Laetitia Zonzambé is a pop music star in Central African Republic. Her career has been supported by Alliance Française and the United Nations Development Programme.[1]

Her songs and music, based on traditional African elements with European and Caribbean influences, have attracted the attention of fans in Africa and abroad, mainly among Africans in France.[2][3] She sings mostly in her home nation’s lingua franca, Sango and in tribal languages such as Yakoma. Zonzambé performs in a soulful style and demonstrates this throughout her oeuvre, such as in her cover of Otis Redding’s Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song) in Fafa.[4]
