By the beginning of the 21st century the dominant genre of disco in the world was Soukous largely due to the massive international popularity of artists like DR. SAKIS. The appeal of DR. SAKIS is in the strength of his straightforward and driving style of Soukous with a mix of Zouk and House. Combined with his obsession with female beauty and energy - his live performances and wildly popular promotional videos blatantly celebrated the alluring sexuality of the Soukous dance. It is very easy to underestimate the level of popularity and influence of DR. SAKIS. Soukous will continue as a developmental force for decades more with the DR. SAKIS obsessions further intensifying!
