Following Coubli, his acclaimed debut album, Donald Dogbo, Radio Canada revelation 2024-2025, is back in the spotlight with Yako, the first single from his upcoming new album Segui So. This deeply jazzy track is an ethereal and profound instrumental that blends Donald’s complex drumming with the highly inspired trumpet playing of Remi Cormier, also a Radio Canada revelation in 2023-2024.
Yako is an Ivorian expression meaning ‘grievances’. The song is a tribute to artists who lost their lives during the pandemic. It also honors the memory of illegal immigrants who lost their lives at sea while attempting to leave their country by boat. Finally, it pays tribute to all those who have lost loved ones.
