Ivorian music star, Orentchy, is set to visit Ghana for a series of meetings with officials of MUSIGA as well as Ghanaian musicians such as A.B. Crentsil, Rex Omar, Slim Buster, Ofori Amponsah, for possible collaborations. Orentchy?s music, which has thrilled millions of Francophones, consists of a blend of Nzema and Appolo folklore, producing a unique tune laced with Zo, which is derived from the Ivorian Zoblazo.
The popular star has also created soft tunes with a technique, originated by his big brother and predecessor, Freddie Meiway.
Orentchy, who sings in English, French, Nzema, Yoruba and Swahili, combines the Zoblazo with funky rhythms, creating a new composition which often leaves his audience cheering and rushing to the dancing floor.
He has a number of albums to his credit. His second album, El Dorado, which was recorded in one of the best recording studios in France under the supervision of famous Malian flutist, Boncana Maiga and the French/Brazilian musician, Robson Galvino, is considered a masterpiece.
Orentchy came to the music scene in 1999 when his first album, titled, Kinlin Beni? was released.
This album, which was also arranged by Boncana Maiga, gave him an opportunity to represent La Cote d?Ivoire at a grand UNESCO concert in France, in May, 2000, as well as Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany.
