Stéphane Doukouré

Stéphane Doukouré, better known as Douk Saga, was a pioneering figure in Ivorian music, credited with founding the coupé-décalé genre in the early 2000s. His innovative style combined flamboyant displays of wealth with a philosophy of sagacité, providing escapism during a tumultuous period in Ivorian history. Doukouré's influence continues to resonate in contemporary Ivorian pop culture despite his untimely death in 2006.
