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. A 2010 GRAMMY winner, Dobet Gnahoré is well known for her jaw-dropping dance moves, powerful stage presence and richly emotional vocal style. Her music is filled with danceable grooves, electronic beats, nimble electric guitar lines and catchy melodic hooks. Gnahoré sings in multiple languages, including the diverse indigenous languages of her native land, as well as French and English, to better convey her optimistic message and reach broader audiences. Through her music, she pays tribute to the women of today and tomorrow and aims to use her words and image to empower a new generation of daring, strong and independent African women.This event is FREE and open to the public! No tickets are needed, but you can RSVP at the ticket link, on the FirstWorks website.
Come early for a dance workshop with Dobet (4:30-5:30 PM) and CD signing!
