YBA Kalash is an urban music group from Ivory Coast that formed in 2017. The six members are Abdoulaye Diabaté, Ange Patrick Kouamé, Mamadou Diabaté, Yacouba Coulibaly, Ibrahim Barry, and Ismaël Koné. They gained attention with their single '4AM' that year.
Their music mixes traditional Ivory Coast rhythms with contemporary urban beats. Songs like 'Flores No Jardim' and 'Tipo Majin Boo' show their range, while lyrics often touch on social issues and everyday life. They've released albums including 'Le Temps' in 2019, 'ADN' in 2021, and 'Infini' in 2023.
In 2018, the group faced a legal dispute over ownership rights to '4AM.' They've also drawn some criticism for lyrics that address political topics, though they've continued making music that reflects their perspective.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
