Dobet Gnahoré, an African superstar and 2010 Grammy winner, is well-known for her jaw-dropping dance moves, powerful stage presence and richly emotional vocal style. With her sixth album Couleur, Gnahoré breaks with her past acoustic styles to create a fiery album filled with danceable grooves, electronic beats, nimble electric guitar lines and catchy melodic hooks.
While Africa has blessed the world with many recognized female artists, Dobet Gnahoré has proven herself to be a truly special talent. Hailing from Côte d’Ivoire, Dobet is a virtuosic singer, dancer, percussionist, and songwriter who has taken the modern Afropop sounds of her country in exciting new directions.
Her most recent album, Couleur, draws its energy from the creative fire and passion that Dobet brings to all her work. The lyrics are simple and direct, with universal themes such as the power of women, words of motivation and encouragement when your spirits are low, cries for redemption when you don’t live up to your ideals and struggles with love and jealousy.
Couleur solidifies Dobet Gnahorés position as one of Africa’s brightest stars and moststriking talents.
