Tina Glamour, the mother of the late DJ Arafat, has revealed the reasons for the dissolution of Yôrôgang, the production company of her late son.
Tina Glamour explained to DJ Arafat’s fans the reasons for the dissolution of Yôrôgang. The revelation was made by Lady Glam on Saturday, August 12, 2023, during a tribute concert to her late son, Arafat DJ, at the Palais de la Culture Bernard B. Dadié in Treichville, Côte d’Ivoire.
It was an occasion chosen by “Djadja” to announce the dissolution of Yôrôgang without giving reasons. “I am dissolving Yôrôgang. If Yôrôgang were to be reborn, it would be led by Houon Maël, as well as by Houon Ezekiel, Houon Lachoina, and Houon Rafna,” said Tina Glamour.
This news was unpleasantly received by DJ Arafat’s fans who quickly expressed their disapproval of this decision made by the “Daïshikan’s” mother. “You cannot dissolve something you did not create; only the founding members have that power,” and “Yôrôgang is more than just a group, it is a state of mind. Therefore, when Tina Glamour makes these statements, it is important to remember that it will not change anything for those who adhere to Yorobo’s philosophy,” can be read on social media.
Tina Glamour justifies the dissolution of Yôrôgang Several weeks after deciding to end Yôrôgang, Tina Glamour revealed the true reasons: “I dissolved Yôrôgang because the one who created it had already dissolved it. Yôrôgang is an institution, it is the label of Houon Ange Didier, aka DJ Arafat. He was someone who spoke his mind like his mother. When he saw that there was betrayal and everything, I think he had already dissolved it. After that, it was to be able to produce other people.”
Tina Glamour believes that only DJ Arafat’s descendants are best placed and authorized to continue the legacy of this group, which played an important role in her late son’s music career. “Today, the person is no longer here, so there are no better people than his children, who are growing up today, to lead. Friendship is a journey of life. Once your friend is no longer alive, you must take care of your own family. It is not to frustrate anyone, it is legal and legitimate. So, let the family settle for continuity. Yôrôgang friends, it is no longer possible, but Yôrôgang family, it is possible and it is coming,” she clarified.
