The "Antilhanas" (Antillean) part of the mix refers to music from the French West Indies (Guadeloupe and Martinique). In the early 1980s, the band pioneered Zouk , a fast-paced, percussion-driven style that became a global sensation. As it spread to Portuguese-speaking Africa (PALOP countries), it evolved into a slower, more romantic form known as Zouk-Love , which heavily influences the track selection in DJ Ady M's mix. 2.
