The influential Congolese musician Papa Wemba has died aged 66 after collapsing during a concert.
The musician fell ill in the early hours of Saturday morning. The cause of his death has not been established.
His pioneering blend of African, Cuban and Western sounds became one of Africa's most popular music styles.
Wemba also toured around the world, and recorded with British artist Peter Gabriel.
He died before he could be brought to hospital, a spokesman for the Ivosep morgue in Abidjan told Reuters news agency.
