Since their early years it has been Magic System's high energy live show that has garnered them attention, with this reputation helping to establish them as one of the most celebrated pop groups on the African continent. Their distinct zouglou dance style, a unique genre to develop in their homeland of the Ivory Coast, relies heavily on African rhythms, similar to ragga and reggaeton. It is music for dancing yet the lyrical content often carries political commentary. Magic System are hugely influential in spreading zouglou around the world, with their music achieving great success outside of Africa, such as in France, Belgium and the West Indies.
Seeing them perform live at the Stade de France was a truly vibrant experience, with their four-pronged vocal attack appearing to have boundless energy. They walked around the stage with such authority and presence that they were instantly enthralling and the crowd responded by chanting back the lyrics of Même Pas Fatigué with a powerful voice. Their music is ideal for party vibes and you are hard-pressed not to find yourself uncontrollably gyrating to their sensual rhythms. Yet they also have the ability to slow the tempo down and deliver their powerful lyrics of L'Eau Va Manquer, which is a call to arms for cooperation for the fight for liberation. A truly stunning performance that hits on many levels proving the Magic System are a quality, talented group who deserve wide acclaim.
