    Hi, just to respond to the initial post, the remix of "Belle Zouk" was done by Francky Vincent in '99:

        Bonjour, je suis à la recherche de la chanson "Sous le vent" en version zouk, je l'ai dans la tête depuis mon retour de Guadeloupe, elle est magnifique, tout comme ce pays. Merci de me dire comment l'obtenir.

          Hi Josh, thanks for the info. I'm continuing my search on my end. All I have left to do is hit the record stores hoping to find his albums.

            Hello
            to add to what the excellent Mikael said, the group Zoukovery has made 4 compilation albums of covers but unfortunately I have only found one still on sale ---> here

                re mickael, and thank you. I'm looking for the version of Daniel Guichard's "La tendresse," does that ring a bell?

                  Not really! I didn't know there was a zouk version. I'll try to look for it online this afternoon, and if I find something, I'll keep you posted! If by chance you find a link too, it would be nice of you to let me know because, for personal reasons, I love this singer, especially the song "mon vieux".

                  @mikael08Hi Mikael

                  I'm back in this topic to tell you that after countless searches, I've finally found the cover of the song: la tendresse by Daniel Guichard. I have it on an audio cassette titled:
                  summer zouk 2 - mix zouk'love r'n'b. It is sung by Jacques d'Arbaud. Also on this cassette is Luc Léandry, who sings: sous le vent.

                  Apparently, it can also be found here
                  I'm really glad to have found it (finally, the empty case is already something, at least we know who it is!!)

                  Catch you later, Mika, and have a nice day!

                  @Petite canelleHello little Canelle and a big thank you for the info. I'm going to see if this tape is available for sale online!
                  Have a nice day and thanks again.

                  @mikael08No worries Mikael

                  Just for your information, it's a tape that I copied from an original CD, which had been brought back from Reunion Island.

                  There you go, if that can be helpful.

                  If you find it somewhere, please let me know because for now I can't find much. I think I'm going to check out the record stores instead.

                  Thanks and have a good afternoon too

                  bye bye a+++

                To give you an example, I've already heard the cover of "Belle" from Notre Dame de Paris in zouk.

                  I have a few of them in my archives but I need to find them and I'll keep you updated
                  I know that Jacky Rapon released an album called "Sérénité" that contained Zouk covers
                  I also know that there is a version of "Aïcha" in Zouk
                  The "12 Salopards" also did quite a few covers of French songs but the lyrics are quite daring, I think the name of the album was "Saloperie" or something like that and it's really lively, but there are mostly a lot of Zouk love
                  Cabrel
                  Marc Onana - La Maladie d'amour
                  Et si tu n'existais pas
                  So here I found a little clip from the 12 Salopards and another clip because I love them! lol
                  Well, I will send you more songs later because I'm out of ideas
