Les génies vous parlent

Zoblazo is a high-energy dance music from Côte d'Ivoire popularized by the singer-producer Meiway in the early 1990s. It blends coastal Ivorian rhythms with the guitar finesse of Ghanaian highlife, the fluid drive of Congolese soukous, and the polished sheen of francophone Caribbean zouk. Characterized by bright major-key melodies, call-and-response vocals, propulsive 4/4 grooves around 110–130 BPM, and brisk percussion breaks, zoblazo invites collective participation—famously with dancers waving white handkerchiefs in coordinated moves. Horn stabs, bubbling bass lines, soukous-style guitar figures, and modern keyboards/samplers round out its festive, extroverted sound.
