From the intimacy of his early songwriting days to the vitality of his live performances, Yakou brings a maturity and vulnerability that listeners will find both powerful and relatable.

Rather than chase trends, Yakou stays grounded in his truth, blending Afrocentric rhythms, acoustic melodies, and soulful vocals into something timeless. The album speaks like a conversation with a trusted friend—one that encourages, heals, and reminds you that you’re not alone in your journey.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering Yakou N’guessan, TCHAPALO is a must-listen—an album that doesn’t just entertain, but connects.
