Zambe, an atypical talent Born October 20, 1989 in Togo, Zambé is a multi-talented artist. Songwriter, performer, guitarist, pianist and percussionist, Zambé has developed bewitching music, inspired by traditional African and mixed rhythms and songs with modern influences. This fusion of sounds and rhythms brings to his compositions a rare originality tinged with an undeniable authenticity. Koffi Efa-aboe OKOUMA of his real name, Zambé has a surprising voice charged with emotions. Sometimes clear and sometimes softer, violent or broken depending on the emotion conveyed by the melody he interprets. An exceptional percussionist, Zambé is an undisputed master of the talking tam-tam commonly called ATOUPANI, played all over the coast of the Gulf of Guinea and which was once reserved for initiates. Zambé through his music sings to us the colors of the soul. He sings in Ikposso, Ewe, French and English.
