Just a few days after the release of his new collaborative track with Serey Die titled “CAN Couleur,” Hassan Hayek has announced some exciting news to his fans.
Known by the evocative name “The Vagabond of Charity,” Hassan Hayek has won the hearts of Ivorians through his numerous charitable works in favor of the underprivileged. Having gained popularity on social media, this Lebanese individual settled in Côte d’Ivoire for over a decade has recently unveiled an unfamiliar aspect of his talent: his singing voice as an artist.
The Ivorian businessman teamed up with the former captain of the Ivorian national football team, Serey Dié, to create a song in tribute to the national football team participating in the 2023 African Cup of Nations (CAN), an event taking place in Côte d’Ivoire. The track, titled “CAN Couleur,” resonated far beyond borders, even capturing the attention of international celebrities, including the American rapper of Senegalese origin, Akon.
The song struck a deep artistic chord with Akon, prompting him to collaborate with Hassan Hayek. The latter’s vocal talent evidently amazed him, leading Akon to consider a feature with the Ivorian artist. Hassan Hayek shared his joy and surprise on social media, revealing that the American rapper was moved to tears by their collaborative song.
In a Facebook post, Hassan Hayek stated, “To all the event promoters! Apologies, we can’t perform our song locally anymore! We’re currently preparing a feature with Akon, because he was moved to tears when he heard our song!” This announcement immediately sparked a flurry of reactions across the internet.
Preparations for this sensational duo are already underway. Hassan Hayek’s team is in contact with Akon’s representatives to orchestrate this musical alliance that promises to enchant fans on both sides of the Atlantic.
