YaniSs Odua

Yaniss Odua brings his reggae—balanced between roots and dancehall—to La Laiterie in Strasbourg on January 14, 2027. Based between Martinique and mainland France, he has forged a style that blends Caribbean pulses and Jamaican influences, carried by lyrics in French and Creole. On stage, his flow alternates between melodic singing and the energetic toasting of an MC, backed by a live band shaped for contemporary riddims and long, rolling basslines.

His repertoire addresses everyday life, social realities and a strong attachment to the Caribbean. He draws on songs that span eras, from conscious reggae to dancehall vibrations, without losing the thread of clear and direct songwriting. From his beginnings in sound systems to his latest productions, he has developed a modern musical line that remains faithful to reggae aesthetics while opening them to contemporary arrangements.

In Strasbourg he performs in a live format that suits him well: a generous set, spacious grooves, memorable choruses, and a way of circulating energy between stage and audience. It’s a reggae-dancehall event that bets on authenticity and the effectiveness of live performance.
