Ronald Rubinel is without a doubt one of the major figures in the zouk music scene in Martinique and Guadeloupe. He has a long history of not only making some of the best zouk albums since its international explosion in the 1980s, but he has also produced various projects and compilations that include Haitian music, African music, and modernized versions of traditional music from the French Antilles.

Ronald Rubinel is without a doubt one of the major figures in the zouk music scene in Martinique and Guadeloupe. He has a long history of not only making some of the best zouk albums since its international explosion in the 1980s, but he has also produced various projects and compilations that include Haitian music, African music, and modernized versions of traditional music from the French Antilles. Many of these have appeared on his label, Rubicolor. Mille et Une Nuits can easily be considered the best zouk album of 1998. The title track, based on the Arabian Thousand and One Nights, is solid zouk laced with the requisite Middle Eastern tinges. "Lili," "Ou Nice," and "Yoki" are all very deep zouk grooves with soul and R&B touches. In fact, much of the album has some soul influence, but it doesn't overshadow the essential zouk swing that Rubinel and his multi-star cast generates. The personnel are some of the very best zouk recording artists. The swing and sway quotient is pretty high throughout this well-produced album, making it a dancer's delight. All of Rubinel's albums are good, but this one is probably his best to date. This is a prime example of what zouk of the 1990s sounds like at its zenith. Highly recommended. ~ Mark Romano, Rovi
