Name: Coupé-Décalé is a type of club dance music popular in Côte d’Ivoire. It was developed in Paris by Ivorian DJs and eventually brought back to Côte d’Ivoire, where it became very popular. Some say that it represents the desire of a young generation to bring more party, carefreeness and openness to the world into a country shaped by its unstable political situation and dominated by patriotic and military music. “Coupé-Décalé” means something like “cheated somebody and then run away”, which is generally interpreted to stand for famous Coupé-Décalé artists “tricking” France and Western Europe to successful and famous there and then returning to Côte d’Ivoire.
