His dexterity on the guitar earned him the nickname “Tétanos” (Tetanus) from his friends, because when he plays, “he's deadly”! Yaovi is equally at home playing Congolese rumba and rock and punk riffs, reflecting his rich musical culture that is not limited to Africa. He accompanies Benin's greatest singers on stage. He is also a freelance teacher and a passionate seamster.
