One of African music's most exciting young talents during recent years, Dobet Gnahoré comes from the Ivory Coast. Her songs are lavishly beautiful and irresistibly danceable. Funky, elegant, future-oriented music inspired by tradition.
Dobet alternates effortlessly between deeply emotional ballads and funky, danceable tunes and masters a broad range of African musical syles. She is a soulful tornado of song, dance and drum rhythms, and she moves across the stage with such a vengeance that her dreadlocks trail in the air behind her. ... Gnahoré’s voice has an extraordinary personality- one second she’s a diva, belting out R&B over a soft-rock backing of acoustic guitar and percussion, and the next she’s telling us how it is, ripping the mic right into her hands (or it sounds like she is, anyway) and preaching lyrics directly out of the stereo. - Bitch Magazine
