Cola-zouk
Über Cola-zouk
Cola-zouk, also called cabo-zouk, is the glossy electric dance-pop the Cape Verdean diaspora built by crossing coladeira with the zouk of the French Antilles. Emerging in the 1980s and 1990s across Rotterdam, Lisbon, and Boston, it became the sound of emigrant dance floors through stars like Suzanna Lubrano and Gil Semedo. Smooth, romantic, and made for slow-dancing, it later blended into kizomba and cabo-swing.
