Manou Gallo

Manou Gallo, the virtuosic bassist and singer from Ivory Coast, has joined forces with Joel Rabesolo for a project that blends Afrobeat, funk, and jazz. Their music is a high-energy celebration of rhythm and melody, driven by Gallo's powerful bass lines and Rabesolo's intricate guitar work. This collaboration is a testament to their shared passion for pushing musical boundaries and creating a sound that is both authentic and innovative.
