Cote d'Ivoire: The Music of Espoir 2000

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Music

Abena writes about the Ivorian music group Espoir 2000 [1]: “I've been listening to one of my favorite Ivorian music groups Espoir 2000 (Hope 2000). Their 2006 album Gloire et Dieu (God and Glory) is not only laden with infectious ‘zouglou’ tracks but with lyrics full of wisdom and a little prescience.”
