Haiti music video > Haitian Music > Zouglou Zouglou Is A Dance Oriented Style Of Music From The Côte D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) That First Evolved In The 1990s. Zouglou started with students (les parents du Campus) from the University of Abidjan. It has since spread elsewhere, including to Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Gabon.
Popular with the youth, the lyrics are written in local languages and French street slang, and has parallels with the evolution of rap in the West. It uses humor to depict anything going wrong in the society.
Groups associated with the zouglou style include Magic System (who have become a major act locally and in France, Belgium and Switzerland), Sur-Choc (who appeared on the soundtrack of the Fifa Street 2005 game), les Garagistes and Mercenaires.
