Zouzou is the seventh studio album from the Ivorian queen of Afro-pop, Dobet Gnahoré. This new offering, which has more of an electro flavour than before, is unique in that it is part of a humanist approach that the artist has been dreaming of for a very long time. Now that all the logistical, legal and technical elements are in place, the release of Zouzou, both as an album and as a world tour, will form the basis of a vast socio-cultural project in her native Ivory Coast. I caught up with the luminous artist while she was on the road in the USA to talk about the details of this project, as well as Zouzou‘s music, of course.
