Manou Gallo 被美国传奇歌手/贝斯手 Bootsy Collins 誉为“非洲的贝斯女王”，《福布斯》杂志（非洲版） 2013 年将其列入“全球十大最具影响力非洲贝斯手”，她是其中唯一的女性。

出生于科特迪瓦西部的小镇迪沃，Manou 8 岁时在一次村庄典礼上展现的过人音乐天赋让村民们为之震惊；13 岁时，她作为一名舞者、歌手和多乐器演奏者，受邀加入科特迪瓦标志性乐队之一 Woya，并在非洲各地进行过长时间的巡演。在乐队里，她遇见了对她而言如父亲一般的导师——音乐家、制作人 Marcellin Yacé，并在他的鼓励和支持下开始学习电贝斯。

1997 年，Manou 来到欧洲，成为了 Marie Daulne 著名的世界音乐乐队 Zap Mama 的贝斯手，开始在欧美顶级的舞台上频频亮相，并随后移居比利时布鲁塞尔。

自 2003 年开始，Manou Gallo 领导或参与了众多的音乐项目，包括 Manou Gallo Women Band、Groove Orchestra、Acoustic Africa 和 Music Machine 等。她也与许多赫赫有名的音乐家同台演出，包括美国传奇歌手/贝斯手 Bootsy Collins、喀麦隆著名爵士歌手/萨克斯演奏家 Manu Dibango 和九度格莱美奖获得者/贝斯手 Christian Mcbride 等，其中 Mcbride 还参与了她最新的专辑 Afro Bass Fusion。2022 年，在贝宁举办的非洲最佳乐器演奏家音乐节（Festival MIA）特别设置了一场向她致敬的演出，并向其颁发了“非洲最佳乐手”奖。

于 2023 年发行的 Afro Bass Fusion 是 Manou 的第五张专辑。在这张专辑中，她与我们分享了一段穿越非洲的节奏之旅，从尼日利亚的 Afrobeat，到扎伊尔的 Rumba，再到喀麦隆的 Makossa 和非洲 Salsa……她带着科特迪瓦的 Abodan 舞步和复合节奏，在爵士融合、放克、都市音乐与说唱之间恣意游走。她将贝斯放在这张专辑的核心位置，它的节奏和旋律贯穿始终。透过这张精彩的专辑，她也向那些为她带来无数启发的伟大音乐家们致敬：Fela Kuti、Manu Dibango、Franco Luambo、Aïcha Kone、Soro N'Gana、Marcellin Yacé……

凭借出色的舞台表现力和令人难以置信的精湛技艺，Manou 现已是当之无愧的非洲-欧洲音乐领军女性和世界上最杰出的贝斯手之一。

Manou Gallo is a Belgian-Ivorian instrumentalist who has been living in Belgium, more precisely in Brussels, for 25 years. 

Multi-instrumentalist, singer and dancer in Woya, one of the emblematic groups of the Ivorian Coast, Manou Gallo has travelled across Africa for long tours. In 1997, upon her arrival in Europe, she became the bassist of Zap Mama, Marie Daulne's band, and performed on the biggest European and American stages. 

Since 2003, she has led her own groups and participated in many other projects (Manou Gallo Women Band, Groove Orchestra, Acoustic Africa and Music Machine). She has also worked with Bootsy Collins, Manu Dibango and Christian Mcbride, with whom she duetted for her new album Afro Bass Fusion. 

Through her stage presence and incredible technique, she has become one of the leading women of this innovative and appreciated Afro-European music all over the world. She is recognized by her peers as an outstanding bass virtuoso and instrumentalist. She has just received a prize in Benin for the best African instrumentalist 2022. 

In 2023, Manou Gallo released her fifth album Afro Bass Fusion, in which she shares with us a rhythmic journey through Africa between Nigerian afrobeat, Zairean rumba, Cameroonian Makossa and African salsa. She juggles with Abodan and polyrhythmic rhythms from the Ivorian Coast, jazz fusion, funk, urban music and rap. Manou Gallo puts her bass at the center of this album. The rhythms and melody of the sound of her bass rock all along. It pays tribute to musicians who inspired her such as Fela Kuti, Manu Dibango, Franco Luambo, Aïcha Kone, Soro N'Gana or Marcellin Yacé.
