ALL BLACK

The ALL BLACK group was born on November 11, 2011 and since then has walked many paths and managed to conquer a fairly large world from younger to older men and women.
If today the group enjoys considerable notoriety in the Ivorian music scene and can ensure better tomorrows, let us remember that this is not fortuitous. Let’s walk through these few lines that try to retrace a story and flirt with the horizon that is offered.

I- Academic background

All from modest families, they will be educated like all the Ivorian children of their age and of the social category which is imposed, this one being punctuated by an insistence as well family as extra-family, on a value to recognize them Primarily based on academic achievement. Like any concerned child, they will have an admirable and promising school career. They will not be immune to the causes of dropping out of school as we know them in the tropics, the determination to succeed and the recognition of value will not suffice to reach the end of the tunnel. However, it is almost astonishing to note the ardent desire of these young people to express themselves, they will each choose at their level a voice (music) which will testify their value and they will make a passion, this one Will be at the origin of their meeting. The talent at this level is undeniable and one could say without risk of error that it is innate even if it would be abusive to associate a genetic reason with a human know-how; Indeed they are for some descendant of artist musician and not of the least; LOMBARDO whose mother was a talented musician recognized for several years alongside big names like AÏCHA KONE, ALPHA BLONDY … and AIM DIX whose father (BOMOU Mamadou) is still present on the stage and continues to demonstrate an artistic talent recognized at the Beyond the borders of the Ivory Coast and which earned him the nickname “master of the word”.
In addition, they will be recognized as having a relatively advanced level; LOMBARDO, AIMDIX and WALLY at the level of the terminal class, and MICKY who just obtained his license in Law and accepted for a master. Keep up, on the path of their musical success they take the path of training, AIM DIX enrolled in 2nd year of music and candidate for the baccalaureate 2015, LOMBARDO and WALLY idem, as for MICKY continue is only an obvious.
II- Creation of the group

The group originally consists of two friends of childhood that are: LOMBARDO and MICKY then will come successively WALLY and AIM DIX; The group will see the light on November 11, 2011.
Before forming, it should be noted that each one at his or her level gave to the music the talent that it showed them but without opting for a professional career, testifies the fact to LOMBARDO which was in a group R’N’b and which had Abandoned when this was done seriously in order to stay in step with the desire of the parents, no one can escape his destiny he will catch up and choose to professionalize his talent, so he will associate with his friend (MICKY) RAP just for the fun and wanted later to make it professional, a group had just formed. But as the saying goes, “to beings made to meet and produce great results, chance eventually mingle”, WALLY and AIM DIX co-opted afterwards will integrate the group and ALL BLACK will emerge. We will return in more detail to the necessity of being called ALL BLACK.
III- Music Style

The group is the subject of various talents which makes them versatile, these 4 young people able to do both very good Rn’B, heavy rap, cut off, ragga, reggae … could be classified in the category world Music; They will call themselves their Black Music style.

IV- Actions

The group once formed will not waste time and will get to work, several singles will be born starting in 2011, among others, story to 3, tribute to Mom, black cat, I would like, free style the boss, the Success … etc. The group will begin to make mention of him, especially with their tube entitled HISTORY A 3 which will reveal them to the general public, they will cause admiration at each pass. In the absence of financial resources and professional support, the group will use the means to be heard; The quality of their product will make them confused by the public to French groups, SINGUILA, CORNEILLE … etc. They will understand the usefulness of an active communication but will not wait for the means to come down from the sky, their firm will with a serious fault will push them to work, this anger will arouse the admiration of more than one and the Stakeholders will step in to propel them to the stage that their talent deserves.

They will make their first clip with black cat, faces will be associated then and the artists will make talk about them everywhere, they will make the front on renowned radios across the country, television channels (RTI 1 & 2, NTV2 ) Will be looping their video clips, social networks such youtube will record in just a few months more than 25 000 views to meet today to approximately 50 000. The professional career really had to start and the group chained performances ranging from events Young people across the country passing through private VIP evenings, public events; They will dare by organizing events themselves to measure their notoriety and their ability to be professional; One morning (attoban riviera, beginning of 2012, about 250 PEOPLE, all young people), a show case (yopougon, 16 MARCH 2013, 500 people, still young people) …. The group seen as the new showcase of young people will no longer be on the sidelines and will be chosen to cover the magazine SWAGG MAG n ° 2 and n ° 11; We can cite an effective and very appreciated participation:

The tickets will tear like pieces of bread, the room will be packed and will record the presence of their respective relatives.

At the request of the general public “djonnétalé” will be the subject of a video clip, the talent is confirmed.

V- Artistic and target influences

With an open heart, the group places on the fact of not having been directly influenced artistically, each would have come with its own references and the group once constituted will seek more to converge the individual know-how to produce something Of unique. It should be pointed out, however, that the group has embraced a desire to truly represent African youth in memory of the great names in history (Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Marcus Garvey, Lumumba …) More dignity and honor of the African peoples, not in order to oppose others but to be able to come into effective contact with them on the basis of what characterizes us. They thus felt the need to affirm their origin and communicate values ​​from where the name “ALL BLACK” to express a whole set of values ​​ranging from musical style, behavior, vision … Their art s Particularly to young people, but the subjects dealt with and the way of doing so only widen their field of action and all the age groups can be counted among their followers.

VI- Concept

The experience of these 4 young people apparently imposed a responsibility on the youth. They recognize themselves as young, swagg and can count among positive feedback on their art a large majority of young people ranging from teenagers to somewhat older kids, so for them to be followed implies that it conveys a way of being and thinking, They will call it the black attitude which is the fact of living fully what one feels without forgetting what is important (the parents, the studies, the modesty, the patience, the endurance, the rigor, the hope, love…).

Their album “THE FACE OF A LIFE” which is a compilation of several singles testifies easily to this ideology.
