Ivorian Afro-zouk icon Mathey reached a new generation in 2023 after her 1996 hit “Ameyatchi” gained widespread attention on TikTok. The song, which explores forgiveness and rising above gossip, inspired a dance trend so popular that over four million videos have now used the sound. She subsequently recorded a remix, which helped extend the track’s popularity. Mathey’s music blended zouk rhythms with Ivorian influences, reflecting themes of love, relationships, and women’s experiences. Although she periodically stepped away from the spotlight, her songs remained part of Côte d’Ivoire’s musical heritage. The viral resurgence prompted younger listeners to explore her wider catalog and helped revive interest in Afro-zouk. Mathey released additional songs in 2024 and 2025. Her revival demonstrates how social media can reconnect established African artists with new audiences.
