Obouo Productions

Obouo Productions is a record label and music-production company associated with France and founded by Ivorian producer David Monsoh. The business was initially established as Obouo Productions Ltd. on January 20, 2003, by David Monsoh and his brother Eulalie Monsoh. After the original venture, David Monsoh relaunched the label in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2011, with his partner Barbara Kahan. The relaunch is described as taking place in Beaumaris, Gwynedd, linking the company to both Francophone African music networks and a British corporate base. The label has also used the names Obouo Music and Obouo Media. Its activities have centered on artist representation, recorded-music production, music editing, and the development and release of music by performers from the Francophone African popular-music scene. Artists associated with the label have included Héritier Watanabe, who is identified as a current artist in the available reference material, as well as former artists such as Telehi, DJ Arafat, Ferre Gola, Fally Ipupa, and Koffi Olomide. These associations place Obouo Productions within the broader ecosystem of Congolese and West African popular music, even though the available material does not provide a complete discography, distribution roster, or detailed commercial-performance data. In 2013, the company created a related branch called Obouo Media. This division broadened the organization beyond record-label work into cinematographic-film production, video production, television-program production, sound recording, and music editing. The expansion suggests an attempt to build a wider audiovisual production platform rather than operate solely as a conventional music label. Obouo Productions' positioning is therefore best understood as an independent, producer-led entertainment company serving music and audiovisual production. Its public identity is tied particularly to David Monsoh's role as a producer and to artists working in Francophone African genres. Reliable public information about its current corporate ownership, headquarters, financial performance, distribution arrangements, executive team, and full present-day roster is limited.

Obouo Productions began as Obouo Productions Ltd. on January 20, 2003. The original company was founded by Ivorian producer David Monsoh and his brother Eulalie Monsoh. Publicly available accounts provide limited detail about the company's first period of operation, including its early releases, corporate structure, and distribution relationships. The organization was relaunched on April 14, 2011, in the United Kingdom by David Monsoh and Barbara Kahan. The relaunch is associated with Beaumaris in Gwynedd, Wales, while the company is commonly described as a record label from France. This cross-border history reflects the company's links to French-speaking African music markets and its British corporate presence. Obouo Productions has also been referred to as Obouo Music. Its label activities have included the production and release of recorded music and the association of artists from the Francophone African popular-music scene. The available reference material identifies Héritier Watanabe as a current artist and lists Telehi, DJ Arafat, Ferre Gola, Fally Ipupa, and Koffi Olomide among former artists. The roster indicates a focus on commercially prominent African performers, particularly artists connected with Congolese and related regional music traditions. In 2013, the company established Obouo Media as a related branch. Obouo Media expanded the organization's stated scope to cinematographic-film production, video production, television-program production, sound recording, and music editing. This development transformed the business from a label-centered operation into a broader audiovisual-production group. The available public record does not establish a complete chronology of releases, the precise legal relationship between Obouo Productions and Obouo Media, current ownership, headquarters, distribution partners, or financial results. It also does not provide enough information to determine the current status of every artist formerly associated with the label. The company is nevertheless presented as an active music and audiovisual brand, with its identity rooted in independent production and Francophone African entertainment.
