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.

The lyrics of Zouk Machine's song "Zouk Machine" speak of a lover who promises their partner that they will always have the power to make their own decisions, but there will come a time when they will need to rely on each other. The singer asks their lover not to let them down, and to remember that they will always be there for them. The chorus repeats the lines "Come baby come, come come baby come", which can be interpreted as an invitation to their lover to join them and dance to the rhythm of the Zouk.
The song's lyrics are infused with Caribbean soul and rhythm, which is a trademark of Zouk Machine's music. The band was founded in Guadeloupe in the mid-1980s, and soon became one of the most popular Zouk bands in the Caribbean and French-speaking countries. The lyrics of "Zouk Machine" are sung in Creole French, which is a regional language spoken in many parts of the Caribbean.
