In 2018, she joined the orchestra of Lerie Sankofa, a former member of Ozouah Mam’s, with whom she took part in the 13th edition of MASA and the 9th Francophonie Games in Congo-Kinshasa, winning a bronze medal. As an arranger and co-composer, she has also developed collaborations with the Gabonese singer Nessa and the Ivorian singer Mpi.
