Manou Gallo
»the African Queen of Bass« ~ Bootsy Collins
Our favorite »Afro Groove Queen« Manou Gallo comes back with a 5th album Aliso, split into 2 EPs: Aliso, Vol. 1 released on nov., 2021 and Aliso, Vol. 2 coming out soon.
She celebrates in these new tracks all the african artists who inspired her, such as Féla Kuti, Manu Dibango, Franco, Ernesto Djé Djé and Marcellin Yacé.
»I am a free woman«, launches Manou Gallo, powerful bass player and Ivorian singer wearing a magnificent Afro cut … It is difficult not to succumb to an impregnated Afrobeat "gumbo" made in Ivory Coast.
In 1997, when she arrived in Europe, she became the bassist of Zap Mama, Marie Daulne's band, and performed on the biggest European and American stages.
Since 2003, she has been leading her own bands and participating in numerous other projects (Manou Gallo Women Band, Groove Orchestra, Acoustic Africa and Music Machine).
