Kadans is a French Creole music genre, which started off in Haïti and developed in the French islands. In the 1970s, a wave of Haïtian immigrants to Martinique brought with them the kadans, a sophisticated form of music that helped unite all the former French colonies of the Caribbean by combining their cultural influences. Derived from jazz music. The group Exile One is credited with the formation of this new music in the middle of the 20th century.
