Totally non-vintage: Has anyone heard of Zouk? It's the new music style coming from the French Caribbean, from what I gather. Haven't even heard any of it yet, but it intrigues me.

I guess the 1980's -is- new....depending on how you look at it...
"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. It was also made popular in central New Jersey by a band called the Roast Beef Curtains."
