The core of Kassav is Jocelyne Beroard, Jacob Desvarieux, Jean-Philippe Marthely, Patrick St. Eloi, Jean-Claude Naimro, Georges Decimus and Pierre-Edouard Decimus.
Through the release of Majestik Zouk, the band has released ten studio albums and one live album. Each bona fide member of the band has also released solo albums that include support by the entire band. Add various carnival projects under the pseudonyms Soukoue Ko Ou and Turbo II, and the total number of Kassav’-related albums approaches 30.
It’s indisputable that much of the most dramatic groundbreaking occurred on the early to mid-’80s solo releases. Of the official Kassav’ albums, all are interesting in that they provide a view into the development of what became the zouk sound.
