GRAMMY Winner Dobet Gnahoré Releases a Powerful New Single and Music Video

Fiery and funky, “Gni” is upbeat contemporary Afropop at its finest. The song and album were produced by Momo Wang, aka Dr. Wang (Aya Nakamura), one of Africa’s hottest talents.

The colorful music video for “Gni” was partially filmed at Lagune Aguien, a lake on the outskirts of Abidjan and in a nearby film studio. The video features scenes of Dobet dressed as a river goddess swimming in a pool of chocolate, a symbol of abundance and luxury. White-masked male dancers splash out their steps in bright pink water, then the waters turn orange for a group of female dancers dressed in blue bathing suits.

On “Gni” Dobet sings of the power of water to nurture and inspire: “Near this river, love lives / Love flows like water / Let our hearts be filled with sweet thoughts near the river / The atmosphere is calm and peaceful / Silence is infinite / The imagination becomes fertile / Negativity is impossible / Love lives there.”
