For the third episode of L’Autochtone, we are delighted to introduce you to Steven Amoikon @steven_amoikon_
After completing his studies on a scholarship at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Steven Amoikon returned to Abidjan with a solid foundation that helped him discover his true musical roots.
His innovative band, The Komando's, takes us on a musical journey with their melodious improvisations that blend Ivorian culture with Afro-American inspirations.
This piece provides the multi-faceted artist with a chance for refreshing introspection, revealing the transmission of identity through parent-child relationships.
As we explore the artist's shared musical passion with his son, we bear witness to their special bond, built upon an apprenticeship that fosters a willingness to share, rather than pressure. Their mentor, the master percussionist Bongo, also holds a significant role in this nurturing relationship.
