Gervais Koffi is a superb bass player and
vocalist, a great performer and a magnificent dancer who
breathes life into any audience. He has proven to be the ideal
person to introduce the music of West African and the French
Caribbean to Australian audiences.
Gervais Koffi and the African Diaspora present
a visual show with African dancing and percussion segments,
Latin and French Caribbean influences (Zouk music).
Together with a multicultural band hailing
from Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mauritius, Kenya, Indonesia, Japan
and Australia, Gervais steams through a carefully crafted
mixture of originals and covers of African classics.
Within this framework the band gets down, gets
funky and solo very well without indulgence. Usually after the
third song the dance floor remains busy till the end of the
show.
