Cutting-edge: Douk Saga's secrets revealed by his producer

Twenty years after Douk Saga's death, producer David Monsoh reflects on the origins of coupé-décalé, an Ivorian musical movement. He recounts a meeting in a nightclub in Montreuil, near Paris, with a group of young Ivorians including Douk Saga, which was pivotal. Monsoh decided to formalize the movement by encouraging Douk Saga to sing, despite initial reluctance, leading to the creation of coupé-décalé. The music combined Congolese sounds, nouchi dedications, dance, and celebration, with Douk Saga as the leader.
