# Ernest Ahippah

African tales and musicRennes, France2005

Musician, storyteller, singer and dancer from Côte d’Ivoire, Ernest Ahippah told stories of Africa through the djembe, the balafon, the sanza and the musical bow. Born in 1947 in Jacqueville, he came to France in 1972 and first worked as a typesetter and printer.

He founded the Bretagne-Côte d’Ivoire association in 1980, then opened the Appatame in 1990, the first African music and dance school in Rennes. He also wrote two children’s books for Milan, Un petit garçon trop pressé (2001) and Un petit garçon trop fanfaron (2002). He called himself a « Breton calciné », a charred Breton.

He performed his children’s show in Quelaines on 18 May 2005. He died on 24 March 2018.
