The news of Afro-dancefloor releases is punctuated this week by Meryl, Scridge, Sandrine Nnanga, Toofan, Jacob Desvarieux, Aya Nakamura and Singuila.
The Martiniquaise Meryl arrives in the big leagues with Beni
Meryl is already one of the most influential authors and composers in the rap scene of the last three years. Originally from Martinique, she is credited with the titles Niska Networks , Mwaka Moon Kalash and Damso or Chocolate Lartiste. Meryl is also present on the latest projects of Soprano, SCH or Shay. At just 20 years old, Meryl has already proved herself and the title Beni is certainly that of her coronation at the head of the female rap game . Note that Meryl sings in Creole in the image of Kalash.
Cameroonian Sandrine Nnanga sign For Life
The singer from southern Cameroon, Sandrine Nnanga, known for her dynamism and energy, is back. She took her first steps in the song with her church choir while she was still a teenager. It was truly in 2011 that his musical career took a professional turn, recruited as a chorister of the Macase group before taking one of the available lead positions . There will be several concerts and collaborations with artists such as Manu Dibango, Sam Fan Thomas, Jack Jehim, SanzyViani, André Manga, Lornoar, Krotal, and Danièle Eog on national and international stages. In parallel with her musical career, Sandrine Nnanga continued her graduate studies in accounting and business management. In 2016, after graduation, she decided to devote herself entirely to her artistic career. A good idea For life .
Toofan and Jacob Desvarieux take over Ou Lé
It is a very surprising combination that of Toofan and Jacob Desvarieux. That of the palms of the seafront of Lome to that of the sweets of the West Indies. The result is Ou Lé ! A resolutely Métis and Creole title, taken from the legendary repertoire of the Kassav 'group, which is just as much. It is Afrozouk sung in French, Creole and Ewe (one of the main languages of Togo). The clip that accompanies the release of this new version of Ou Lé , does not lack color and gives a summer atmosphere. Toofan, whose album Conquistador is still available in the bins, is currently on a European tour. They will be in the first part of the Kassav 'concert at the Defense Arena on May 11 with the Grand Méchant Zouk.
Aya Nakamura plays her gangsta in Pookie
Teased just two days before its release, the Pookie video, one of the flagship titles of Aya Nakamura's second album, has finally arrived. And the least we can say is that the Malian d'Aulnay-sous-Bois has moved up a gear. Directed by Vladimir Boudnikoff, the clip shows Aya Nakamura playing in a sublime castle, surrounded by dancers with eclectic styles. Between haute couture, corridors with endless frescoes, gilding and royal suites. The message is clear. Aya Nakamura shows us that she is the queen of the moment. In just 24 hours, Pookie is the # 1 trends on YouTube and one of the most watched streaming titles.
Guyanese Scridge will walk on the Moon
S cridge is an artist from Guyana who lives in Rennes. Aged 24, he claims his musical influences in French chanson such as Renaud or Jean-Jacques Goldman. It is at 17 that he embarks on the music without really making a wave. Combining urban pop culture with French variety, he traces his path through the years highlighting sounds inspired by Africa and overseas giving an amazing mix and rich in flavors. This is the case with his latest single The Moon which is a kizomba title on a melancholy and effective melody.
