Rapper Tiakola, originally from La Courneuve, has been named ambassador for Seine-Saint-Denis for the Youth Olympic Games taking place in Dakar. The artist will accompany a hundred young people from the department during this event, scheduled from October 31 to November 16.
Tiakola, who has just released his new album WpointM, will also give a concert in Dakar in early November as part of these Youth Games. He emphasizes the importance of team spirit, forged by his past in football and his large family.
Reflecting on his adolescence in La Courneuve and Le Bourget, the rapper states that these cities gave him creativity, determination, and self-confidence. He is ready to motivate young people whenever he has the opportunity.
Describing himself more as a 'voice' than an ambassador for popular neighborhoods, Tiakola aims to highlight the department and its talents. He reminds young people of the importance of pursuing their goals by working to achieve them.
