Collection: Coupe-Decale

Coupe-Decale is a vibrant and energetic genre of dance music that originated in Côte d'Ivoire in the early 2000s. Known for its infectious rhythms, pulsating beats, and call-and-response vocal patterns, this genre has become a cultural phenomenon across West Africa and beyond. Coupe-Decale often features a fusion of traditional African sounds with modern electronic elements, creating a unique sonic landscape that's impossible to resist. The genre has spawned several sub-genres, including Rap Ivoire, which incorporates hip-hop influences and often addresses social issues, and Ndombolo, a more sensual and slower-paced variation that emphasizes intricate dance moves. With its upbeat tempo and catchy melodies, Coupe-Decale continues to evolve, inspiring new generations of artists and dancers while maintaining its roots in Ivorian culture.
