Description
Between Kizomba and Afro-Zouk, Fode Baro's new album is made 100% for dancefloors. Including the hits Djamila, Denoncer and Pourquoi Me Quitter featuring Philip Monteiro, the sound wizard of Dakar. Based in Paris since 1999 a young Fode Baro goes to school during the day and at night, hangs out in the local African artistic community blossoming in the 90s. FodÃ© then meets producer Ibrahima Sylla who produces IsmaÃ«l Lo and Baaba Maal at the time, and together they release Yirikiki, FodÃ©'s first Mandingo Afro Zouk (expression he claims to be his own) hit that automatically grants him success throughout the continent and gets him an award from radio Africa #1 in Gabon in 1999. After his success in Africa, Fode now wants to conquer Europe and share his conception of music with the world â€“ a dancing beat but words to think about. After YanfantÃ©, released in Africa in 2009 then in Europe in 2010, Fode is back in August 2013 with La VÃ©ritÃ©. If he speaks of love in several songs like Djamila, ChÃ©rie, or in the forthcoming hit Pourquoi me quitter (featuring Philip Monteiro), Fode Baro shows also that he deserves the nicknames his fans (and detractors) gave him â€“ "FodÃ© the Agitator". In La Paix or UnitÃ© Nationale, he asks to the people to unite for a better life and in DÃ©noncer, on a hot beat, he exposes the politics abandoning his country, Guinea, one of the poorest and most corrupted of Africa.
