I actually bought a video from Banyan Production house, owned by the legendary Christopher Laird, about Kassav in Trinidad in 1998. Before i was born but I love Kassav( French Caribbean music in general) and it was great. Jocelyn Beroad is one of the prettiest women I have ever seen.

Kassav was one of the best 3 bands in our region, French and English Caribbean, one of the best in the world.

RIP Jacob! You left your mark.
