The hit song “Coup du Marteau” by Tamsir has recently skyrocketed on YouTube, elevating the artist to the ranks of the prestigious YouTube Creator Awards recipients with a Silver award.
The breakthrough of the Ivorian music scene, Tamsir, has had a dazzling trajectory, particularly thanks to his hit ‘Coup du Marteau’, released in December 2023. This track, resulting from his collaboration with Team Paiya, became an instant sensation, almost serendipitously becoming the unofficial anthem of the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. The song’s impact exceeded expectations, stirring not only the streets of Abidjan but also online communities around the globe.
Echoing across social platforms, ‘Coup du Marteau’ has inspired dance challenges taken up by international celebrities, thrusting the song beyond Ivorian borders. On YouTube, the success is palpable: the video reached 20 million views in just two months.
This success has opened the doors of global recognition for Tamsir, with a notable performance as a special guest at a concert of the famous Ivorian rapper Didi B at the Olympia in Paris on February 15. Riding on this success, he embarked on a European tour, captivating audiences at concerts in France, Italy, and Germany.
Recently, Tamsir was celebrated in Paris, receiving the Silver YouTube Creator Award for surpassing 100,000 subscribers on his channel – a channel which is rapidly climbing with already more than 212,000 subscribers. Launched in November 2023, his YouTube channel perfectly illustrates the extent of his musical masterstroke, an ascent that can be likened to the force of a ‘hammer blow’.
