[Music] DJ Ramatoulaye – Decale Aladji (Alaji Alaji Alaji)

“Decale Alhaji (Alaji Alaji Alaji)” by DJ Ramatoulaye is a lively coupé-décalé track associated with the vibrant music scene of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. 

Released around 2006, the song reflects the energetic, dance-driven style that helped define Ivorian urban music in that era. With its catchy chant-like hook — “Alaji Alaji Alaji” — the track is built to get people moving, blending rhythmic percussion, party atmosphere, and a memorable refrain.

The song fits into the broader coupé-décalé movement, a genre known for its upbeat tempo, streetwise swagger, and club appeal. DJ Ramatoulaye’s style captures the celebratory spirit of Abidjan nightlife, where music, dance, and social energy come together. The repeated “Alaji” chant gives the track a hypnotic, communal feel, making it easy for crowds to sing along and dance to.
