Ivorian musicians Yodé and Siro are celebrating three decades of their music career. The duo, known for their zouglou style, formed part of the group Poussins Chocs in 1996. Yodé, whose real name is Dally Djédjé Gervais, and Siro, born Sylvain Decavailles Aba, have become household names in the music industry. They previously celebrated this milestone in Abidjan in August 2026 and will now share the experience with the Burkinabè public.
The upcoming concert in Ouagadougou is scheduled for December 12, 2026, at a venue to be announced. A press conference on October 28, 2026, outlined the plans for the anniversary celebration. San Ervé Coulibaly, representing the artists, stated that the event will promote art and artists from Burkina Faso.
