Magic System is a young outfit from Abidjan, unknown until two years ago, but they now perform in the Zénith in Paris, inviting Extra Musica and Koffi Olomide as guests. Both celebrities have become friends to them, and they helped Magic System starting their musical career. They have sold 1.5 million albums in Africa alone. Revitalising Zouglou, a popular music style in the 1980s, the title song Premier Gaou became a hugh success.

Magic System consist of: A'Salfo, Tino, Goudé and Manadja
Created: 1996
Style: Zouglou
Album cover 'Premier Gaou'
