KASSAV'

One of, if not the most legendary Caribbean acts ever, and festival favourite KASSAV' will be back!

Since their formation in 1979, the band has constantly evolved. By fusing traditional Gwo Ka and Bèlè rhythms with modern funk and disco, they gave the world Zouk, a genre that changed the face of African and Caribbean music forever. Led by founding members Jocelyne Béroard, Jean-Philippe Marthély, and Georges Décimus, they are an incomparable band and remain the most thrilling live collective from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and the entire Caribbean sea.

After the passing of co-founder and bandleader Jacob Desvarieux in 2021, they needed time to reflect and recharge. KASSAV' can touch your soul and hypnotize you; with renewed spirit and the desire to honour their companion, they still play hit after hit and touching both our hearts and our dancing feet.
