What languages do they sing in? The Jade Knight 06:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Their lyrics are in French, but they sing with a non negligible accent from Côte d'Ivoire that can be understood by Frenchmen but sometimes only if they give a particular attention when listening the music. For example, a Frenchman who listens the song Premier Gaou for the first time may not understand the lyrics. Some sentences are also written in another language in this song. 16@r 13:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

What is that other language? The Jade Knight 04:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe it is Arabic, no? Since they have roots in Africa it would make sense.Infinite Ninths 17:01, 5 November 2006 (GMT)

It didn't sound like Arabic to me, but I don't know what West-African Arabic would sound like. What language is the word "Gaou"? The Jade Knight 04:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

According to http://www.afromix.org/html/musique/paroles/articles/magic-system-premier-gaou.fr.html, it's the Dioula language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 16@r (talk • contribs)

My husband is dioula, he agrees. Are magic system coming to Europe anytime soon.

Although words are taken from dioula, in fact he's using an Ivorian street version of French called nouchi - see www.nouchi.com Africa1979 (talk) 21:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
