A major Zouk concert called “Génération Zouk” is scheduled for November 3rd at the Palais de la Culture in Abidjan, featuring around thirty renowned artists including Éric Virgal, Monique Séka, Thierry Cham, Leila Chicot, Hardy Diboula, Jean Yves Cebon, and Jean-Luc Guanel.

Organized by “L2NK Production”, a Paris-based entity, the “Génération Zouk” concert, making its debut in Abidjan, aims to establish a concept that keeps the spirit of Zouk alive by offering a series of concerts each year in Martinique, Guadeloupe, the United States, Paris, and more.

“We expect around 1,500 people who are enthusiasts of good music in general, and Zouk in particular,” explained cultural operator, Ahouassa Serge Rodrigue, to Abidjan.net on Tuesday.

Continuing, Mr. Ahouassa, who is in charge of the concert operations, conveyed that this concept, coming to Africa and Côte d’Ivoire for the first time, will present music lovers with the “cream” of prominent Zouk artists.

“The choice of artists this year is a boon. Firstly, these various names have significantly marked the history of Zouk with hits that have traveled the world,” he opined.

“Abidjan is fortunate to host a concert, a generational event for those who have lived through and continue to experience it,” concluded Mr. Ahouassa, urging music lovers not to miss out on this unparalleled show.

“Génération Zouk” is a concept that was established a little over 10 years ago by “L2NK Production”, a Paris-based organization. This concept is hence aimed at keeping the Zouk flame burning globally.
