Zin Delivered Big Time at Zouk'N Zin Friday S- Martine Marseille was a big hit.

Last Friday April 30, 2010 was the grand premiere of Zouk'N Zin Fridays. 
A new Concept in weekly event mixing the popularity of Zouk with Live Kompa.


That day was the comeback of Zin after a period of inactivity in the NY scene. Many wondered if Zin would  be able to motivate the crowd like the old days with the absence of many of its original members, mainly Alan Cave. Would Polo, the most recent singer be able to rise up to the occasion as the only singer on the front line? Will there be some Surprise female singer? etc.

The answer is that Zin did it big time. Even though the repertoire was mostly made of the traditional Zin songs, the delivery was different and new flavors were added to the old recepies. Polo was at his best and delivered brillantly, maybe his best performance so far. One can see that the band rehearsed seriously to deliver this performance. Polo expressed  his respect for Alan Cave, whom Polo said he learned a lot from and was proud to follow in his footstep. He then performed one the trademark song of Alan Cave to standing ovation.


The public responded big time to the calling. The traditional Zin Ladies were present in full force looking their best and showing that the love is still there for the band traditionaly known as the Hit music Factory. We're still waiting for Zin to release their new compositions to the public, but we are confident that it willl happen soon at Zouk'N Zin Fridays.

The Guest artist for the night was a relatively new and unknown vocalist named Martine Marseille. RockMasters Ent. had a chance to see her perform brillantly at Ayiti Deploge. So we invited her to be the guest artist for the grand premiere of Zouk'N Zin Fridays. She was a little nervous about the offer to stand in front of the demanding Zin public, where divas like Georgie, Nia, Sandra, etc. have made a name for themselves.  Actually I learned from talking to her the next morning that it was her first performance in front of a band.
Well, you could not tell  that from waching her deliver. From the moment she started singing, she took full control of the stage and the public. Little by little people were leaving their seats  to stand in front of the stage to watch, listen and applaud. Extremely good vocal and stage presence. Real sexy looking to. Congratulations Martine.

Half time performance was by the one and only master of the Zouk, DJ Stakz of Hi-Profyle Ent. Nothing needs to be said about DJ Stakz. If you do not know what I am talking about, just be at Zouk'N Zin next Friday May 7. DJ Stakz on the Zouk will open the night.

For next Friday, we have another big show for you. This time we bring you the famous "Spoken Word" groups out of Haiti named 'TPS'. If you have not seen these youngsters before, then you're in for the shock of your life. I've seen them bring the house down twice at Ayit Deploge. So get ready for the TPS experience 


- SO FELLOWS COME ON; TREAT THE BEAUTIFUL ZOUK'N ZIN LADIES WITH CLASS, DRINKS AND DANCES.


UPDATE: (TPS HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED AND WILL APPEAR ON JUNE 11)
