Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train singers on their team and occasionally perform with them. The competitors are selected in auditions where the coaches listen to the auditioning contestant without seeing them.

Coaches and hosts

The show is hosted by Claudy Siar. The original coaching panel included Charlotte Dipanda, Lokua Kanza, A'salfo and Singuila. All four coaches initially returned for the second season, but when the last shows were postponed, A'salfo and Dipanda were replaced by Youssoupha and Josey respectively, to serve as coaches from the Quarterfinals until the end of the season.[1]

For the show's third cycle, Hiro Le Coq were confirmed as a new coach,[2] while Charlotte Dipanda is also returning.[3] On 26 July 2019, it was announced that Nayanka Bell will join the panel, along with Lokua Kanza who returns to the show for his third season as coach.[4]

Notes

    1. ^ In season 2 of The Voice Afrique Francophone, A'salfo and Charlotte Dipanda originally signed up to serve as coaches full-time. However, due to a postponement which made the season finished later than planned, A'salfo and Dipanda were not able to resume their duties for the last four live shows because of pre-arranged commitments. Youssoupha and Josey replaced them, respectively, and served as coaches from the Quarterfinals until the end of the season. In the third season, Youssoupha again returning as coach replacing Nayanka Bell for the live shows, due to Bell being unable to return because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
