Everything we&#8217;ve come to love and continue to love about the lady is present (touching melodies, rich instrumentation that echoes West African traditions, buoyant, sunny vocals), but there are two additional elements that flesh out the experience: the first, musical, is the increased presence of electronics. The first, musical, is the increased presence of electronics. Momo Wang, one of Abidjan&#8217;s leading producers, has given the Gnahor\u00e9 &#8220;sound&#8221; a decidedly more modern edge, giving the pop side a more equal footing with its Afro brother, who remains as strong as ever. We love the subtlety with which Dr Wang has succeeded in bringing synthetic colours into Gnahor\u00e9&#8217;s usually acoustic universe. It&#8217;s a deft touch that never detracts from the artist&#8217;s authenticity, but takes him a pleasant step forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dobet Gnahor\u00e9 - &quot;Ayoka&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AzTobHonhFE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other, humanist and social, is the link between <em>Zouzou<\/em> (album and tour) and a project long thought up by Dobet Gnahor\u00e9: the creation of a socio-cultural centre for children and women in distress in Ivory Coast.
