With the vaccines available now, things are starting to improve. The confinement is ending. Bars can be open outside in the open air, but not inside … - Dobet Gnahoré

For me, every new album feels like a fresh beginning. It’s a new Dobet, a new story. I’m continuously growing and evolving in my music, infusing it with my emotions and experiences.

The album ‘Zouzou’ continues the tradition of featuring Ivory Coast artists in my albums. It’s mostly composed and arranged in the Ivory Coast by Dr. Wang, a young producer who worked with Malian R&B star Aya Nakamura. So, it’s a more modern, urban album that I plan to release in February 2024

Yes it's been a very difficult year. We haven't been able to do anything public. But it has allowed me to concentrate on this album, Couleur. And the next album too. Because I had the time to compose, I'm already working on the next one, and I have a lot of material.
