About the artist
Ernesto Djédjé
Ernesto Djedje, the Ivorian guitar virtuoso who brought a funky twist to African pop music, is a name that deserves to be on everyone's radar. Hailing from the vibrant music scene of 1970s Côte d'Ivoire, Djedje's infectious blend of traditional Ivorian rhythms with the groovy sounds of funk and jazz quickly made him a household name in West Africa. With his trademark afro and flashy stage presence, Djedje was more than just a musician - he was a showman. His live performances were known for their energetic dance routines and electric guitar solos that could make even the most stoic listener tap their feet. But don't let his flashy exterior fool you - Djedje was a master musician with a deep understanding of traditional Ivorian music. His intricate guitar work and soulful vocals drew inspiration from Ivorian folk songs and griot traditions, creating a sound that was both accessible and authentic. Despite his undeniable talent, Djedje never quite achieved the international stardom that his music deserved. But for those in the know, his albums like "Zibote" and "Le Roi du Ziglibithy" are essential listening for anyone interested in exploring the rich tapestry of African music. Sadly, Djedje's life was cut short in 1983, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire musicians to this day. So do yourself a favor and dive into the world of Ernesto Djedje - you won't be disappointed.
