About the artist
Born in Abidjan in March 2022, Djaouli Entertainment is a DJ collective leading an alternative music scene based on Hip-Hop & Electronic Music. The word "Djaouli" comes from a local street language call Nouchi and it is used to qualify a person who's full of energy, stubborn, who likes to party and have fun. The initiative was formed by three DJ's (Mask On, Seny.D & Dalight) and their desire for freedom, as in Abidjan as a DJ there is a huge lack of scenes one can play what he wants. There is a lack of spaces where a DJ has the freedom to express his art, his curation and his artistic personality, due to the mainstream music high demand everywhere. The main goal of the Djaouli Entertainment scene is to allow DJs to come and play what they want in order to have more confidence in their ears and to satisfy the crowd with a lot of musical diversity.
In just one year, with their famous and boiling "BÔRÔ DE DJAOULI" parties (which means Bag of Djaoulis), they were able to accomplish that will and make unique parties. They are recognizable by their versatility, the underground atypical and beautiful places, the DJ'S, the energy and the crowd. The people attending are a mix of different races, cultures and social classes, something that is rare in Abidjan's underground scene.
