Jimmy Hyacinthe, born in 1947 in Abidjan's Treichville district, was a pioneering Ivorian musician renowned for modernizing traditional rhythms. As a founding member of the Afro-Caribbean group Bozambo in 1973, he blended traditional Ivorian sounds with Afrobeat, soul, and disco. His 1979 album "Goli" achieved significant success, particularly the track "Yatchiminou," which reimagined the Baoulé Goli dance rhythm. Hyacinthe's innovative approach left a lasting impact on West African music before his untimely passing on March 19, 1991.
