Kassav' - Difé

Review by Jay Goodrich

Difé, the latest album from Kassav', is a vibrant and energetic celebration of Caribbean and African rhythms. The band has been a pioneer of zouk music for over four decades, and their latest offering is a testament to their enduring creativity and musical prowess.

The album features a range of upbeat and danceable tracks, such as "Mwen Vlé," "Pawol," and "Ansanm Ansanm." These songs are characterized by their catchy melodies, lively percussion, and the distinctive vocal harmonies that have become a hallmark of Kassav's sound.

However, the album also has its quieter moments, such as the soulful ballad "Mizik Sé Lanmou" and the reflective "Lévé Yo Péyi La." These tracks showcase the band's ability to evoke a range of emotions through their music, and are a testament to the depth and nuance of their songwriting.

Wow la belle Jocelyne ,avec sa voix d'or...Vraiment ça c'est c'est de la musique!
Avec Kassav, que de belles musiques!
contente d'avoir connu ce groupe légendaire, depuis ma petite enfance jusqu'à ce jour...
J'ai encore les larmes aux yeux quand je vois Patrick Saint Eloi et Jacob Desvarieux ,
La séparation est très difficile ,mais il va falloir l'accepter
Vraiment Qu'ils reposent en paix
Longue vie au groupe !
