Emmanuel Pi Djob
The Multi-Faceted Artist
Who is Emmanuel Pi Djob?
I still don’t know…
It’s as if the elements have embodied themselves in his voice to make him one of their spokesmen. He seems to be one of those who has been given a mission. He has the talents, but above all, the courage and humility to be worthy of it, and he has set to work…
His work is genuine, natural, deep, wide-ranging and committed, with the boldness, perseverance and tenacity that reflect its essential, unconscious legitimacy. With no concessions other than the form of the message and the variety of repertoire or style. He creates, he listens, he plays, he composes, he brings to life…
His voice speaks to you, questions you, surrounds you and reveals you at the same time. It connects you to the essential, to your own essential.
It listens to you… in your very being, sometimes courteously, quite often disturbingly, but always with kindness…
It’s exceptional…
From the very lowest to the highest notes, his voice unfolds from pure flesh to gentle spirituality. Whether subtle or raspy, the intensity is without artifice:
Is it the solid, sovereign, reassuring voice of a royal Bassa’a baritone, or the luminous halo of his distinctive head harmonics? Unique!
It’s a perfect blend of nature’s richness, diversity and beyond… With its vibrant, intense colours and its softness and tenderness – the imposing presence of the artist.
This free, intense, yet respectful voice is an invitation to communion and sharing. It reaches everyone without prerequisites. It soothes and uplifts, comforts and alerts. It awakens you to humanity, to humanism…
You listen from the soles of your feet to the tips of your hair. You resonate in echo with the depths of the universe… irresistibly, like with plants, vegetation, and other animals…
Almost everything around seems in harmony, connected…
In vibration you are connected…
Do you want to listen or just hear… continue?
But do you really have a choice…
So tell me,
who is Emmanuel Pi Djob?

Last Album
“Get on Board!” is a mature, authentic work rich in sounds.
The new version of the album Get on Board! Deluxe Edition will delight fans. Refocused on groove, it gives its full meaning to the Afro-Soul label claimed by Emmanuel Pi Djob.
Five new tracks take us even further: the journey leads us from the Caribbean to India, through West Africa, ultimately reviving that original Afrosoul sound, blended with rock and rhythm’n blues, which is his trademark.
