100% Coupé-Décalé | Souley (r)

The Sound of Resilience, Luxury, and Abidjan’s Nightlife.

Born in the early 2000s between the Ivorian diaspora in Paris and the vibrant streets of Abidjan, Coupé-Décalé is more than just a genre - it’s a philosophy of life.

What is Coupé-Décalé ?

Emerging during a time of political crisis, Coupé-Décalé served as a "musical therapy" for a nation. It was launched by the legendary Douk Saga and his "Jet Set" crew, who brought a new wave of hedonism, style, and pride to the dancefloor. The name itself reflects the spirit of the "hustle": Couper (to gain) and Décaler (to take off and enjoy).

The Legends & The New Era : From the "President" Douk Saga to the undisputed King of the movement, DJ Arafat, we play the hits that defined generations. We also bridge the gap with modern stars like Serge Beynaud, Bebi Philip, and the new "Rap Ivoire" fusion.

The Culture of "Le Boucan" : Discover the art of showing off. We dive into the world of Boukantiers (big spenders), Farot (showing style), and Travaillement (the theatrical showering of money on performers).

The "Atalakou" Energy : Feel the heat of the Ivorian "Maquis" (open-air bars). Our show captures the essence of the Atalakou—that raw, rhythmic shouting and praise-singing that turns every song into a personalized celebration.

From Concepts to the Streets : Every track comes with a "Concept"—a unique dance move. Whether it’s the Sagacité, the Kpangor, or the Grippe Aviaire, we bring the heat of Abidjan’s Rue Princesse directly to your speakers.

Coupé-Décalé is the pulse of West African youth. It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s unapologetically festive. It’s about turning struggle into a celebration. No stress, just "La Sagacité" !
