The singer travelled to Ghana last year to collect inspiration for her new album, there she met with the new generation of producers from the Afro-Fusion and Afrobeat movement.

The new Afro-Pop remix is ​​a living example of this musical socialization. Kel-P, who carries on the acoustic tradition of Afrobeat, mixes it cheerfully with electronic rhythms to offer us a new version of Hanoi and usher in the summer. A clear and beguiling voice, strong lyrics with nostalgic tones. Profound melodies with Cape Verdean and African influences. Her first album Clair Obscur, in which Marie interprets one timeless and universal song after the other, is set to music by a central figure in world music, Jon Luz. The album, which will be released by the end of this summer, will be accompanied by afrobeat remixes in collaboration with some of the most promising producers of their generation. The release of “Hanoï” follows Marie Minet's debut single “Attendre l’Été”, which appeared in November last year, and the most recently released singles “Prête à tout”, “Je serais tout ce que tu veux” and “Happy End”. The French woman, who lives in Lisbon, combines traditional Portuguese instruments with French chanson in her music, thus building a bridge between tradition and various cultural influences.
