The minute Grammy award-winning Dobet Gnahoré steps onto the stage, it is obvious she is something special, she exudes an inner strength and commanding presence that draws you in, even before she opens her mouth.

Dobet performs in seven African languages as well as French, defining her approach as “defiantly diverse, musically and linguistically”. Dobet is a vivacious bundle of energy, blessed with a powerful voice and infectious charisma.
