F.G. Bulber Auditorium
Lake Charles, LA

Her warm and powerful voice and the polyrhythms of her band make her audiences both happy to be listening and wanting to dance. Dobet’s compositions encompass the Pan-African styles of Mandingue melodies to Congolese rumba, Ivory Coast Ziglibiti to Cameroon Bikoutsi and Ghanian High-Life to Zulu choirs. The sanza, the balafon, the calebasse and bongos are brought in to support the guitar, the vocal backup and Dobet’s voice. She sings in a range of African languages including Bété, Fon, Baoule, Lingala, Malinke, Mina or Bambara. She will bring a world of music to Lake Charles.
