So

Description

Yaya Minté was born in Pikine, on the outskirts of Dakar, and arrived in France at the age of 8. From his early years, he kept an uncommon phrasing, weaned on the lullabies his grandmother hummed to him. As a young adult, Yaya Minté developed this style by performing in the streets of Paris. Until he crossed paths with the label Think Zik! Imany entrusted him with the opening acts for her Olympia and Casino de Paris shows. Yaya Minté's universe evolves between soul and pop and touches the heart and soul directly. The media often compares him to Ben Harper and Ed Sheeran. While Yaya Minté's stage career was beginning and leading him to play with artists such as Anwar, Imany, and Faada Freddy, COVID abruptly stopped him in his tracks. Starting from scratch, he worked step by step on his first album, So. The result is vibrant music that blends soul, pop, and African roots, carried by positive vibes.
