- Jacob Desvarieux, singer guitar player, music producer and co-founder of the legendary group Kassav, passed away on Friday, July 30th 2021at the University Hospital of Abymes in Guadeloupe. He was 65 years old.
According to media reports from Martinique and Guadeloupe, Desvarieux passed away from complications of COVID-19. He had pre-existing medical onditions including diabetes and a recent renal surgery. He had been hospitalized and placed in a medically-induced coma since July 19th.
Originally a heavy metal rock guitarist living in Paris, Desvarieux formed Kassav in 1979 with musicians George and Pierre-Eduard Decimus of the Kadans fusion band, the Vikings of Guadeloupe.
The group used the influence of well-known Dominican, Haitian and Guadeloupean bands to create a Guadeloupean carnival sound known as Zouk.
In 1980, the band, whose name is French for Cassava, launched its first album Love and Ka Dance and toured widely through Paris.
In 1983, Kassav released Zouk La Se Sel Medikamen Non Ni (Zouk Is The Only Medicine We Have) off their second album, Yélélé. It became the first Antillean record to sell 100,000 copies.
Kassav has produced over 50 albums, a combination of band albums and solo projects from members of the band.
The band celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2019.
Kassav was popular throughout the Caribbean, particularly in islands such as Haiti, St Lucia and Dominica, where they last performed at the World Creole Music Festival in 2018.
The band also performed at the 2019 Carifesta held in Trinidad and Tobago, impressing the audience with their clean sound and energetic vibe.
Earlier that year, Desvarieux collaborated with soca king Machel Montano on the Motto-produced track Dance on the Ole Ting Riddim.
A music producer famously told him once while starting out that he would never be a successful singer with that kind of voice. His 42 years of groundbreaking success and music legacy lives on.
