after Kassav' was signed to multinational labels and encouraged to sing in English, the band's lyrics were always in French Antilles Creole, insisting on its island heritage.
"The music is a stronger language than the language itself," Mr. Desvarieux said in 1986.

It's January 1st, ⛓️ Haitian Independence Day. France had ruled the colony of Saint-Domingue as part of its worldwide empire since 1659. However, in 1791, a group of enslaved Africans, inspired by the American and French Revolutions, began an epic struggle for freedom that culminated in victory and a declaration of independence on this day in 1804. The declaration proclaimed that the new republic would forever after be known by the same name it was known as before the Europeans had arrived – "Haiti," which means "High Land" in the Native American Taino language. 
The Haitian Revolution is Haiti's defining moment. It was the largest slave uprising since Spartacus' unsuccessful revolt against the Romans in 72 BCE. Haiti's victory came as a total surprise and shock to the rest of the world and inspired countless other slave revolts throughout the Western Hemisphere. It also paved the way for the termination of the transatlantic slave trade. This victory was also the final nail in the coffin of Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambitions for a New World French Empire. He’d sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States the previous year in part to pay for the defeat of the revolt in Saint-Domingue. That was not to be. Haiti became the first independent state in Latin America and the first in the New World to be led by a person of color. 
The victory over France put an end to Haiti's military fight for freedom, but not its political fight. The US and most European nations, including France, didn't immediately recognize Haiti's independence. France didn't officially do so until 1825. The US didn't do so until 1862. That doesn’t matter, though. All that matters is Haiti. The Haitians recognized their own independence on this day in 1804 and have continued to do so every day since. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

A primeira apresentação da fase individual feminina aconteceu no último domingo (09/04) e o ritmo da semana foi o zouk.
Rafa foi a quinta a entrar no palco do domingão ao lado do professor Fernando Perrotti, escolhido para ser sua dupla. Antes de sua apresentação, ela contou sobre como a dança tem lhe ajudado a controlar as crises de pânico.
Em uma apresentação cheia de movimentos aéreos de fazer o coração parar, a dupla foi embalada por Anitta cantando Veneno.
Com as notas criteriosas dos jurados técnicos pra todas as duplas, Rafa e Fernando terminaram a primeira semana da fase individual com um total de 55,3, empatando em terceiro lugar com outras duas duplas.
