Mario de Volcy,  a music insider and artist, said St-Victor’s longtime bandmates Jean Elie “Cubano” Telfort and Loubert Chancy confirmed the death. St-Victor had struggled with an illness, which was not disclosed. 

Born in 1945, St-Victor became an iconic artist for his long list of achievements, primarily between the 1970s and early 1990s.

Among them, his performances with konpa groups Shleu Shleu — which later became Skah Shah — Bazouka, Nu Shah, Miami All Stars and PNP. 

St-Victor was part of the Frénétiques before joining the Shleu Shleu, and had participated in a choir.

Shleu Shleu’s manager Hugues “Dada” Jackaman began to call him Zouzoul, and the name stuck with him forever.
