Founded in 1986 by the members of Experience 7, Guy Houllier and Yves Honore, and composed by three Guadeloupians (Joëlle Ursull, Christiane Obydol, Dominique Zorobabel), the group knew very soon the success from his first album Sové Lanmou (composed by Guy Houllier and Yves Honoré, who are respectively Christiane Obydol's brother and brother-in-law). Joëlle Ursull left the group and proceeded to a solo career, culminating in second place in the 1990 Eurovision performing "White and Black Blues", composed by Serge Gainsbourg and Sylvain Augier.
In the early 1990s, Jane Fostin (came from a large musical family in Guadeloupe) was recruited to continue the musical adventure. Therefore, the success of the group overstepped the Caribbean community and the song "Maldon' (la musique dans la peau)" remained number 1 in the Top 50 for nine weeks in 1990. The group carried out some tours around the world, and produced its albums Sa ké cho and Clin d'œil. Group's members also participated in Maxime Le Forestier's album, Passer ma route Julien Clerc, "Utile" and in the soundtrack of Asterix On vit ensemble et Au Revoir.
In 1995, the group had a crisis situation, and BMG released a first best of. Jane Fostin finally left the group to launch into a solo career. Her first solo single "La Taille de ton amour", cover of Deborah Cox's "Who do you love" was a success in France, where it peaked at #9, followed by 4 albums with sonorities R&B including in 2006 an album with the Zouk hit single 'Pas de Glace' in duet with Medhy Custos.

Zouk Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faktè la ja rivè
(The postman is already there!)
Woy an soti lévé
(Ooh I just got out of bed)
An kay wè sa'y potè ban mwen la wo oo
(Let's see what he brought to me oohooh)
(There's nothing that good)
Pa ni ayen ki mové
(There is nothing that wrong)
Sa pé alé
(It's not too bad)
An pri an trafik la
(I'm stuck in the traffic jam)
Séten an ké en rita
(I certainly be late now)
Tou lé jou sé menm babyé la
(It's the same thing every day)
Han Han, pou évadé mwen
(Ooh, to escape from here)
Mizik la ké détanm mwen
(Music will relax me)
Ouvè Radyo la
(Let's turn on the radio)
Ka'w fè sa ka maché?
(" Hello, how are you doing?...")
Sé woulé mwen kay woulé
I'm just driving again and again!
Ka'w fè sa ka maché?
(" Hello, how are you doing?...")
An té ké pissimé zouké

An pa té ké jen pansé
(I would never have thought)
Tin tout sa moun an vil la
(There'd be so many people in town)
Chalè Komansé monté
(It's getting hotter and hotter!)
Han Han, a pa ti maché
(Ooh, it took such a walk)
A pa ti kouri an kouri
(It took such a run)
Pou mwen pé manjé
(For me to eat today)
Lè mwen fini roulé
(When the drive is over)
An la byen fatigé
(Here I am so tired)
An kay pran fos an misik la

Wo o o janmè wè sa
(Ooh, I never saw that)
Pé ké sipoté vi la
(I will not bear this life)
San tempo la
(The rhythm of its tempo)
Ka'w fè sa ka maché
Sé woulé mwen kay woulé
Ka'w fè sa ka maché

The lyrics of Zouk Machine's song Pisimé Zouké talk about everyday situations and mundane activities. In the first verse, the singer refers to the postman arriving and bringing nothing necessary or exciting to her. However, this does not seem to bother her much, as everything is going okay. The second verse talks about being stuck in traffic and how music can make a difference. The singer suggests turning on the radio to relax and escape from the traffic jam. During the conversation with someone over the phone, the singer reveals her preference for dancing on Zouk rather than wasting time driving. In the last verse, the singer complains about how exhausting a day could be, especially when there is no rhythm to it. Overall, the song talks about the monotony of life and how music can help in adding some rhythm to it and make it more bearable.
