Magic System

Magic System celebrates its 30th anniversary with an anniversary tour that stops at Zénith Nantes Métropole in Saint-Herblain on 14 March 2027. Born in Anoumabo, Abidjan, the quartet A’Salfo, Manadja, Goudé and Tino has shaped a sound rooted in zouglou, combining group vocals, everyday storytelling and rhythms designed for dancing, and over time has opened up to an African pop nourished by afro-dance, urban music and touches of coupé-décalé.

On stage, the band performs the classics that have traveled far — from 1er Gaou to Bouger Bouger and Magic in the Air — and revisits tracks drawn from Poisson d’avril, Un Gaou à Paris, Touté Kalé and Africainement vôtre. Round basslines, sizzling percussion, call-and-response backing vocals and irresistible hooks make up a live show focused on the collective and the call of the dancefloor. Thirty years after their beginnings, the zouglou DNA remains the driving force, still open to new textures, delivering a set that links their origins to today without losing the thread.
