Music/Afropop As an icon of the Ivory Coast’s futuristic Afropop, Dobet Gnahoré knows how to put her audience in a trance. Complex percussion patterns give way to driving dance beats, guitars and synthesizers expand into every corner of the sound panorama at whose centre the Ivorian artist herself stands – elegant and unrestrained. With mandingo melodies, rumbas, jazz and rock she provides some profound insights into the musical traditions of West Africa, while electronic sound escapades transport her interdisciplinary artwork into a futuristic domain.
