Four-on-the-floor dance beats fueled the music of the French Antilles long before they energized disco, EDM, and countless dance pop acts. Case in point: La Compagnie Créole, who took the throbbing zouk and compas sounds of their native Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana international in the ‘80s. Singing in French and the islands' Créole dialect, La Compagnie deliver warm, sunny party tunes on such topics as rainbows, birds, masked balls, Paris, and Barack Obama.
