CôTE D'IVOIRE

Miko the Kitty: Zoblazo is a music style and dance that developed in the city of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire during the 1990s. Zoblazo music is a mixture of traditional rhythms from southern Côte d’Ivoire which uses modern instrumentation such as synthesizers and electronic percussion. Often danced to with a white handkerchief, Zoblazo is characterized for its tunes full of hope and enjoyment of life.

Freddy Meiway, the pioneer of Zoblazo music, has released a series of Zoblazo records from as soon as 1989. Meiway is known for having integrated several folk rhythms from both Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire and popularizing the mix ever after.
