What’s the Togolese culture, a coming star: Di Valgo Jez. A twenty-eight years old, Chevelure “rasta” face poupin, son of this country seduced by her vocal timbre, its pace and particularly by the relevance of its messages. In his counter, two albums (already!) On his young solo career, which began only in 2002, we can dare to bet big.

Di Valgo Jez, the star of Togo

Di Valgo Jez, whose real name is Jean Pierre Koffi BOKO, was born in the department of Plateaux at the centre of Togo. Very early in college, he was bitten by virus culture. He first started with the theatrical. And as he himself said, the role of main actor has always been his preference. In 1995 he came to the music. It is very early attracted by the rhythms as hi life, inspired by traditional. In 2002, he settled in Cotonou where he took up a career Solo.

The relevance of the message
Without having to environments with “rasta” Di Valgo jez, inherited the verve and tone revolutionary. Thus, injustice, imperialism are meat and drink of his songs. “I denounce impunity, bad governance, abuse of political refugees and children,” he said. To the question: Where do these inspirations him? He replied: “The events of life, loneliness long journeys through the landscapes I discover aliens.

A journey praiseworthy
In 2003, the first album. The opus goes unnoticed: no meditation, no promotion either. The precariousness in which the artist lived also contributed. The quality of the Phonographic opus also unsatisfactory because the recording studio was in its infancy with little sophisticated equipment. In 2004, the second album known as The Bakè Sè. A small success, a small promotion in Benin and especially in Lome. The four television channels Beninese are not removed. Impact: Di Valgo Jez has been dropping a few invitations for concerts. But again, disability arose. The management is lacking, the album has a poor sales and the artist is unable to recover its investment because it was a self.

But these setbacks did not start. He proceeded immediately to the work. And currently, he says “my third album is ready. “To avoid the mistakes of the past, it does not set aside before its release. Currently it is hard for a good management of this album called The Buèkè Sè.

The culture, language and values
Di Valgo Jez is truly a child of his land. It is committed to ethnicity; Akposso in which he composes his songs. “I understand the French and the English and Mina. Yet, I sing it in my language Akposso in which I express my thoughts better. “He says. Also appreciates Does all artists who sing in their own languages. “A true artist, is the melody, vocal timbre, the message and all this shows is that in their own language. “He adds. For him, the mission of which is invested an artist is purely humanitarian, educational and saving. The artist must participate in the education of the population. And this is what he is trying to do. “I participated in the evolution of humanity through my songs is the best return that I can draw from my profession as an artist. “Di Valgo Jez is a man committed to the moral values, honour, dignity, respect for one’s word. “It’s not just the money that counts,” he said often.

The humanist and the scriptwriter
Di Valgo Jez has the cult of humanism and philanthropy. He even having experienced the horrors of poverty, making service to others is the work for him the noblest of life. Therefore, it is considering creating an NGO that will have some studio where artists can get free produce.

“I fight a lot to get my production structure that will help artists to produce, promote and distribute their works for free.” But it is aware that this will not be easy especially the need of substantial resources to install this structure. He can count on his determination to succeed and his thinking positive. And it was he himself who said: “The start of anything is difficult, but the determination and courage lead to perfection. For want is power and the will is like faith. “

Daydreaming, imaginative, creative, Di Valgo Jez has already written two scenarios. It does not stop there. Jump up to make films, it was his dream. The first scenario is titled “The sword of my husband” and the second “The Smile of the orphan.”

The gall. . .
Much has discouraged Di Valgo Jez in his young career. Setbacks known during his previous two albums are still alive, that the artist is at the same time the composer, performer, manager, promoter, producer, arranger. . .

Similarly dishonesty of some irritates the cultural entrepreneurs “They take everything and leave nothing for the artist who has yet to live his inspiration and his job is outraged” he said.

The cry of heart
“I want to make myself known to the outside world. If I have contracts at the international level, it will make me much pleasure. I would like to be a producer for the success of my career. Therefore, I ask all people of goodwill to support me to give strength and efficiency in my fight for the education and training of our people. ” This appeal demonstrates once again the commitment of this artist party to be emulated.
